Indian Manufacturers Create Mattress To Stop Snoring

The search for a good night’s sleep is by no means restricted to the residents of the United States, as evidenced by a recent announcement from a mattress manufacturer in India. Furniture manufacturer Nilkamal has been making a name for itself recently by attempting to create mattresses that address and resolve specific issues and problems that arise while its customers are asleep. Its most recent entry into the market is a mattress that it claims will offer the bed partners of habitual snorers some relief by muffling the sounds emanating from their partner. 

Is there a way that a mattress can help muffle the sounds of snoring? Is there a way that a mattress can help muffle the sounds of snoring?

It is well known that few people are aware of their own snoring, and it is equally well known that those who share a bed or room with those who snore are the ones who are most aware of the tremendous amounts of noise that the snorer may be making. Nilkamal has been making mattresses for just two years, but they say that their new mattress will have specific ergonomic features that support the body in a way that distributes the weight evenly, thus eliminating or compensating for the physical structures that are contributing to snoring. The company’s executive director, Hilten Parekh, says that they are also making a mattress that eliminates backache, and another that eliminates problems of acid reflux.

“It is all about science and ergonomics. We aim at bringing out different mattresses for different sleeping habits, physical structure and ailments.”

Prior to creating mattresses that address these specific health concerns, Nilkamal has released mattresses that are targeting those who sleep on their sides. Says Parekh, “Our survey has shown that 52 percent of Indians are side sleepers, and sleeping on ordinary mattresses could give them a stiff shoulder in the morning. Our product has different pressure points to eliminate the pain.” He said that the modifications that they have made to the mattresses will eliminate the hand numbness and shoulder pain that many people awaken to. The company’s goal is to establish themselves as a company that creates mattresses that go beyond providing a place to sleep and extend them to a tool that has orthopedic properties.

American mattress manufacturers have not chosen to pursue this particular route at this time. Instead, most of the recent innovations in mattress technology have focused on providing more comfort through the use of memory foam materials that provide support that molds to the body, the use of green materials to minimize both exposure to harmful chemicals and to reduce the mattress’ carbon footprint, and beds that are built with sensors in them to provide biofeedback about the quality of sleep. Though the idea of eliminating snoring may hold appeal, a mattress that muffles the sound of snoring may effectively hide the most notable symptom of obstructive sleep apnea, a serious health condition. If your bed partner snores and you have determined that the cause is not sleep apnea, there are a number of treatments available that involve less expense than purchasing a new bed.
