A full night of sound sleep is part of a healthy lifestyle, and it can be crucial to someone who is older and requires therapeutic care. Good sleep can aid in mobility and minimize pain, especially for those with back problems. For someone who spends extended periods in bed, comfort is essential.
Pillow wedges and bed wedges, often made of polyurethane foam, can help dramatically. Foam pillows come in almost any configuration one can imagine, including elevator pillows, aligning pillows, face-down pillows, lower body pillows, wedges of all kinds and bed lining pillows that gently slope at various angles. Some make it easier to relax and watch television or read. Others are designed to promote a sound night of sleep.
There are also pillows designed to increase safety at night, such as side-rail pillows that make it all but impossible to fall out of bed or to come in hard contact with a bed rail.
Therapeutic bed pillows can help patients with breathing problems, poor circulation, reflux, snoring, swelling, back pain, neck pain and other common disorders. A large selection of pillows makes it possible to find exactly the right configuration to give your loved one a full and comfortable night of sound sleep.
The pillows are also affordable, allowing you to experiment with different models and designs to find the most relaxing configuration. Most are made of foam and come with a washable cloth cover, often in cotton or fleece. Different sizes and colors are also available.
Pillow wedges, bed wedges and other therapeutic foam pillows can increase comfort, eliminate aches, promote mobility and be truly helpful to those who are prone to restless or uncomfortable sleep and who wake often during the night.
