How to Elevate Pillows for Breathing Problems
- 1). Place the extra pillow on top of the pillow normally used.
- 2). Adjust the pillows so they will support the head approximately 3 to 4 inches higher than the mattress.
- 3). Lay on back, sleep as normal. The elevated pillow will "make breathing easier and encourage your tongue and jaw to move forward," states www.helpguide.org.
