My name is Tommy Stern, and I’m an “ideas guy.” I first created the Reflux Guard© Mattress Wedge out of a personal need to desperately end my long suffering from Acid Reflux. I designed and manufactured the first Reflux Guard© for myself, and it profoundly impacted my life. For the first time in a very long time, I had relief of my severe reflux, and I was able to get a restful night’s sleep. I knew that I wasn’t alone in my suffering. For these reasons, I was compelled to share my invention with the world.
First and foremost, I see myself as an inventor. My first invention was a retractable syringe designed to prevent people from accidentally sticking themselves with contaminated needles, and needlessly contracting HIV or other blood borne pathogens. I made this discovery in 1987, and subsequently received a patent (#4,900,311) for it. Eventually in 2000, President Clinton signed a law requiring the use of safer needle stick devices.
As an inventor, I focus on how I can improve other people’s lives. Some of the products I invented became game changers and have saved many lives! Currently I am focused on marketing this latest invention – The Reflux Guard© Mattress Wedge. I’m very proud of it. My mission is to share the great benefits I received from my mattress bed wedge, and to publicize my product in order to help others enjoy the same benefits.
The Reflux Guard© Mattress Wedge is a revolutionary, non-invasive solution for chronic heartburn that elevates the head of the bed to the medically recommended heights of approximately 6” and 4″. In the spirit of helping as many people as possible, we customize and make all sizes.
Providing customers with the Reflux Guard© is the best job in the world, and I thank you for your support. The Reflux Guard© changed my life, and I hope that you will feel the same way about my product. Please join me in this exciting journey to live a more fulfilled and healthier life.
