Sleep Apnea Pillow
Posted in sleep apnea devices on 14. May, 2009
Since chronic breathing cessation during sleep is most frequently triggered by the obstruction of theĀ airways, a sleep apnea pillow can often provide sleep assistance. Designed to follow the anatomical contour of the body, these specially-designed pillows enable even distribution of the body forces on the shoulders and the arms, so that your resting position is completely unrestrictive.
A sleep apnea pillow elevates your head at the correct angle, allowing for the full extension of the neck. As a result, your airways are opened. This is ideal for side sleepers in particular, a position which is encouraged by the pillow. In fact, resting on your stomach or your back has often been associated with severe cases of breathing cessation.
By the way, snoring is also dramatically reduced since the spinal alignment receives a full support of the body frame.
It is worth noting, however, that using a sleep apnea pillow is generall more effective for those with a mild to moderate apnea condition. It’s less effective for those who have a severe condition.
Usually manufactured from polyurethane memory foam, the sleep apnea pillow can be bought from special shops or ordered directly on the Internet. Prices vary between $100 and $200 depending on the brand and the special features that may be incorporated in the structure.
