The 10 Best Anti-Snore Pillows, So Everyone Can Get a Good Night’s Sleep

Best Backpack Style

“Any brand that makes it uncomfortable for a patient to sleep on their back will do the trick” says Dr. Avidan. And we like this model for its soft nylon fastener straps and non-scratchy zipper. We also appreciate that there’s an inner inflatable pouch that you can deflate for storage or travel.

Best Wedge Shape

This is genius—when laid down on its longest side, it lifts your head, which gets your tongue and soft palate out of the way of air flow (and it can also help with acid reflux and dissipate pressure on the upper back and neck). And when the pillow is stood up using its narrowest side as a base, it makes a comfy backrest to sit up and work in bed.

Best Cooling Gel Design

A cooler room temperature—between 60 and 65 degrees, according to Dr. Avidan—can help insomniacs get to sleep and stay that way. This pillow has gel inserts that draw the heat from your head to dissipate in the bedroom. Which means your bedmate doesn’t have to shiver just because you need a colder room. Plus, the ergonomic design keeps your head and spine aligned so that you don’t wake up with a sore back.

Best Neck Support

Need a little help re-training yourself to sleep on your side? This ventilated memory foam pillow has a little runway in the middle of one side to lay your head on, cradling it in a position you won’t be tempted to roll out of.

Best Belt Style

This mesh belt keeps you from feeling too constricted, but also prevents you from rolling onto our back mid sleep cycle. Claustrophobic types will appreciate that, unlike with the backpack style pillow, this design has no shoulder straps that might make you feel, oh, harnessed for sleep.

Best Down Alternative

Want a super-soft feeling pillow, but still need to make sure your pillow will hold your head up enough to prevent the dreaded airway blockage? This model gets the job done, hypoallergenically, with down alternative fibers that create micro-air pockets, alongside springy memory fiber clusters that keep up the support.

Best Adjustable Loft

The inside is filled with gel-infused memory foam that you can take out or put back in until you get the perfect height for a snore-free sleep that’s comfortable (and thanks to the gel, cooling) for a whole night’s rest.

Best Arm Recess Design

Side snugglers, we see you, we got you: This pillow has a clever shape that allows either arm to tunnel under the pillow, positioning your body on the side without causing your arm or shoulder to fall asleep.

Best for Side Sleepers

The semicircle cutout shape makes room for your shoulders to nestle comfortably, and the fill can be adjusted to your preference. Also, the addition of copper to the memory foam is both cooling and antimicrobial.

Best Speaker Insert

Shaped like a flying saucer, this pillow gets raves from users who report that its slight downward slope repositions their jaw, thereby making more room for air in their breathing passageways while they sleep. Bonus: The hollowed-out section in the middle of the underside is perfect for a Bluetooth speaker or lavender-scented pad to help lull you to sleep.
