Review on Upgrade Your Side-Sleeping Experience With WoodyKnows 2021 Backpack – Enhanced Zipper And Magic Tape Straps (Small) by Reggie Stewart

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as advertised

I purchased this product to address my chronic obstructive sleep apnea. Since my apnea is much better when I sleep on my side, I wanted to see if this product would prevent me from finding my way onto my back during the night. I’m happy to report that it works as advertised. It’s lightweight, and mostly comfortable with the exception of some bulkiness around the buckles and straps. The only improvement I would recommend to the maker of this product is to replace the plastic buckle and strap system with Velcro straps. Velcro straps would be a much more comfortable solution and likely more cost effective as well. To eliminate the discomfort of the buckles and extra strapping on the shoulder straps, I removed the buckles and had the shoulder straps sewn directly onto where the buckles were. This has certainly voided my warranty, however, the product is much more comfortable with this approach.

Pros
  • Helps with Side-Sleeping - This backpack provides comfortable back support to help you sleep on your side so that the tongue, soft palate, and relax throat tissues will not fall backwards, blocking the respiratory tract.
Cons
  • The backpack may not provide enough ventilation for heat regulation
