Not likely to help: Like being underwater; unable to breathe. When the co2 in blood gets too high, you blast to surface for a big gasp of air. Osa occurs when airway is blocked during sleep, muscles flaccid/paralyzed. When co2 is too high, brain enters crisis mode, lightens the level of sleep to permit active muscle control and permit a big gasp to replenish o2, then repeat. Though worse on your back, bed wont help.

Not really: There aren't any beds specific to treat sleep apnea that i know of. There are beds that allow you to raise the head portion. That may be somewhat helpful, but the standard of care for sleep apnea is positive pressure respiratory assistance ( cpap, apap). There are also mandibular advancing devices a dentist can make for u. ( ie. The moses appliance.)
