Sleeping board with adjustable elevation profile for changing sleeping position to reduce snoring and sleep apnea

Abstract

A sleeping board to be placed on top of a bed, capable of changing the left-right elevation profile of the sleeping surface to help the user change their sleeping position to reduce snoring. The sleeping board includes at least two pivotable board sections arranged side-by-side in a transvers direction, which are independently pivotable relative to each other around one or more longitudinal pivotal axes, and two lifting and lowering mechanisms each attached to one of the at least two pivotable board sections to respectively change their pivotal angles. The lifting and lowering mechanisms may employ a torsion spring and pull string mechanism, a compression spring and pull string mechanism, a jack, a rotation and sliding arm, or a pair of rotation arms.
