3 Pillows and the Right Mattress Will Help You Stop Snoring

Pillows Can Help You Stop Snoring Tonight

Medical studies prove that sleeping in the prone postition (or on your back) increases the breathing obstructions that lead to snoring and sleep apnea. Therefore if you want a natural way to reduce your snoring or stop snoring altogether you should teach or force yourself to sleep either on your side or in the supine position on your stomach.

Studies also show devices that force patients to sleep on their belly are tolerated by less than half of the subjects who try them. So while they are worth trying it is easier to first try using an assortment of pillows that can help you stay on your side or stomach while sleeping.

Wedge pillows come in various dimensions and depending on your weight and sleep pattern you will need one placed behind your back to keep you from turning onto your back after you fall asleep.

To assist in keeping you on your side use a body pillow and place it between your knees. This serves to keep your legs from rubbing or numbing and the added comfort will help you resist turning if you habitually roll on your back during sleep.

The third pillow in your anti snoring arsenal should be the one you rest your head on but in a special design. While sleeping on your side numbness in your arm will make you reposition onto your back while sleeping. There are several varieties of No Snore, Anti Snoring or Snore No More Pillows. Depending on your weight and sleeping pattern a simple cervical pillow might be enough. Cervical pillows have a inverted semi circle that gives your neck support nd cradles your head while sleeping on your side to help keep airway passages open. If you are heavier or more restless during sleep then Sona makes a pillow designed by a neurologist and it was sleep-tested in clinical trials, this special pillow lets you sleep comfortably on your side, positioning your jaw and neck to help keep your airway open.

Finally memory foam mattresses or overlay toppers will allow you stay in one position without numbness to your extremities. Often sleeping on an innerspring mattress is a problem, especially if you are over weight, because when you sleep on your side the natural tendency is to lie on your downside arm. Memory foam, or a pillow designed to lay over your arm will alleviate pressure on the arm and bottom leg to allow you to sleep on your side longer.
