Choosing a snoring pillow

Whatever people do to try to stop snoring. One option is to purchase a snoring cushion. The types of such products, their features, as well as the choice of such models will be discussed.

Snoring is often a constant companion of many, causing discontent among people sleeping nearby. In addition to the obvious discomfort for those around you, snoring can be called one of the signs of the development of apnea, a serious illness that subsequently leads to the development of hypertension, strokes, heart attacks. A person during sleep cannot control his breathing, delaying it can be fatal.

A snoring pillow is considered one of the options to get rid of the problem.... When using such a pillow, a person's head will lie flat during sleep, the chest and shoulders will be straightened, and the spine will be in the correct position. Thanks to this, the muscles of the neck relax, blood flow improves, the skin is saturated with oxygen. A high-quality product will not only allow you to forget about snoring, but will also allow you to get rid of many diseases such as osteochondrosis, migraines.

Such products have their own characteristics.

• Snoring pillows can have different shapes, depending on the position in which the person with the problem prefers to sleep. You can buy a product in the shape of a rectangle, choose a model with a depression in the center, or choose a pillow in the form of a roller. There are product options designed for those who like to sleep on their backs or on their sides, as well as for people who often change their body position during sleep.
• Such products may have unequal thickness in different areas, which allows them to adapt to the shape of the head and the bend of the neck, spine.
• The use of special fillers inside makes it possible to ensure the optimal position of a sleeping person.

To reduce the likelihood of various problems associated with snoring, experts are constantly developing various devices, one of them is a special pillow. This accessory is designed with the human in mind. The following types of similar products can be distinguished:

• orthopedic;
• anatomical;
• latex;
• filled with water, buckwheat or other husk;
• hiking inflatable options;
• "Smart" designs.

Each type has its own characteristics.

Orthopedic pillows are considered one of the most popular options.... They can be purchased in specialized stores such as "Medtekhnika" or ordered on the website on the Internet. They are quite stiff to the touch. Thanks to the special cushion located under the neck and the slight flexibility of the product, the sleeper's head is well supported during sleep, which prevents snoring.

Anatomical pillow is similar in shape to the orthopedic model, but this product is more pleasant to the touch and much softer... In orthopedic models, the rollers are located not only in the neck area, but also on the side, which makes it difficult to roll over a person in a dream. The anatomical pillow exactly follows the curves of the body and makes sleep as comfortable as possible, which allows you to get complete rest and well-being.

As for the "smart" models, they also have their fans. This design consists of special cameras and a device with a microphone. The development of such models was first started by Japanese scientists who created a pillow that can change the height. Thanks to the built-in microphone, when the corresponding vibrations appear, the model begins to fill with air, which leads to its increase by several centimeters. At the same time, the snoring person begins to change position or wakes up. The disadvantages of this design include its high cost, the presence of electrical cables necessary for the operation of the product, as well as a rather large weight, reaching 2 kg.

As fillers for such products, synthetic materials are used in the form of:

• latex;
• foam rubber;
• polyester;
• technogel.

Latex anti-snoring pillows are well proven. This material has good elasticity, which allows it to quickly take the desired shape. During sleep, such products will support the neck and head well. This is a hypoallergenic material, dust mites will not start in it. Also, the advantages of this option include its functionality and lightness, which allows you to use the pillow not only at home, but also on a trip. Inflatable models can be used as a travel option.

Also used memorial form... The use of this modern hypoallergenic material with a memory effect and the ability to remember the contour allows it to be successfully used for orthopedic pillows that protect against snoring. In the process of processing, contour cutting is used, due to which the maximum circulation of air flows inside the product occurs. Products with synthetic fillers have a fairly long service life, which allows the use of pillows for about 10 years.

Pillows filled with buckwheat or husk... This is absolutely environmentally friendly hypoallergenic material... Such models quickly take the shape of the head during sleep and do not change it.

When choosing snoring pillows, you should pay attention to the following models:

• on products with a special stitching, a recess for the head located in the center;
• on a model with a notch in the shoulder area;
• on models with a raised center, making sleeping on the back uncomfortable;
• on latex pillows with a wave-like ergonomic shape;
• products with a star shape;
• road options.
