What Is the Snore Reduction Memory Foam Pillow?

Snoring happens when the airway narrows and the airflow from the outside of the body to the lungs is obstructed and turbulent. This causes the tissues in the throat to then vibrate, according to Dr. Kathleen Romito. More than one-third of adults say they have snored at least a few nights a week during a year's time. The memory foam snore reduction pillow is used by many people to reduce snoring and provide a peaceful night's sleep.

  1. The Pillow

    • The snore reduction memory foam pillow is a pillow that snoring sufferers use to help alleviate snoring. This pillow is believed to help snorers by positioning the head in such a way that the airways are kept opened, allowing air to move freely through the passageways with no obstructions.

    What It's Made Of

    • The snore reduction memory foam pillow is made of temperature-sensitive memory foam that offers a cutout for the neck for comfort. The user lies on his back and his spine is in alignment because of the cutout. This also helps to open up the nasal airway. The pillow is made of viscoelastic polyurethane foam and other high-viscosity leveled chemicals, which create a higher density. The removable zippered cover is made of polyester and cotton and can be machine washed and dried. The pillow should only be hand washed and allowed to air dry.

    How It Works

    • By bringing the neck into alignment using the patented cutout area, the head is caused to lie flat. When lying flat, the user's nasal airway is opened, allowing air to flow freely. When sleeping on your back using a regular pillow, your chin falls to your chest. Pressure is then put on your airway to force air out due to the collapse of the airway. The memory foam technology helps to hold the chin up and away from the chest, while keeping the jaw forward to help the airways stay open. Not only is sleep better because there is no longer snoring, but a restful sleep is achieved because the body is learning to sleep in a more relaxed and natural position. The cutout area helps to keep the sleeper from tossing and turning. It is good for people who sleep on their back or their sides.

    What to Expect

    • A user can expect relief from snoring the first night the pillow is used. The results are immediate due to the alignment of the body and the opening of the airways. Not only does the polyester and cotton zippered cover help with cleaning, but the pillow also helps to keep the temperature of the head and neck within comfortable ranges to promote deep sleep.

    Where to Find It

    • The snore reduction memory foam pillow is available at many brick-and-mortar stores and online stores. There are several brands available, including Sealy Posturepedic.
