Rematee Anti Snore Bumper Belt

I'm not overweight and don't have any of the normal risk factors for sleep apnea, but when I began to wonder if I was sleeping well, I signed up for a sleep study and bingo! Sleep apnea is my problem. I believe it started when I injured my lumbar disks many years ago, and although a side sleeper all my life, was advised to train myself to sleep on my back with pillows under me. When I began doing this, at first I used to wake myself up every so often with a little "snort." I didn't know at the time that this was a sign of apnea - my throat closing up. And I guess I got used to it so it didn't wake me up any more after a while, but it was happening just the same, as the sleep study proved. My doctors recommended a CPAP machine, but when discussing it with them, I asked about the one hour during the study when I had slept on my side, during which there were no apnea events. Apparently it's very rare for sleep apnea to occur during side sleeping. Could I try sleeping on my side to see if that cures my apnea, I asked. Yes, "positional therapy" was an option, they told me in doctor-speak, LOL. So I've been using this "bumper belt" for a couple of weeks now to make sure I do sleep on my side. I quickly became used to it. I really like the feeling of security when I go to bed that I won't sleep on my back. If you want to sleep on your side, I highly recommend this product because it's comfortable, well-designed and probably a heck of a lot more pleasant than a CPAP machine. I have to go back for another sleep study and I'll wear this when I'm "studied" to see if it has helped the apnea - will report back then.

My mom used this for awhile to keep from sleeping on her back. It is not the most comfortable but I guess it works if you don't want to sleep on your back. She had a hard time figuring out how to use it

I returned this. I'm not sure if it was right for me. The concept is good but it just wasn't sturdy enough to keep me from rolling onto my back. seems well built but just didn't work for me.

It keeps me off my back, which is why I bought it, but the bumpers come too far forward when on my side, making me almost a tummy sleeper...I don't like that aspect.

Unfortunately I had to return the item due to its obnoxious odor and because it caused extreme discomfort to my neck, shoulders and arms. Will have to continue searching for an effective method to sleep comfortably on my side.

I’m sleeping through the night for the first time I can remember. I highly recommend this product.

This helps a LOT! Thank you!

Great help to stay off my back when sleeping. Don't breathe well on my back. Happy with it! Great for snorers too!
