Snoring can be the result of several conditions, including acid reflux and sleep apnea. Sleep positions have a strong impact on both these conditions, and the right sleeping position can reduce or eliminate snoring all together. While many snoring suffers try sleeping on pillows to keep their head and neck elevated, an adjustable mattress offers a much more practical and efficient solution to the problem of snoring.
Two factors figure strongly in the quality of sleep- comfort and air flow through the air passages. Posture has a strong impact on the quality of sleep. The alignment of the spine and joints is critical to comfort and relaxation that contributes to entering the deeper stages of sleep. By allowing the spine to align correctly and keeping the airway open, an adjustable bed provides improved air flow and sleep quality.
Snoring is caused by a restriction in the air flow through the nose and throat. The inability of air to flow through the passages leads to vibration of the tissues, which is heard as snoring. Snoring isn’t just annoying to your partner or spouse, it can be a symptom of serious medical challenges. Sleep apnea can cause a disturbance in breathing throughout the night, which means the body is not receiving adequate oxygen.
With an adjustable mattress, it’s possible to choose the level of elevation for optimum comfort and posture. If your spouse or partner has a snoring problem, an adjustable mattress relieves many of the conditions that lead to snoring. Whether you opt for an automatically adjustable bed with electronic controls, or a more budget-friendly manually adjustable bed, the ability to change positions will help alleviate snoring and provide a more comfortable, quieter night’s sleep.
