The Risks of Ordinary Pillows...
|
Ordinary pillows can obstruct the mouth and nostrils and prevent air reaching the lungs. Even a few minutes of oxygen starvation can cause irreversible brain damage and possibly brain death (‘persistent vegetative state’). The risk is much greater during a seizure because the person affected will not be conscious enough to avoid the danger. The risk is increased if they are taking medicines which depress breathing.
Sleep-Safe pillows will not mould around the face to obstruct the mouth and nose, and will not aggravate breathing problems that are already present.
Sleep-Safe pillows are designed specifically to help prevent suffocation.
