How Derila may help with nighttime breathing

Neutral neck alignment: the higher ridge supports the cervical spine to help reduce chin-drop.
Stable head cradle: keeps the head centered so the jaw is less likely to fall back.
Side-sleep friendly: a shoulder-friendly edge helps you keep airways less compressed on your side.

Not medical advice. Derila is a comfort accessory — not a medical device. Always follow your clinician’s recommendations for sleep apnea treatment.

Side sleeping: place the higher contour under the neck; keep the nose aligned with the sternum.
Back sleeping: rest the head in the central cradle; avoid extra pillows that push the chin toward the chest.
Avoid stomach sleeping if possible — it often twists the neck and narrows airways.

Mask comfort: side sleepers can rest the mask edge near the pillow’s shoulder cut to reduce pressure on the seal.
Hose routing: route the hose upward (over the headboard) or to the opposite side to avoid tugging.
Consistent setup: keep the pillow centered and level to maintain the same neck angle each night.

Continue prescribed CPAP or other therapy. Derila does not replace medical treatment for sleep apnea.

Place the higher ridge under your neck (not under the head).
Center the head in the cradle; keep the jaw relaxed, lips lightly closed.
Use a breathable pillowcase; give it a few nights to adapt to your sleeping habits.

Can a pillow fix sleep apnea?

No. A pillow cannot treat sleep apnea. It may help you sleep in positions that support easier breathing. Always follow your doctor’s plan.

Side or back — which is better?

Many people do better on their side. If you sleep on your back, keep the neck neutral and avoid chin-to-chest bending.

Will it help with snoring?

Improved head–neck alignment can reduce airway obstruction for some people, which may lessen snoring. Results vary.
