- SLEEP APNEA PILLOW - sleep better at night Feel fresh in the morning
This is the simplest way to treat sleep apnea and snoring! A sleep apnea pillow is designed to ensure you remain in a side sleeping position throughout the evening, to reduce snoring and sleep apnea side effects.
Maybe you heard that sleeping on the back can worsen snoring. The muscles from the neck are relaxing into a position that can obstruct the airway.
The tongue is also blocking the airway when we sleep with the face up.
If you sleep with the body on the side, the airway is more likely to remain open and the air will circulate in optimal quantity.
Many people use homemade remedies on their backside, such as backpacks or putting balls in the night suit. However, a
pillow for sleep apnea
is more comfortable and you'll get used to it easier.
This video will demonstrate what I'm talking about:
As you can see in this video, the product is not exactly a sleep pillow, but a t-shirt. It's a lot more comfortable than a sleep apnea pillow.
This anti snore shirt has 3-4 inflatable bumpers on the back of it which keep the wearer sleeping on their side, therefore allowing the airway to stay open more easily.

I hope it's not too late to jump on conclusion, but I want to clarify who can benefit from positional therapy to treat sleep apnea and snoring:
if you have moderate or mild sleep apnea.
if you just snore, without apnea events in your sleep.
if nasal sprays and nose strips weren't effective for you.
you failed cpap or oral appliance for various reasons.
you are not obese (In this case, I can't guarantee that positional therapy can treat your sleep apnea or snoring. However, sleeping on the side may improve your sleep apnea symptoms).
if you don't have insurance and cannot afford a CPAP machine, I believe
this therapy option
can really help you. This is very cheap, compared with a CPAP or a dental device.
There are many types of sleep pillows on the market. Some of them are not suitable for you. If you have problems finding a convenient pillow, you must ask your sleep technician to help you.
After I bought a pillow for sleep apnea, I spend a few nights to get used to it. But after that, my pillow has eliminated the snore, the headaches and the tiredness that comes from sleep apnea. It was only a matter of time until I found the anti snore t-shirt.
I am lucky to have only a mild case of sleep apnea. This pillow has improved my life quality only because I don't have a severe sleep disorder. My wife told me that she no longer knows how I sleep, because she also sleeps like a baby.
But if you are overweight, I think you need more than a pillow or a t-shirt to stop snoring. I hope you are agree with me.
