What is Hiatal Hernia?
A Hiatal hernia occurs when the upper part of the stomach bulges through the diaphragm into the chest cavity.
How Adjustable Beds Help with a Hiatal Hernia
● Elevates the Upper Body
Raising the head and torso prevents stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus, reducing acid reflux and heartburn, which are common symptoms of hiatal hernia.
● Reduces Pressure on the Stomach
Sleeping at an incline eases pressure on the diaphragm and stomach, helping prevent the hernia from worsening.
● Improves Breathing During Sleep
Elevation can reduce compression on the lungs and make breathing easier, especially for larger hernias.
● Promotes Better Digestion
Gravity helps keep food and acid in the stomach where they belong, reducing the chance of regurgitation or discomfort after eating.
● Comfort Without Extra Pillows
Adjustable beds offer a stable, elevated position without stacking pillows, which can shift during sleep and cause strain on the neck or spine.
