Many snoring remedies can leave sufferers uncomfortable and frustrated, wasting time and money. In contrast, 91% of sleepers noticed a significant reduction in snoring after trying an adjustable bed.
Discover the key to quality sleep and improved well-being with our guide to luxurious and uninterrupted rest with an adjustable bed:
What Causes Snoring?
Snoring happens when your airways are blocked, whether that’s your nose or your throat. When your throat relaxes as you fall asleep, unsupported muscles can block your breathing passages and cause you to start snoring. Similarly, swollen or off-center nose passages block the flow of air, making breathing more labored, and causing you to snore.
Reasons your throat or nose passages might be blocked include:
- Being Overweight
- Low and Thick Soft Palate
- Blocked Nose from a Cold or Flu
- Deviated Septum
- Drinking Alcohol Before Bed
- Aging
- Sleeping on Your Back
- Unsupportive Mattress
What is an Adjustable Bed and How Does it Prevent Snoring?
Adjustable beds let you personalize your mattress’s angle and elevation by your head or feet. By elevating your head or upper body, you open up your airway passages to allow for unrestricted breathing.
Here’s what adjustable beds can do to prevent snoring:
- Lifting Your Head and Upper Body: Elevating the head can reduce pressure on the diaphragm and make it easier for the lungs to expand, thereby improving breathing.
- Opening Up Your Airways: This elevation can also prevent the neck muscles from collapsing onto themselves in a way that would block your airways.
- Balancing Your Digestive Track: Stomach acids are less likely to travel back up into the esophagus and throat when you sleep in a slightly elevated position. By reducing the swelling caused by acid reflux, your airway passages remain clear.
- Supporting Your Spine: When your spine is in alignment with your head and neck, your improved posture opens up your breathing passages.
