Sleep Apnea Pillows


There are some people who do get the recommended amount of sleep, but still get up fatigued. This can be related to their snoring. Snoring is a very serious medical issue. To combat that, sleep apnea pillows can be used.

Sleep apnea pillows have been known to treat sleep apnea in some people. Before you try one, you must know whether or not you are just snoring or if the snoring is a result of sleep apnea (obstructive). However, even it is snoring without the condition, you can still use one of these pillows to reduce your snoring, if nothing else.

Sleep apnea pillows can help the airway of your throat stay open. Because sleep apnea causes your breathing to be irregular and interrupted, the pillow works to make your breathing regular again. The irregular and interrupted breathing usually happens during the evening when you are sleeping.

The special pillows are designed with panels of foam that are elevated, unlike a regular pillow. The elevation works to keep your head slanted. This helps to increase your breathing pattern to make it regular and uninterrupted again.

Sleep apnea pillows can be made to where they can be used in more than one sleeping position. They are adjustable, so that you can sleep in the way that is most comfortable for you. They provide you with plenty of support so that you can get a good night’s sleep.

The sleep apnea pillow also helps in the following ways in regard to sleep apnea:

· Blocked airways are opened—this helps with snoring relief and sleep apnea

· Provides comfort and support so that you can get a good night’s sleep

· Relieves you from the fatigue that you experience as a result of your sleep apnea condition

· The pillow allows you to sleep like a baby


There are people who are chronic snorers that have never used these types of pillows and don’t want to try them. They would rather get sleeping pills and end up getting dependent on them. Medication is not a good alternative to assist you with your snoring or sleep apnea. In fact, medication is not recommended because it has proven not to be effective.
