Hi Tracy,

I too have snoring problems (borderline apnoea) which made my work on this site harder because some of the beds I personally slept on did cause my snoring to worsen. So, it’s safe to say that long term sleep on an inflatable has something do with your snoring problems coming back.

Now, I’m not a doctor but my personal take is that it much have something to do with the fact that a vast majority are not as supportive as a regular bed. I don’t know your circumstances, but if it has to be an airbed, go with an extra firm & supportive one – like the second one on this list of heavy duty models.

It’s temporary but the last month I’ve been having the worst sleep bc of nightmares. I used a CPAP machine a couple of years ago but lost a considerable amount of weight and didn’t seem to need it anymore. I started using it again, so I’m wondering could it be bc of long-term use of an air mattress?

Hi Jerry,

That’s a whole separate topic because the medical models are designed specifically for that – prolonged use. We have a separate guide on medical (both alternating pressure and low-air loss airbeds) – you can see it here.

I hope that helps
