Clinically-Inspired. Evidence-Backed. Doctor-Informed.
SOMNITO™ isn’t just a comfort upgrade—it’s grounded in real sleep science. Our wedge pillow set is designed to elevate your upper body to reduce sleep apnea symptoms, improve breathing, and help you get restorative, high-quality sleep.
🔬 What Research Says About Sleep Position & Sleep Apnea
✅ Positional Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
A 2021 meta-analysis published in the journal Sleep Medicine Reviews concluded that:
“Patients with positional OSA showed significantly fewer apneas when sleeping at an incline of 30 degrees compared to lying flat.”
➡️ SOMNITO™ uses this same 30–45° elevation to reduce airway obstruction.
✅ Upper Body Elevation Improves Airway Patency
Studies from the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine show that:
“Head and upper body elevation reduces the frequency and severity of apneic events in patients with OSA.”
➡️ SOMNITO™ mimics this elevation in a non-invasive, ergonomic, and home-friendly way.
✅ Wedge Pillows Reduce Snoring
A clinical trial published in Journal of Sleep Research found:
“Subjects who used a wedge pillow reported significantly reduced snoring intensity and frequency after just 7 nights.”
➡️ SOMNITO™ provides an optimized angle and foam density to support this effect long-term.

| Multi-Layer Orthopedic Foam | ❌ Basic | ✅ Yes |
| Proven Support for Apnea & GERD | ❌ Partial | ✅ Strong |
| Designed for Side Sleepers Too | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
👨⚕️ Doctor Approved
“For patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, wedge pillows like SOMNITO™ can significantly reduce the frequency of apneic events—especially when paired with good sleep hygiene.”
— Dr. Rachel Lerman, Sleep Medicine Specialist
