1. Why Do Allergies Often Seem Worse at Night?
At night, several factors promote allergic symptoms:
- prolonged lying down
- secretion buildup
- slower breathing
- increased sensitivity of the airways
Result: blocked nose, irritated throat, less fluid breathing.
2. What Is the Connection Between Nighttime Allergies and Reflux?
Allergies can cause:
- more frequent mouth breathing
- drier and more sensitive throat
- increased mucosal irritation
In this context, even mild reflux can be felt more intensely.
3. How Can Reflux Worsen Allergic Symptoms?
Nighttime reflux can:
- irritate an already sensitive throat
- trigger a reflex cough
- exacerbate the feeling of a blocked nose
- disrupt breathing
The two phenomena can thus reinforce each other during the night.
4. Why Does a Flat Position Worsen This Cycle?
Sleeping completely flat can:
- promote acid reflux
- slow secretion drainage
- increase throat irritation
- make breathing more difficult
Posture then becomes a common factor in both discomforts.
5. How Does a Slightly Elevated Position Help in This Case?
With the upper body slightly elevated:
- secretions drain more naturally
- the throat is less exposed to irritation
- acid reflux is limited
- breathing becomes more comfortable
Posture helps reduce the combined intensity of symptoms.
6. Why Is This Approach Useful Even for Seasonal Allergies?
Even when allergies last only a few weeks:
- sleep can be significantly disrupted
- digestive discomfort may occur more easily
- fatigue accumulates quickly
An adapted posture can improve comfort without changing the whole routine.
7. How Does CosyLift Help with Better Sleep in Case of Allergies and Reflux?
CosyLift allows for slightly elevating the top of the mattress in a stable way, which:
- supports a more comfortable respiratory posture
- limits the impact of nighttime reflux
- avoids stacking pillows
- maintains a consistent incline
- promotes more restful sleep
It is a simple solution for sensitive periods.
