Can A Pillow Help with Snoring?

Snoring occurs due to the narrowing or obstruction of a person's airway. A pillow can help reduce snoring by aligning the head and neck in a way that opens the airways.

The bottom line: using large or too many pillows may be soft for your head but bad for snoring and breathing patterns. Make sure your pillow keeps your head tilted slightly backwards or in a neutral position.

What causes snoring?

When air tries to squeeze through a narrow or obstructed airway, it creates a sound. The muscles of the mouth, tongue, and throat may relax as a person is sleeping, which is what causes the obstruction. The hoarse noise of a snore comes from muscle vibrations as the air attempts to get through the throat.

A person may snore because of sinus-related issues or allergies. Snoring can also be a symptom of a health condition, such as sleep apnea. If a person believes that their snoring is a symptom of sleep apnea, they should seek medical advice.

A person is more likely to snore if they:

have overweight
smoke
drink excessive amounts of alcohol
sleep on their back

A pillow may help by positioning the head and neck in a way that opens the airways and improves breathing. There are some anti-snoring pillows available on market. Some of the SweetNight pillows are made for anti-snoring with their designs and materials.
