Other conditions may also be benefited by the patient sleeping with the head elevated, or “head-up” sleeping. For example, one clinical study shows that patients of syncope show significant improvement after sleeping on beds with the head-end raised by 10 degrees for a few months. The SimBalance system may be useful for those users looking for flexible, comfortable pillows with features specifically designed to give the best support for the head, neck, shoulders, and back while elevating the head during sleep. Other diseases or sleep conditions, such as sleep apnea and snoring, have been shown to benefit from head-up sleeping as well.
