  • Anti-snoring pillows are also known commercialized by different scientists and companies, being able to quote, for example, the pillow launched by the Francebed company of Tokyo, which is based on that the pillow includes means to detect when the user starts to snoring, and in this way emits a series of vibrations and makes said user changes the position of the head, being able to adjust the sensitivity of the pillow on three levels, also incorporating a microphone so that users have no doubt that they really make a loud noise when sleep
  • the pillow recommended is designed for solve the problems (enormous structural complexity, low attractiveness aesthetic, little comfort and little manageability) that present all the pillows existing, aimed at preventing or mitigating the snoring of people and reducing maximum possible apneas and / or hypopneas.
  • the pillow of the invention has the peculiarity that is constituted by a body of particular morphology, which can be a configuration in double wedge, that is to say a central elevated zone and two zones inclined towards the sides, or presenting a single wedge shape, with inclination towards the front, so that in the first case the pillow is intended to sleep laterally, while in the second case it is planned to sleep in supine position.
  • a body of particular morphology which can be a configuration in double wedge, that is to say a central elevated zone and two zones inclined towards the sides, or presenting a single wedge shape, with inclination towards the front, so that in the first case the pillow is intended to sleep laterally, while in the second case it is planned to sleep in supine position.
  • This is preferably made with three-dimensional textile materials two-sided base joined by polyester monofilaments woven in three dimensions or in a foam material, be it polyurethane, latex, viscolastic or similar, which gives shape and body to the pillow can be attached to a preferably three-dimensional textile material.
  • Such structures provide excellent air and air permeability, humidity, favoring the supply of oxygen, in addition to providing ventilation, comfort, and easy washing and hygiene of the compound. This greater comfort and convenience, causes a considerable decrease in movement of the head during the sleep period. The position of the head is maintained and the optimal pharynx and neck angles are preserved, eliminating snoring and apneas.
  • the pillow with two side parts inclined towards one side and the other side of the central part presents the peculiarity that the inclination is between 12o-20o degrees from the lateral edge towards the central or intermediate area of the pillow, being able consider a wedge constitution between 30 and 36 cm in length to be optimal, and from 12 to 15cm. of height in its highest part, 3-6 cm in height in its most low or lateral, and between 15o-20o of inclination of the superior plane with respect to the bottom or horizontal plane, the optimum width being considered as the between 30 and 50 cm.
  • the wedge-shaped pillow As for the wedge-shaped pillow to use in supine position, it will present an inclination of its surface approximate upper of between 20o-30o, a height of its back part of 15-20 cm and its front part or front edge of 3-7cm, while its width It can be between 50-150 cm. and the pillow length of approximately between 25-50 cm.
  • the use of the pillow with two parts lateral that is, to sleep in a lateral position, prevents the tongue from user moves to the back of the throat, preventing the passage of the air through the respiratory tract and causing, by the inclination to one and the other side of the pillow, that the tongue relaxes and does not obstruct the passage of the air and get, as in the previous configuration, that the pharynx have the proper inclination so that the flow of air is fluid and eliminate episodes of apneas.
  • the pillow of the invention it is possible to avoid or minimize the snoring processes of a user, either sleep supine or laterally, using in each case the Suitable pillow prototype of the two referred.
  • Figure 1. Shows a representation corresponding to a top perspective of the pillow with two parts inclined sides, made according to the object of the invention.
  • Figure 2. Shows a perspective view top of the pillow with a tilt on one side only, for use by users who sleep in a supine position.
  • Figure 3. Shows a side perspective view of one of the two parts that are defined symmetrically on the pillow of the figure 1, and that corresponds to an optimal prototype of pillow.
  • Figure 4 shows a side perspective view of the pillow corresponding to figure 2, also with proportions that They can be considered as optimal in the constitution of the pillow.
  • Figure 5 Shows the apnea index / hour (AHI), represented on the ordinate axis, which suffer 15 patients using the conventional pillow (A) and the pillow with inclination only to one side (B)
  • Figure 6 Shows the number of snoring, represented on the ordinate axis, which suffer 15 patients using the conventional pillow (A) and the pillow with inclination only to one side (B)
  • Figure 7 - Shows the snoring time (min), represented on the ordinate axis, which suffer 15 patients using the conventional pillow (A) and the pillow with inclination only to one side (B)
  • Figure 8 Shows snoring time (%), represented on the ordinate axis, which suffer 15 patients using the conventional pillow (A) and the pillow with inclination only to one side (B)
  • Figure 9 Shows the average intensity of snoring, represented on the ordinate axis, suffering 15 patients using the conventional pillow (A) and the pillow with inclination only to the side (B).
  • Figure 10 - Shows the maximum intensity of snoring, represented on the ordinate axis, suffering 15 patients using the conventional pillow (A) and the pillow with inclination only to the side (B).
  • the pillow of the invention is constituted by a body that can have two side parts (1), as shown in figure 1, or a form of wedge (2), as shown in figure 2, so that in any case the pillow is constituted by three-dimensional textile materials and / or a foam material bonded to a three-dimensional textile material, and where each lateral part (1) of the pillow shown in figure 1 and whose prototype corresponds to figure 3, presents an angle of inclination of the surface upper (3) of between 12o-20o, angle that is the one referenced with (4) in said 3, the prototype of the pillow preferably being approximately between 30-36 cm in length, which corresponds to the height (5), between 12-15 cm of height of the trailing edge or maximum height, and that corresponds to the reference or elevation (6), and a height between 3-6 cm that corresponds to the edge previous or minimum height (7) of the pillow, corresponding to each one of the two symmetrical and inclined parts that are determined in the pillow of Figure 1, wherein the two equal parts are provided to allow to sleep laterally to the user
  • the pillow (2) wedge-shaped, materialized in a prototype in figure 4 presents the peculiarity that the angle of inclination of the upper surface (8) is between 20o-30o, corresponding to the reference (9), so that that pillow (2) in wedge shape will have an optimum height at the back higher between 15-20 cm corresponding to the reference (10), while on its edge before or below the height or height of the pillow is between 3 - 7 cm, which corresponds to the reference (11).
  • This pillow will preferably have a length of approximately between 25-50 cm according to the reference (12), and a width of approximately between 50 and 150 cm according to reference (13).
  • the dimensions of the pillow in any of its versions, as well as the angle of inclination of the surface superior or inclined, may vary above or below the heights referred to, since the commented ones have been given as optimal levels according to the experiments performed.
  • comfort data of the prototype of figure 2 by feedback from the patient (Morning questionnaire subjective to the patient about their sleep quality).
  • Objective data of sleep quality are also analyzed through the analysis of the results or the polysomnographic study.
