Does The Snore Reduction Pillow Actually Work?

If you are suffering from snoring and looking for a cure then you’ve probably stumbled across a few ads for the snore reduction pillow. I get a lot of email from people asking me if these snoring devices actually work so I tried one of the more popular models out.

How It’s Supposed To Work

The snore pillow is designed to keep proper alignment of your neck and head, keep your jaw in a forward position, and keep your chin elevated from your chest so that your airway is open (slight closing or obstruction of the airway is the major cause of snoring).  When the pillow keeps the airway unobstructed it reduces the vibrations caused by the passage of the air you inhale.

There are different kinds of these stop snoring pillows available.  Some are designed to keep you sleeping on your side (some people snore because they sleep on their back which causes the tounge to fall backwards partially blocking the airway).  The no snore pillow created to keep you on your side is designed to be put behind your back while you sleep on your side.  This is supposed to prevent you from turning over onto your back at night.  I did not try this specific type of pillow out but I was thinking why purchase a new and expensive pillow when you could do this with a regular pillow you already own?

Another type of snore reduction pillow is one that is designed to be placed between your legs so that your spine is properly aligned.  This alignment is supposed to keep your airway properly opened but I’m not sure I see how that would work.  I didn’t try this pillow out and I probably will not in the future.

The pillow I did actually buy and use myself was a pillow that was designed for back sleeping use.  I was a snorer for a long time and my problem was I always slept on my back so I was curious to see if this pillow would work.

The back snore reduction pillow is designed to keep your chin raised, jaw forward, and head and neck aligned perfectly with your spine.  The pillow was made out of synthetic foam which supposedly is better for holding its shape when you sleep on it all night.

Does The Pillow Actually Work?

Yes and no.  My wife told me that I was snoring off and on throughout the night (she’s my partner in crime when i’m doing all of these product tests).  I suppose it’s better than snoring ALL night.  There were some other problems I found as well.  I didn’t think the pillow was at all comfortable.  It felt like a really hard sofa cushion.  I prefer to have a soft pillow and I just could not get used to the hard snore reduction pillow. Also, I toss and turn a lot and I would wake up ever so often because the pillow was designed to keep me from doing so and I would clash with it.

So, the bottom line is that the pillow seemed to work OK but there are other options available that are much more effective (and don’t require you to be uncomfortable).
