The ear well (hole) is designed to elevate the
chin approximately one inch. This encourages the airway passage to open,
thereby increasing air flow. The ear well and chin tilt increases the
natural curve in your neck, essential for good sleep posture. There’s no
“incorrect” way to use the pillow - some people sleep with the long
portion of the pillows behind them, others sleep with the long portion in
front. Whatever is most comfortable. The SleepPosture™ pillow helps to
train you to sleep in a better posture for better health. Anytime we try a
new diet, exercise, sport, or physical activity, there is an adjustment
period. Changing years of “sleep behavior” also takes time. Give the
pillow at least two to three weeks of nightly use.
The benefits of the SleepPosture™ Pillow are
many. Here are just a few.
› Beyond support for your head, neck and spine,
the pillow prevents rolling on your back or stomach and torsion — twisting
your spine in two directions at once.
› An ear space on the pillow prevents painful
“ear folding”.
› Side sleeping helps reduce snoring that can be
a dangerous sign of sleep apnea.
› Reduce bed soreness combining the SleepPosture™
Pillow with a regular bed pillow to rotate positions from the back to the
sides.
› Reduce stress on your heart, particularly if
you have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, by sleeping in an
upright position. This position allows the heart to work with gravity and
decreases stress.
› The SleepPosture™ pillow is great for
expecting mothers. A life-long back sleeper, who was experiencing back
pain as the result of her pregnancy, said the pillow helped train her to
sleep on her left side, providing better blood flow to the fetus.
› Sleep sitting up when you are taking a long
car trip with the SleepPosture™ Pillow supporting your neck and head.
