What Is a Stop Snoring Pillow and How Does It Work?
Many people find that a stop snoring pillow can help them and their sleeping partner get some uninterrupted sleep at last.
You have to remember that it isn't just the person with the snore problem that suffers, it's also their sleeping partner or even other members of the family in other rooms.
So everyone may benefit from an anti snore pillow.
But, how on earth does it work and is it for everybody? You'll get answers to these questions here...
Stop snoring pillows (and sleep apnea pillows) are one of the most popular anti snore aids in use today.
In general, their main function is to support the neck and head in such an aligned way as to keep the airways open during slumber.
And this is important because snoring is generally the result of airways that get restricted during sleep by soft tissue that has moved into them.
One of the ways that this can happen is if the snorer sleeps on their back, as many do.
As they sleep, the lower jaw becomes relaxed and falls down.
The tongue then moves back into the airway against the soft palate, causing the airway to become restricted.
So the key desire is to prevent this from happening during the night.
Anti snore pillows differ from your everyday pillows in that they are specifically designed and contoured in such a manner that they help to guide and maintain your head, neck, shoulders and even your body, into a position that prevents the soft tissue sliding into your airways.
Some help you to sleep on your side, other on your front.
Some types even claim to allow you to sleep on your back but 'reposition' your head and neck to help keep the airways open.
Now, depending on the individual underlying cause of snoring (e.
g.
sinus allergies, back sleeping, being overweight, unhealthy diet, eating to close to bedtime, drinking alcohol before bed, etc.
) these pillows may, or may not, be the best solution for you.
Even if they are a good option and do give some improvement, sometimes they just aren't enough on their own.
You may still need to wear a stop snoring mouthpiece to really ensure that your lower jaw stays in the correct position relative to your upper jaw.
And, you need to be aware also that snore pillows can be very costly, since they are especially made, often with particular materials.
For example, you can get ones that are made of special allergy-free materials.
Notwithstanding the cost, they are a very popular solution for a number of snorers and also people with sleep apnea...
