Product Description

Get Sleep Back On Your Side.

Join our fitness movement to make sleep a conscious part of healthy living. Our company grew out of the realization that changing the positions people sleep in can improve the way they feel all day. If you do something for eight hours a night, it’s going to have an impact. The iSleepFit Sleep Positioner Belt helps you maintain your desired sleep position, optimizing the time you sleep and improving the way you feel. The patent-pending iSleepFit balls act as bumpers that will stop you from rolling over by causing gentle discomfort that guides you back to your desired position. Poor sleeping habits can lead to all sorts of problems, from back pain to snoring to numbness and even wrinkles, but how do you change what you do when you’re not even awake? We designed our first product to help retrain your body to stay in your desired sleep position.

A natural solution for Sleep Position Therapy!Users can wear it anywhere between the chest and hips, and it is friendly for men and women.One size fits most; the belt is adjustable up to 52", and balls are removable to use on a personal belt.Buckle closure versus Velcro to prevent subconscious removal - no need to worry about Velcro damaging your sheets.Position balls to the sides for back sleeping; the doctor-recommended position for neck, shoulder, and back pain also prevents face and chest wrinkles.Position balls to the back for side sleeping; doctor-recommended position for pregnancy and to reduce acid reflux, positional-related snoring, and sleep-disordered breathing.

Get Started.

For recommended sleep position and ball placement, refer to our video and images.

1. Open the buckle and place the 52" belt around your mid-section between your chest and hips. The iSleepFit Posture Belt is one-size-fits-most. Users requiring a smaller size can cut the belt to fit; heating the end will prevent fraying. Balls are removable for larger users to use on a personal belt.

2. For SIDE sleeping, secure the buckle in front of your stomach and loosen each ball by slightly turning the top half in the opposite direction of the bottom half. Slide two of the balls to your back, positioning them to the sides of your spinal column to prevent discomfort while rolling, and close the ball in the opposite direction. Leave the third ball next to the buckle to prevent stomach sleeping, or move it to the back to avoid obstruction when switching sides.

3. For BACK sleeping, secure the buckle in front of your stomach and loosen each ball by slightly turning the top half in the opposite direction of the bottom half. Slide one ball to your right side and close the ball in the opposite direction. Move the next ball to your left side and tighten. Leave the third ball next to the buckle to prevent stomach sleeping.

4. Your iSleepFit Positioner Belt is now ready to train you to sleep in your ideal position. Our new buckle design prevents the balls from sliding off the belt. However, if a ball comes apart, realign the belt in the opening, snap the two halves back together, and twist to secure.

How It Works.

The one-size-fits-most 52” adjustable belt goes around your midsection, anywhere from chest to hips. Try different locations depending on your body type. Tighten the belt to prevent movement. The elastic belt material will allow for breathing comfort while keeping the belt in place. The buckle and balls are located on your non-sleeping sides to act as bumpers by causing slight discomfort to guide you back to your optimal sleep position. Ball placement can be adjusted by simply turning the top half of the ball in the opposite direction of the bottom half, sliding the ball along the belt, then turning the ball back into the secured position. To prevent pain, we recommend not positioning the ball on your spine but off to both sides. Use the iSleepFit Posture Belt consistently for 30 days. Once you’ve created a new habit, try sleeping without the belt. If your poor habit returns, try using the belt again for 30 days. Most habits only take 30-60 days to develop. Watch the video for additional instructions.

What's the Healthiest Sleep Position?

It depends on your health issues. The iSleepFit Posture Belt is the only adult sleep positioner that trains you to sleep in any position. Research shows that for those with sleep-positional breathing issues, SIDE SLEEPING can eliminate snoring by keeping the airway open. BACK SLEEPING is recommended for those suffering from pain and even wrinkles by helping keep your body aligned and letting gravity help. While pregnant, LEFT-SIDE SLEEPING aids in the delivery of blood and nutrients to the baby’s placenta. It also eases the symptoms of GERD by keeping the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) above your gastric contents, making it more challenging for reflux to occur. Although STOMACH SLEEPING can wreak havoc on most, it may help those with a herniated disk. Ask your doctor about the ideal sleep position for your health needs. Try each position for. a few nights to discover which provides the best results. Remember, it might take time to notice benefits and break bad sleep habits. To learn more, read the pros and cons of each sleep position below.

Title: Works as promised!! I sleep off my back. My Sleep apnea improves dramatically.
Review: I have had sleep apnea for a long time. It is the mixed type, and when I sleep on my back, all bets are off, and my AHI numbers are crazy high. I routinely use a Bilevel PAP machine for several years and have always known that to sleep on my back, I routinely go into full apnea for 45+ seconds accented by a beastly gasp of air hunger. Additionally, throughout the night, when on my back, I develop clear cycles of respiratory insufficiency, slowing and shallowing of the respiration patterns, until I stop breathing entirely, and the pattern repeats. The patterns are hypopnea, events, and apnea, and are easily trackable w/ computer programs.This is my story- Yours’s may be different. Sleeping should be a joy, a recharge, and a relaxing process. I do love restful sleeping!!! I sleep well in all positions. You might need positioning for various reasons. Yes, it gets complicated, and change is difficult. Yes, breaking habits may initially be painful. It is indeed a “sleep thing” here, not necessarily a “Sleep Apnea” thing.This sleep position aid is quite nifty, well designed, wears well, and quite simple. Easy and effective to set-up, use as a dependable, responsible training aid. Once adjusted, I pull it over my head, position it, and I fall asleep. A safety pin will stabilize the end spheres, but there is only minimal shifting of the balls. The sleeping unconscious brain does not like sleeping on the positioned balls because they are bluntly uncomfortable. Over time in weeks, I move the band up/down through thorax/abdomen, so as not to get used to the placement of the spheres in the sleeping mode, then, as needed, when sleeping, I roll to another side. Boom/Bam, no problem. Situation corrected.I have empirical data to show the effectiveness of this sleep positioning aid. I have attached a selective C&P of my OSCAR (sleep apnea application) profile for AHIs & total time in apnea/night. It shows: The noted AHI events alone, by using this sleep aid has reduced my signs/symptoms from “severe sleep apnea”, to “BELOW mild sleep apnea” (severe is > 30AHI/hr, mild is >5, <15 AHI/hr).The data captured also has data of snoring periods, and these S/S were also quelled by using iSleepFit. You undiagnosed folks out there with OSA- this really is a solution in many cases, such as mine. For many thousands of dollars, for diagnosis, and the DME, disposable headgear- you think “some organizations” would come up w/ alternate, less expensive solutions to sleep apnea then expensive devices. In my case, I will use both, the iSleepFit, & the BiPAP machine, knowing a lot of sleep apnea/snoring incidence are indeed position related. For all “YOU” out there- this might be all you need for a relaxing and routine night of restful sleeping. You even might get some sincere “thank you’s” from close sleeping bed partners. Go for it!!!!Since I started iSleepFit on 7/28, and my last download was 8/12 (16 days of iSleepFit), I included the graph to include 16 days prior to treatment 7/12. Thus the pic is a “snip” of the 2 graphs, as described above, for this particular time period.The data clearly shows without expanded explanation just how effective this item is. Reviewer: Donna P

Title: Wanted it to work but belt slides around waist while sleeping
Review: I have very mild sleep apnea -- never occurs if I sleep on my back so I was looking for a device that would be simpler to use (vs sewing pockets onto pajamas to hold tennis ball). I really wanted it to work and had purchased several items to trial. It is really easy to move the balls along the belt and three is good number. But, the belt material is rather stiff and uncomfortable against bare skin. I then wore it 5 nights cinched comfortably snug at my waist over nightgown/long tee and found that whenever I did my usual shimmy roll to move from one side to other (I have a bed partner hence the shimmy type roll -- not sure how to describe it) but the belt would also shift so that by middle of night balls were shifted onto my side and I was able to freely sleep on my back. I have on my own found one of those really slim runners belts that has pocket for phone to be more comfortable, stays put, easily holds two tennis balls without sewing and easier to wash. Again I really wanted this to work and perhaps it might work and stay put for larger waisted people (I am 5'3", 160#) of for people who have space on mattress to roll without doing that shimmy scouch over thing a lot of us do when we change sides.

Title: Doesnt work as advertised.
Review: Did not work for me. I need to sleep on my side to control snoring. Product did not keep me from rolling onto my back - so no help with snoring. Belt tends to shift so does not keep the balls in position.

Title: This is the easiest and most comfortable of the sleep position devices I tried
Review: Very easy to use. I took off the balls except one. I just wish it were possible to put softer balls on it, since with the hard balls on the belt, the punishment for rolling onto one's back is rather harsh.

Title: Works better than CPAP for me...
Review: I'm a sleep apnea sufferer but I'm on the low end of the scale (literally considered borderline). This means the conventional CPAP machine is not effective as treatment for me (I've tried several different models over the past 15 years since my diagnosis). My sleep doctor mentioned using something like this as an alternative to keep off my back. Mostly I relied on the tennis ball t-shirt method until I recently switched to a soft bed where one ball didn't cut it. I began looking for alternatives and actually made the mistake of buying one of those inflatable backpacks first (I highly recommend you don't). This was the second device I found after unsuccessfully trying a fanny pack stuffed with tennis balls. So far, this design has been great and I think I'm sleeping on my sides mostly, only a little on my stomach. I am in the process of ordering a second in-home test to see if it is working so I'll update this review if it isn't.The only issue(s) I have are that the balls do move a little too easy and the fancy foam mattress (that my wife just had to have) is soft enough that I can roll on to them occasionally. However, given that they sink into the bed a little it isn't the painful situation that other reviewers have described. It is just enough to wake me up to roll over. This circumstance also seems to be happening less as I continue to develop habits of side sleeping by using this device. That all means this device works and does what it claims to do.

Title: Interesting Product
Review: So, I think it's working? Hard to tell obviously when asleep but I'm waking up in the morning with less signs that I slept on my back. I wanted to try this instead of other products that are inflatable as I saw reviews saying they stop holding air, etc.The balls are hard and not comfortable - obviously that's the goal - and make sure you find the spots were you can really feel it. At first I was wearing it too low and wasn't having success. Then, I moved it higher up on my body and noticed a difference.I haven't had any problems with the balls coming apart or sliding in the middle of the night, just make sure they are secured when you go to bed.The strap is fine, I haven't had any issues with being uncomfortable - everyone is different of course - but for me, it doesn't bother me!
