Best product for moderate positional sleep apnea?

Post by nappynewt » Sun Jul 09, 2017 7:17 am

So far I am aware of the Rematee and SlumberBump.

Any other options to consider besides the tennis ball method?

A APAP, set to the proper range. Then it won't matter, your treatment will do it's job and other devices won't bother what your body wants. Jim

At the risk of boring everyone all over again...

I sleep alone ('cept for my cat) and so can get away with this - I cut a 3" wide, 4" deep and 1' long 'trench' in my memory foam mattress starting at the head and going towards the foot, with an electric knife, and rounded top edges with scissors. I have a FF mask and when sleeping on my front with my head turned right, the mask dips into the trench diagonally or more vertically, avoiding a very sore neck in the a.m. I've also cut and fiddled with sheets to accommodate things, but have been sleeping like this for years, and so far so good. Important to mention is that my particular mask's vent holes are higher on the mask than most (which are usually at the elbow), so foam or sheet don't block holes but probably would for other masks.

A fluffy, long-ish pillow under the sheet.
Lie down with your back to the pillow.
If the pillow is fluffy enough, it gets awkward to roll onto it,
and it is not some unfriendly, pokey thing to take away your comfort.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I think I'll be trying a "Face-down Breathe EASY Pillow" pillow first. Would post the link but my registration isn't approved yet.

I do this in the winter with a body pillow for some limited success, but it just gets too hot in the summer.
