The somnipax positional therapy shirt is designed and approved for use in cases of positional obstructive sleep apnoea (POSA) and positional simple snoring (tongue-base snoring). Medical device class I.
The shirt rates highly for being easy to use and offering a simple mode of action. In the field of sleep medicine it has proven to be an effective, long-lasting, and inexpensive mode of therapy, in particular for reducing the CPAP therapy pressure of position-dependent sleep apnea patients. The shirt is recommended by sleep labs and ENT practices – not least because it offers exceptional comfort.

Our tip for severe sleep apnoea – use your positional therapy shirt in addition to CPAP therapy
Patients with severe sleep apnoea usually need high ventilation pressures during ventilation with CPAP. This can be very uncomfortable for sleep. Pressure marks on the face, painfully dry mucous membranes, and increased noise from the airflow are frequent outcomes. But it doesn’t have to be this way!
You see, when you wear a positional sleep therapy shirt alongside your CPAP therapy, the soft tissue at the base of the tongue can no longer press with full weight on your upper airways.
Reduced pressure from the soft tissues means less air pressure is required from your CPAP machine to reopen collapsed airways.
Snoring noises and interruptions in breathing at night (‘apnoeas’) both occur when the soft issues in the upper airways relax and slacken during sleep.
For many of us, this relaxation causes the tongue to fall backwards into the throat (when lying on your back), which narrows or even temporarily closes off the airways. Vibrations and airflow turbulence then occur at this narrowed point. This is what causes the sound of snoring. If the airways become completely closed off, interruptions in breathing occur. A positional therapy aid is very effective in preventing the tongue from falling back into the throat.
How does it do that? The positional insert in the back of the shirt enables you to sleep on your side or front. Now when the tongue muscle relaxes during sleep, it does not fall backwards into the throat but rests on the inside of the cheek. As a result your airways remain open. You can sleep free from unwelcome snoring and dangerous interruptions in your breathing.
