Breathing Easier at Night: How the Sleep Spa Helps Asthma Patients
Understanding Asthma and Sleep:
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of
the airways, leading to breathing difficulties, wheezing, coughing, and shortness of
breath. These symptoms often become worse at night due to increased exposure to
allergens, lying flat, and post-nasal drip. Poor sleep not only affects energy levels and
overall well-being but can also worsen asthma symptoms over time.
For asthma patients, achieving high-quality, uninterrupted sleep is crucial for
maintaining lung health, reducing stress, and improving daily performance.
How Sleep Spa Benefit Asthma Patients:
1. Elevated Head Position for Better Breathing
◦ Lying flat can increase airway restriction, making it difficult to breathe.
◦ Sleep Spa’s adjustable elevation allows users to raise their head and
upper body, reducing pressure on the chest and keeping the airways open.
2. Reduction in Post-Nasal Drip and Congestion
◦ Mucus buildup in the throat can trigger coughing and worsen asthma symptoms.
◦ Raising the upper body can prevent mucus from accumulating, making breathing easier.
3. Minimized Acid Reflux and GERD Symptoms
◦ Many asthma patients experience gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can trigger nighttime coughing and wheezing.
◦ Sleep Spa help by keeping the upper body elevated, reducing acid reflux and preventing airway irritation.
4. Airflow and Circulation Improvement
◦ The zero-gravity position improves blood circulation and reduces pressure on the lungs, allowing for easier, more natural breathing.
◦ This position helps relax the respiratory muscles, promoting deeper sleep.
Best Adjustable Bed Positions for Asthma Patients:
1. Slightly Elevated Head & Upper Body (30-45 Degrees)
◦ Helps keep airways open and reduces congestion.
◦ Prevents post-nasal drip from triggering coughing and wheezing.
2. Zero-Gravity Position
◦ Supports the body in a neutral posture that minimizes pressure on the lungs and promotes better airflow.
◦ Improves circulation and reduces stress on the respiratory system.
3. Left-Side Sleeping with Elevation
◦ Beneficial for asthma patients who also experience acid reflux or GERD.
◦ Elevating the head while sleeping on the left side prevents stomach acid from irritating the airways.

overall health. Sleep Spa technology offers a customized sleep experience, providing:
- Better breathing & reduced airway restriction
