Doctor-Recommended Positioning for Sleep Apnea Relief and Better Breathing
Your pillow might be blocking your breathing. Here's how our sleep apnea wedge pillow transforms your rest:
Elevates your upper body at the optimal angle to use gravity to keep airways open, preventing the throat collapse that causes breathing interruptions and loud snoring throughout the night
Reduces sleep disruptions by maintaining consistent head and neck elevation, allowing you to spend more time in deep, restorative sleep phases without apnea episodes
Distributes pressure evenly across your head, neck, and shoulders, eliminating uncomfortable positioning that can worsen airway obstruction and breathing difficulties
Adapts to your breathing needs with responsive support that maintains proper spinal alignment while keeping airways clear, unlike flat pillows that can contribute to throat collapse
Frequently Asked Questions: Wedge Pillow for Sleep Apnea
Can a wedge pillow replace my CPAP machine?
A wedge pillow is not a replacement for prescribed CPAP therapy, but it can be an excellent complement to your treatment plan. Many people with mild sleep apnea find significant relief with elevation alone, while others use it alongside their CPAP for enhanced comfort and effectiveness. Always consult your sleep specialist before making changes to prescribed treatments.
What angle of elevation is best for sleep apnea?
Most sleep specialists recommend elevating your head and upper body 30-45 degrees for optimal sleep apnea relief. Our wedge pillow is designed at the clinically proven angle to maximize airway opening while maintaining comfortable sleep positioning throughout the night.
Will this help with snoring even if I don't have diagnosed sleep apnea?
Yes, our wedge pillow can significantly reduce snoring by keeping airways open through proper elevation. Many people who snore but don't have sleep apnea find relief through elevated sleeping, as it prevents the tongue and soft tissues from collapsing backward and blocking airflow.
How long does it take to get used to sleeping elevated?
Most people adjust to sleeping on a wedge pillow within 1-2 weeks. Start by using it for short periods during naps or relaxation, then gradually increase usage. The improved breathing and reduced sleep disruptions typically make the adjustment period worthwhile for better overall sleep quality.
Can I use this wedge pillow if I'm a side sleeper?
Absolutely. Our wedge pillow is designed to accommodate all sleep positions while maintaining the elevation needed for sleep apnea relief. Side sleeping on an elevated surface can actually be even more effective for keeping airways open than back sleeping alone.
