Sleep Apnea, & Snoring

Sleep apnea affects ~5% of Canadian adults. Snoring alone affects up to 40% of men over 40. A mattress retailer can't diagnose or treat apnea — that's a sleep clinic's job. But the right pillow, mattress, and adjustable bed can complement medical treatment. Here's the honest guide.

Questions, Answered

The sleep apnea questions we actually get asked.

If your question isn't here, call our Brantford showroom at 519-770-0001 or stop in at 441 1/2 West Street. A real person answers the phone.

Can a pillow help with snoring?
Yes, modestly. A cervical pillow that keeps the neck in neutral alignment can reduce airway collapse. Side-sleeping (with a body pillow to maintain position) reduces snoring more than back-sleeping for most people. Not a substitute for medical evaluation.
Do adjustable beds help with sleep apnea?
Head elevation reduces airway collapse for many OSA patients. Souza et al. (2017, Sleep & Breathing) found 7.5-degree head-of-bed elevation reduced apnea events by ~31% in OSA patients without disrupting sleep architecture. Not a replacement for CPAP.
Will a new mattress stop my snoring?
Unlikely on its own. Snoring is mostly about airway anatomy and sleep position. A new mattress that supports better side-sleeping may help indirectly. The Canadian Sleep Society (css-scs.ca) has snoring evaluation guidance.
How do I know if I have sleep apnea?
Common signs: loud snoring with pauses, gasping awake, morning headaches, excessive daytime sleepiness despite a full night's sleep, partner reports of stopped breathing. See your family doctor for a referral to a sleep clinic — diagnosis requires an overnight sleep study.
Can I use a CPAP with a memory foam mattress?
Yes. Memory foam works fine with CPAP setups. Make sure the bed height accommodates the CPAP unit on the nightstand and the hose has room. Some CPAP users prefer adjustable beds for head elevation in combination with the CPAP.
