Sleep Experts Tips and Tricks for Patients with Positional Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Positional Therapy for Better Sleep and Reduced Snoring

Why Positional Therapy Works

Sleeping on your back can worsen snoring and sleep apnea, as gravity naturally pulls the airway closed. By promoting a side-sleeping posture, positional therapy can keep the airway open, helping patients breathe more easily, snore less, and wake up feeling more refreshed. Rematee’s Bumper Belt is specifically designed to keep users comfortably on their side throughout the night.

Pro Tip: Encourage patients to use the belt loosely around the waist with snug shoulder straps. This allows the inflatable bumpers to support them effectively without discomfort.

How Rematee’s Bumper Belt Helps

Keeps You on Your Side: The inflatable cylinders in the belt prevent rolling onto the back, reducing gravity’s impact on the airway. Rematee’s design is both comfortable and supportive, ideal for anyone struggling with back sleeping habits.
Customizable Comfort: The expansion pocket in the belt can be unzipped to fit jumbo inflatables, offering double the support if needed. Patients can personalize the belt with additional adjustments for the ideal fit.
Durable & Breathable Material: Made with light, breathable neoprene, the belt stays comfortable all night without overheating, and the soft shoulder straps add extra stability.

Benefits of Side-Sleeping for Snoring and Sleep Apnea

Side sleeping minimizes the effects of gravity on the tongue and soft palate, helping to keep the airway open. This reduces the risk of snoring and sleep apnea events, allowing for a more restful sleep. Positional therapy has been validated in sleep labs and recommended by thousands of sleep professionals, making it a trusted method for improving sleep quality.

Tip for Sleep Comfort: Advise patients to place a pillow in front of their chest and a thin pillow between their knees. This will help them maintain a natural side-sleeping posture and reduce strain on their back.
