Short Description
One piece carved foam cushion, designed to support a person in side lying during sleep. The cushion is placed between the thighs so the large bumper at the back of the cushion inhibits the tendency to roll over. The cushion is ergonomically angled, encourages the person to sleep in the preferred side lying position, and may relieve snoring.
Additional Info
More Details
* Fits snugly between the thighs, ensuring the natural curvature of the spine is maintained by minimising twisting of the back during sleep
* Keeps the back aligned during sleep, allowing total muscle relaxation and more restful sleep
* Encourages quality sleep in the preferred side sleeping position
* Helps alleviate light snoring (side sleeping allows soft tissues and the tongue to stay relatively clear of the airway). Enhances breathing
* Designed to discourage both back and stomach sleeping. Smaller front 'bumper' discourages tummy sleeping, while the larger rear 'bumper' inhibits tendency to roll over onto back
* Thighs gently 'hug' Side-Sleeper and help prevent the pillow from slipping away during the night
* Ergonomically angled at 29 degrees to follow the natural form of the legs in the side sleeping position
* To suit smaller physiques, there may be a need to shave the foam to suit the individual (particularly the larger 'bumper'). This can be achieved by using an electric carving knife
* It may take time to adjust to using Side-Sleeper cushion
Structure
* Carved from premium quality foam
Cover
* Fits most pillow slips
* Put small 'bumper' in slip first and then carefully work large 'bumper' in
* Can be used without slip but foam may wear
Cleaning
* Do not wash
* Dab clean with a 5% mild detergent solution
* Dry flat in warm location. If very wet it may take days to dry completely
* Do not machine wash. Do not tumble dry
Note
* Foam Discolouration: any discolouration of foam through exposure to natural light will not affect performance or foam longevity
