Well, I got to report on these, in case anyone was curious. We just received those bed risers TODAY. I put them on lowest setting and just under the casters under the head of the bed. Hubby's been asleep now for 2 hours and has not snored one iota.
Now granted, maybe this is too early of a call to report anything major - but
NO SNORING?
whoa
That's worth at least $20, doncha think?
I am impressed. And uh, some of the stuff that it's reported to help are:
GERD
sinus drainage
circulation
kidney function
Well, YOU read it! I'll close with the exact ones I ordered...and then I am going to nighty night land.
HoW, I'm so glad you posted this! My husband snores bad, and I have to go pee all night. The article says this helps both of those conditions. I can't wait to try it. My husband and I already had a bed that was propped up on these block-like things, so this morning I just took the bottom ones out, and it seems pretty stable. We'll see I guess how stable it really is. We're going to try it out tonight. Thanks again! I can't wait to hear your results with this.
He didn't get up NEAR as often as he usually does! He didn't squirm or cry out in pain (at least for the first 2 1/2 hours I was awake and on the computer) AT ALL.
At least he never remembers this; he always was pretty audible in his sleep. He used to talk AND walk in his sleep, I could tell some pretty funny stories....
So far so good - time will tell - it's a VERY good sign!!!
Not at all - remember, we put the bed on the slightest angle first. One of the articles said to do this gradually, so the risers (I purchased) are on the lowest angle - we'll adjust the bed again in a couple months (cuz hubby has spinal issues and the article said angling should be done gradually over the months with degenerative spinal issues) and then once more in another couple months. I flopped around on the bed first to make sure the bed would be stable.
We have wooden floors. I don't know how well the risers would work on carpeted floors.
HoW, last night my husband and I slept on the slanted bed, and he snored much less and much quieter (his snoring was getting so bad it didn't even sound human sometimes). I also went to the bathroom much less. I'm excited to see what longterm effects come from sleeping like this. I'm so happy to learn about this! It amazes me how much I have learned just from this one forum. Thanks once again! I hope you and your husbands second night on the slanted bed was good!
I'm giving this a try, and have just ordered the risers. I have such a problem with restroom runs at night, periodic acid reflux, edema, and I do have mild UARS (upper airway resistance syndrome) that does not respond to CPAP and there is not actual physical blockage. I can literally feel my throat closing when I relax enough to fall asleep—just not enough to fully close the airways like with apnea. This is only relieved by propping myself up, so I KNOW this will help. Propping myself up doesn't not do me good in the long run, though because it only raises my head or upper torso, which twists the spine too much, giving me back, neck, hip, and knee pain. I bet it's all contributing to my sleep problems. Once upon a time I tried propping the bed at an incline using blocks I found in the garage, but I never could get the bed to stay in place with my homemade risers. I think these risers will stay in place.
