Rematee Inc. is committed to helping users sleep on their side, reducing instances of snoring and symptoms related to obstructive sleep apnea.
Doctors and patients know that snoring is harmful to ones health and relationships, but many treatments are complex, expensive, uncomfortable and in many cases, unsuccessful.
Rematee Inc. was founded in 2007 by Sean Kerklaan, a Vancouver resident and lifetime sufferer of snoring and sleep apnea.
In 2002, after severe and loud snoring strained Sean’s own relationship, he underwent a sleep study at Montreal's Mount Sinai Hospital where he was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea (157 episode in 8hrs lasting upto 55 seconds). He was given three therapeutic options: purchase a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Machine, buy a dental appliance or have surgery. The first two were prohibitively expensive, while doctors conceded that surgery had low success rates and side effects.
Three years later he attended the University of British Columbia's (UBC) Sleep Disorders Clinic receiving the same diagnosis and the same three recommendations. He decided to try the CPAP and oral appliance, but found them both unbearable.
Further research revealed that some snoring and sleep apnea patients could benefit from a treatment called Positional Therapy which simply meant, he would only have to find a way to remain sleeping on his side.
Starting with a tennis ball, a t-shirt and a roll of duct tape, Sean created the prototype for the Anti-Snore Shirt which has since evolved into a line Rematee's positional sleeping solutions. Rematee's Anti Snore Shirt and Bumper Belt are highly recommended by over 600 international sleep doctors and sleep centers.
The Anti Snore Shirt and Bumper Belt provide enough pressure to prevent the snorer from rolling over, yet they are gentle enough so the wearer doesn't awaken. By stopping snoring before it begins, the snorer (and their partner) enjoy a restful sleep.
This new anti-snoring product re-educates a snorer to sleep on their side. It simply works.
“My own personal quest towards a snore-free sleep and freedom from the health problems sleep deprivation can cause has led me to this point. Snoring has cost me in many ways. Because of this, it is my fervent desire to help others, both snorers and their partners, get past this issue and enjoy a good night's sleep- without paying thousands of dollars on time-consuming, painful therapies with limited success rates.”
