Implication

Randomized trial reveals a positional pillow does not reduce supine sleep in late pregnancy, highlighting the need for alternative intervention devices.

Key Points

Supine sleep duration did not decrease with a specialized position modification device compared to standard pillows among individuals in their third trimester.
Participants spent 16.0% of sleep time supine with the intervention versus 13.0% with control pillows, showing no reduction in sleep disordered breathing.
Randomised cross-over study assessed 35 participants over 469 nights, indicating that alternative devices are needed to lower the apnoea hypopnoea index.
