An anti snoring pillow is designed to improve head and neck placement with the goal of opening up your airways to reduce or stop snoring.<\/p>\n

One of the things that can cause snoring or make snoring worse is poor sleep ergonomics, and specifically the position of your head and neck.<\/p>\n

A pillow that doesn’t support your head and neck in the right position (aligned to the rest of the body), can restrict your airways and cause or worsen snoring.<\/p>\n

Switching to an anti snoring pillow can reduce or eliminate snoring.<\/p>\n

In this buying guide we recommend the best anti snoring pillows in the UK, tell you everything you need to know about them, and give you tips on how to choose the right one for your needs.<\/p>\n

How Do Anti Snoring Pillows Work?<\/h2>\n

Anti snoring pillows typically have a unique design that improves head and neck contouring.<\/p>\n

Some look like wedges, others have a curved S-like surface and others have an S-shaped core. All these designs work by positioning your head and neck in such a way that there\u2019s no breathing restriction.<\/p>\n

This can eliminate mild cases of snoring, or reduce snoring frequency and volume.<\/p>\n

An anti snore pillow can also make it easier to switch to sleeping on your side instead of your back. Side sleeping prevents your tongue and palette from falling on the back of your throat and vibrating when you breathe.<\/p>\n

Do Anti Snoring Pillows Work?<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no snoring aid (see our reviews of sprays<\/a> and chin straps<\/a>) that\u2019s guaranteed to work. That\u2019s because there are many causes and factors involved in snoring.<\/p>\n

For example, if your snoring is associated with sleep apnoea, an anti snoring pillow is unlikely to stop your snoring.<\/p>\n

The same goes if your snoring is triggered by an allergic reaction that causes your nose to clog up. Sleeping on a special pillow won\u2019t stop the allergies and you\u2019ll most likely still snore when your nose gets stuffy.<\/p>\n

But if your snoring is caused mostly by your sleeping position, then an anti snoring pillow can help. Most of these pillows are designed to encourage side sleeping, which is the best position for reducing snoring.<\/p>\n

An anti snoring pillow can also help if your current pillow is uncomfortable and doesn’t offer enough support for your head and neck.<\/p>\n
