Does a Snoring Pillow Really Work?
Maybe by now you’ve heard of or have started to investigate the so-called snoring pillow. It may surprise you that there are many different models and types to choose from, and some retail for a very affordable amount while others can be priced at hundreds and hundreds of dollars.
Does a so-called snoring pillow actually work? What do the users say? And if they do work, just how and why? Why can’t a regular pillow do the same job? And what is the real difference between the models, especially those that are priced so high? Are they worth that cost or is it just a matter of a name brand? This article will attempt to answer a few of those questions.
A snoring pillow generally differs from a normal bed pillow in two ways. One, a snoring pillow is usually made of dense foam rather than feathers or down. This foam makes them much stiffer and able to hold their shape better. Anyone that has spent time fluffing up pillows in the middle of the night can immediately recognize the advantage of such a snoring pillow, as it’s designed with foam specifically to better cradle your head and neck, and to keep its shape throughout the night.
The second way that a snoring pillow is different is that it usually has a cup or cutout feature for your neck to rest in. This helps to keep your head tilted up more than a normal pillow, and when your head is tilted up, your mouth is less likely to fall open and you’re less likely to snore. While you can try to use a regular pillow to help cradle and support your neck, it probably won’t work as it’s eventually going to start to sag and lose its shape. This is why a regular pillow usually can’t do the same job as a snoring pillow.
When it comes to the differences between models, sometimes it is simply a matter of a brand name rather than anything else. Face it, a neck massager you get at Sharper Image is going to cost you more than one you get at the local pharmacy, even though they usually do the exact same job. Some snoring pillows have little difference between the brand names and the others that are more affordable.
If none of these basic snoring aids seem to work for you, it may be time to talk to your doctor. There are prescription medications, dental devices, and even outpatient surgeries that can be recommended.
