For those who suffer from sleep apnea, the very best sleeping position is on the back, ideally with the head elevated on a pillow for sleep apnea. Sleeping on the stomach increases the risk of apnea and puts more pressure on the neck and spine too, resulting in more discomfort. Sleeping on the side can also be a good option for those with sleep apnea, but results can vary from one person to the next and there are a lot of different factors at play. Some sleep apnea pillows are only really good for back sleepers, but others like the MARNUR Cervical Pillow can work for anyone.
