7 Products to Help You Stop Snoring – CNET

If you are a snorer, you know that few things are as bothersome as snoring, for both you and your sleeping partner. It doesn’t matter if you’re snoring because of sleep apnea, sleep disorder problems, sinus issues or your sleeping position, you can still find solutions and antisnoring device options for your issues. 

Luckily (or not), many people snore, so the market is full of antisnoring products. So if you think you have sleep apnea or have been diagnosed with it, you should work with your doctor on finding the best anti-snoring device and treatment option for you.

Most of these products won’t cut it as a permanent treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnea. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines are still the gold standard for sleep apnea treatment, but if you can’t tolerate one, your doctor may be able to recommend alternative snoring treatments.

However, if you’re just a mild snorer who doesn’t have any serious underlying health problems, one of these eight products — most of them budget-friendly — can help reduce your snoring (and consequently reduce complaints from your sleep-deprived bed partner about being tortured by the snoring sound).

9 sleep myths, busted by a sleep doctor

This tiny nasal dilator is an anti-snoring gadget that looks like two baskets connected by a hook. Each one of the “baskets” goes inside a nostril, kept in place by the hook around the cartilage that separates the nasal airway openings of your nostrils.

The Snorepin is supposed to dilate your nostrils and make it easier to breathe while you’re sleeping, thus reducing any snoring. Some buyers on Amazon have had trouble with the fit of the Snorepin, but many say that it’s worth the $25 to try if your snoring problem is bad.

A humidifier won’t cure snoring when something like sleep apnea is the cause. However, if your snoring is triggered by dry air, dry sinuses, a cold or allergies, a humidifier may bring some relief when those conditions strike. If you’re not certain it’ll work, start small with a budget-friendly portable humidifier like the $18 Jisulife. Even if it doesn’t help your snoring, it may help in other ways. 

The GhostBed Adjustable Base is a good remedy for snoring that’ll also significantly upgrade your bedding setup. 

Laying flat in bed adds more pressure on your windpipe and nasal airways. Complete with a preset Antisnore mode, the GhostBed Adjustable Base raises your head and torso to an optimal position so there’s less compression and obstruction to your airways. In one clinical study, results showed that an adjustable bed frame eased symptoms in up to 67% of habitual snorers.

Aside from its Antisnore mode, the adjustable base also features four USB ports, under-bed lighting, three massage modes and more.
