Although snoring is a common complaint, it can be particularly disruptive to you or your partner’s sleep. It’s widely believed that half the population snore at some time in their life, with more men in Ireland snoring than women.
Although snoring can be caused by sleep apnoea, it’s usually because of lifestyle factors such as being overweight, smoking, drinking too much alcohol or sleeping on your back.
Can Changing Your Sleep Position Prevent Snoring?
Your sleeping position affects snoring. Sleeping flat on your back is often a reason why people snore. When you sleep on your back, your tongue collapses to the back of your throat, causing vibration.
Sleeping on your side or in a slightly raised position can prevent this from happening. However, for people with back pain, sleeping on your side can cause discomfort and pain.
Can Electric Adjustable Beds Help Snoring?
To stop snoring, people try and prop themselves up with a pillow or cushion. Unfortunately, this isn’t very effective. Pillows can become dislodged during the night. And in some cases, this can cause more harm than good, such as putting pressure on the back or neck.
A slipped pillow prop means that you end up in the same position again and snoring resumes.
An adjustable or electric bed can help prevent snoring and support the back, offering the best of both worlds.
Sleeping on your back relieves alleviates lower back pain, but can cause snoring. A safer way to ensure you’re getting optimal support and comfort for your back is by using an adjustable bed.
Designed to be safely raised to ensure the correct spinal alignment, you can adjust your electric bed into a position that best meets your support and comfort needs.
By raising the head of the bed, this prevents the airways from being blocked. A raised head position eliminates the risk of snoring while supporting the correct posture. For snorers and their partners, this offers significant relief and the opportunity for a restful night’s sleep.
Adjustable Beds for Two
Electric adjustable beds design has come on significantly in recent years. Most models now come in a wide range of sizes including 2’6, 3′, 4′, 5′ and 6′ models. Five-foot and six-foot adjustable beds consist of two beds joined together. Some of these beds offer dual motor control for independent adjustment of the upper and lower body. These are ideal for anyone who snores or needs to adjust the bed during the night.
Independent controls allow you to change position without disturbing or waking your partner. Some brands, such as Sherborne Head and Foot Adjustable Beds, even come with backlit handsets that allow you to store your two favourite sleeping positions into the memory for future use.
Hopefully, the information above has given you some idea of how an adjustable bed can help stop snoring.
