The influence of body position during sleep
on the intensity of the obstructive sleep apnoea has been well-known for a
long time. In the literature it is reported that the avoidance
of the supine position when suffering from obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome, can be strongly reduced in many cases.
We are currently offering the two positional sleep therapeutic options as depicted above.
The SomnoShirt from Tomed is a comfortable cotton T-shirt with a cylindrical positional tube in its back part. It trains snorers and patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea in an easy and cost effective way to sleep on their sides.
The SomnoCushion is worn at night like a backpack and prevents the supine position during sleep. Individual adjustment possibilities of the air pressure of the back cushion and the belts' tension provide high user comfort.
We strongly recommend not to buy shirts which fit to loosely. SomnoShirt is currently available sized S, M, L, XL, XXL and XXXL.
Both positional sleep devices can be used beneficially in combination with other treatments for snoring or obstructive sleep apnea such as mandibular advancement devices, nCPAP and BiPAP.
