87 percent of the population are side sleepers. Until now, no one has addressed proper sleep posture. The Sleep Posture Pillow will revolutionize sleeping posture.

About the Sleep Posture Pillow

The sleep posture pillow is shaped like the letter nine. This unique shape is designed to prevent you from sleeping on your back and stomach. Sleeping on your back can cause low back pain with a lack of support for the curve in your spine. Back sleeping can also aggravate snoring and sleep apnea. Sleeping on your stomach also puts a strain on your back as well as your jaw and neck.

It's more natural to sleep on your side, but how can you accomplish this? This is where the Sleep Posture Pillow comes in, discouraging back and stomach sleeping and giving the body the support needed for a restful night's sleep.

About Dr. Cole

Dr. Larry Cole, the inventor of the Sleep Posture Pillow, is a chiropractor who has been treating patients with back and neck problems for 30 years. He used this experience to design this revolutionary pillow after realizing the importance of sleep posture during sleep. After several years spent perfecting the design and the creation of numerous prototypes, he came up with the current design and deemed it ready for patient use.

Letters

Benefits and Final Words

Quoting Doctor Cole, benefits include:

  • Beyond support for your head, neck and spine, the pillow prevents rolling on your back or stomach-- twisting your spine in two directions at once.
  • An ear space prevents painful “ear folding”.
  • Side sleeping helps reduce snoring that can be a of sleep apnea.
  • Reduce bed soreness combining this pillow with a regular bed pillow.
  • Reduce stress on your heart by sleeping on your right side or an upright position.
  • Sleep sitting up when you are taking a long car trip with the Sleep Posture™ Pillow supporting your neck and shoulders.

    Dr. Cole adds: The Sleep Posture™ Pillow is not designed to treat the conditions listed above, but it can reduce the risk involved.

    I received a Sleep Posture Pillow a few weeks ago. I have used it as have several relatives and friends. Some people deemed it excellent. For some, it took a bit longer to get used to it. A few couldn't use it at all. so, it may not be for everyone, but then, what is?

    If you suffer from neck or back pain, snoring or sleep apnea, give the Sleep Posture Pillow a try. There's a 30 night money-back guarantee.

    The pillow is washable and comes with two pillowcases.
