it depends on how bad your apnea is. If you slept sideways or straight up, gravity wouldn't be pulling your flesh in the right direction to cover your throat.

it depends on how bad your apnea is. If you slept sideways or straight up, gravity wouldn't be pulling your flesh in the right direction to cover your throat. Sleeping at a reclining angle doesn't completely eliminate the gravity but it lessens the gravitational pull. Depending on each individual case, the decrease in gravitational pull could be enough to stop the flesh from blocking your airway. You should just sleep on some lazy boy couch or something to see if it works before buying.
