Reflux, Sleep Wedges And Mattress Sagging

Suffering from reflux, I started using a sleep wedge.

The downside to using a sleep wedge is that it means you put more weight on your hip area. Over time, that's causing our mattresses to sag. Even buying good quality mattresses and rotating weekly, I'm going through a mattress every 12-18 months, which is too expensive and terrible for the environment!

I feel like trash if I don't use the wedge, even if I stop eating/drinking long before bedtime.

Although I'm a big chap, I'm not overweight, so that's not an option to avoid the problem.

Does anyone have any advice on how they manage using a wedge and not ruining mattresses please? Or if not a direct answer to that question, how do you manage your sleep wedge situation please?
