The 9 Best Anti-Snoring Devices to Use in 2025

It comes in a standard or high loft fill, to truly fit your individual body’s needs. While the composition may seem “heavy,” this pillow remains quite breathable, helping even the hottest sleepers stay cool. While the price tag is a tough ask, it’s well worth the cost.

While the Oura Ring won’t stop snoring on its own, it can help you track your efforts and show how well you are sleeping. It’s a good starting point to use in conjunction with others in this guide to see if the devices are effective for you.

The Ring 4 revamps its slightly bulkier third generation for a slimmer, more comfortable update. It also stepped up its game in terms of utilizing new sensors and algorithmic improvements to an already powerful health-tracking device.

“I personally love the sleep tracking feature on my own Oura Ring,” noted our tester. “It’s definitely my most-utilized metric—it’s the first thing I check every morning when I wake up. And I have to say, it’s highly accurate. I wake up at least once a night, and I’ll typically look at the clock when I do. When I check my Oura sleep metrics in the morning, it shows my midnight wake-up time almost exactly every time.”

This ring tracks it all: sleep analysis, heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate, activity tracking, blood oxygen monitoring, temperature variation, daytime stress detection, and more. For deeper sleep analytics, it automatically records how well and how long you slept, as well as the duration of your deep, REM, and light sleep cycles, providing a readiness score to help you start each day.

Understanding your sleep habits with the Oura Ring’s sleep tracking can help you improve your overall wellness. Add it to your arsenal so you can track if your sleep is improving during your anti-snoring device testing (you can’t measure what you can’t track, after all).

For those seeking the most affordable option to address snoring, these strips are it. Nasal dilators also come in a strip form (i.e. nasal strips). Instead of entering the nostrils, nasal strips sit on top of the nose and use embedded elastic bands to gently pull the nostrils open. Breathe Right is a top seller of nasal strips due to its simple design and ready availability (both online and at local drugstores).

“These are definitely the best starting point for those trying something simple for an anti-snoring device,” said our tester. “For under $10, it’s a great way to see if nasal issues are causing your sleep issues. While they do initially work well, I tend to find the stickiness less than ideal throughout an entire night. It may not help that I toss around a bit, but if you do too, these may not be your answer.” They also noted, “I have sensitive skin, and these give me the occasional breakout.”

Breathe Right’s extra-strength strips, designed for sensitive skin, are the best of their kind. With up to 50% more “spring” than their original strips, this one will open up even the stuffiest of noses. Easy, convenient, and a perfect on-the-go option.

Weiss only recommends considering a mouthguard if you do not have OSA. “They work very well for teeth grinding and bruxism but are not the solution for OSA—which many, but not all, people who snore have,” says Weiss.

Mouthguards are popular as anti-snoring devices because they are easy to use. We like this one from Posturepro due to its unique design, which trains your tongue to stay high on the palate while keeping your lower jaw in a more forward position. The theory behind this, according to the brand, is the positioning could promote better oral and postural health, thus leading to improved breathing and reduced snoring.

“This is a great time-saving option that takes more time getting into bed than it does tossing this in,” said our tester. “It’s nice that it comes in three sizes, but it can still fit a little off. I had to cut mine down a bit to better fit, making it more comfortable to wear all night long.” While it may be a pricey spend, its durable design is made to last for years to come.

Some individuals find regular nasal strips aren’t strong enough and nasal dilators are too intrusive. If you think that could be you, then consider taking a combination approach with the Intake Breathing set—a two-part system that sits comfortably on the outside of your nose and uses magnets to open up the nostril.

“These are definitely more effective than traditional nasal strips,” said our reviewer. “Compared to strips, when using these afterward, it’s almost like breathing for the very first time. These truly open up your nasal cavity, which is perfect for my deviated septum. “

The magnets sit securely on a reusable band, while the breathing tabs, containing a steel disk, rest gently on your nostrils with a small adhesive tab attached. Voila! Stronger nasal expansion and improved breathing without the need for an interior nasal dilator. While these are as effective as they come, at $2 per night, you need to ask yourself if this method is the most cost-effective in the long term. If cost is not an issue, then these are the route to go.

While not as much of a custom fit as the Nitronic smart anti-snoring pillow, the Adjustable Wedge pillow from Sleep Number can still be customized to your liking, and used in tandem with your own pillow, or the Staava Cloud Memory Foam Pillow listed above.

With its trio of foam inserts—two 2-inch wedges and a 4-inch one for that extra firmness—you can stack ’em up to reach a lofty eight inches. This helps elevate your upper body, relieving snoring, congestion, or both.

We love that the synthetic foam makes a great hypoallergenic option for sensitive sinuses, so you can snooze in peace. This is particularly handy if your snoring is caused by congestion. This may be the best bet for back sleepers who suffer from snoring.

On the practical side, the cover is removable and washable, AKA a breeze to keep fresh. Sleep Number sweetens the deal with free shipping across the contiguous U.S. And if you’re not totally smitten, you’ve got a whole month to make up your mind with the trial period. It’s even got a one-year warranty to seal the deal.

If you’re not a fan of wearing anything to sleep, the Smart Nora may be the solution for you. Unlike traditional mouthguards or nasal strips, Smart Nora is a contact-free and non-invasive device made to help limit snoring. The tech works by placing a small white device (called the “Pebble”) on your nightstand, and then connecting it to the grey air pump. The Pebble then listens at night for snoring and transmits a message to the air pump, which will activate the white inflatable pillow insert to inflate or deflate to help change your head and neck position to open up the airways.

The convenient thing about this system is that it can be used with any bed, mattress, or pillow setup, so if you are the type of guy that has an emotional support pillow, the Smart Nora can work with you. The movements are soft and subtle, adjusting about one to two inches over a 60-second timeframe.

What’s also cool is you can adjust the sensitivity level of the Pebble and the amount of motion in your pillow to find your optimal setting. “I think a link to new tech is always nice to see,” says Weiss. “I would recommend devices like this are for snoring only, so if the person has OSA it will not solve the problem.”

The Air Max nasal dilator offers a simple way to promote better sleep. “This works by opening the nose to keep the airways open and ensure adequate airflow during sleep, which would ensure satisfactory brain oxygen levels during sleep,” says Weiss. Many individuals credit nasal dilators with providing a more comfortable rest, likely due to at least helping relieve some of the effects of snoring (but not necessarily curing their snoring). What’s nice about nasal dilators is they are affordable and come in a bunch of different designs, so you can try out ones to see which is most comfortable.

One of our testers noted that, “these definitely take some getting used to, especially comfort-wise. They do a great job at opening up the airways, and are very effective for a stuffy nose. These generally work better throughout the entire night, unlike nasal strips, and they can last for over 30 days.”

Reviews are mixed on effectiveness and comfort, but for those who struggle with a stuffy nose, they may be a great option; however, they are less ideal for true congestion. The Air Max dilator you see here is a popular seller due to its ability to reach higher into the nostril, opening up the passageway more fully.

If you’re not a fan of wearing anything to sleep, the Z6 Smart Anti-Snore Pillow may be the solution for you. Unlike traditional mouthguards or nasal strips, the Z6 pillow is a contact-free and non-invasive device made to help limit snoring. The tech works by placing a control box next to your bed on a nightstand. The smart pillow utilizes MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) technology to detect snoring and features six air cushions, a head position sensor, and a height-adjustable cushion. Once the MEMS sensor detects snoring, it properly adjusts your pillow based on head position, helping to turn your head to the side. Based on your unique body size, the memory foam pads can be adjusted in height from 9 to 13 cm, providing a perfect fit.

The convenient thing about this system is that it can be used with any bed or mattress; this is the system for you. The app allows you to customize the sensor’s sensitivity and view your snore metrics as well.

Weiss says, “I would recommend devices like this are for snoring only, so if the person has OSA it will not solve the problem.”

What Is the Most Effective Anti-Snoring Device?

As mentioned earlier, snoring can be caused by several factors. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to snoring. However, the first place to start looking for an effective anti-snoring device is by adjusting your sleep position and pillow. “I recommend changing sleep position—side sleep typically reduces snoring—and using a medium-firm pillow for optimal neck and head support,” says Weiss.

Adjusting your sleep position in this manner may help open up your airways and potentially alleviate your snoring.If altering your sleep position doesn’t work, you can start exploring anti-snoring products, such as nose dilators, mouth guards, and others. With the help of Weiss, we did the research for you on which anti-snoring devices could prove to be helpful (and which devices are worth skipping). Keep scrolling to read our full list.
