Finding a solution to snoring can feel overwhelming — especially when it disrupts your sleep (and probably your partner's, too!). That's why we're so excited to share the results of a groundbreaking clinical study involving our Posiform Anti-Snore Pillow.


In this study, researchers explored whether a simple, non-invasive solution like a positioning pillow could really help with sleep-related breathing disorders. Spoiler alert: the results are impressive.


Let's take a closer look at how this study unfolded and what it means for anyone struggling with snoring or positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA).

The Posiform Anti-Snore Pillow: A Clinical Trial's Results

The  study we're focusing on  is from  Sleep and Breathing ,a comprehensive journal that covers the international science and practice of sleep medicine.


So, what was the purpose of this study?


The idea was to test whether a positional therapy (PT) pillow — in this case, the Posiform Pillow — helps patients with positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA) and mild sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBDs)


If so, the Posiform could become a non-invasive and affordable alternative to more complicated snoring solutions like CPAP machines and invasive surgeries.

How the Study Was Conducted

The study involved 28 participants who had been diagnosed with POSA.


Over three nights, these patients underwent sleep assessments using  polysomnography (PSG)  — the gold-standard test for monitoring sleep quality, respiratory patterns, and snoring episodes.


Here's what happened:


  •  Night 1:  Patients were assessed with no intervention to measure their baseline sleep quality and breathing patterns.

  •  Night 2:  Patients used the Posiform Anti-Snore Pillow for the first time, with another round of sleep monitoring.

  •  Follow-Up:  After using the pillow for one month, the participants were assessed again for any long-term benefits.


The results of the study speak for themselves. Participants showed a significant improvement in both sleep quality and respiratory health. In fact, the results were pretty striking:


  •  Reduction in supine sleeping : Participants spent much less time sleeping on their backs, a common  cause of snoring

  •  Decreased sleep fragmentation : Less tossing and turning was reported

  •  Improved breathing : Apnea-hypopnea and respiratory disturbance indexes dropped considerably, as did oxygen desaturation.

  •  Better daytime energy : Measures like the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index improved dramatically, showing that participants felt more rested and less fatigued.


And here's the kicker: these benefits persisted after a month of use.

What Was the Verdict?

In a nutshell, the study concluded that the Posiform Anti-Snore Pillow is an effective, non-invasive solution for reducing snoring and improving sleep quality.


Although the study only assessed the subjects for three nights, researchers followed up with the participants after six months, concluding that “reported compliance and overall satisfaction appeared to be highly concordant both at 1 month and 6 months follow-up.” 


Basically, the results held firm — participants were still using the pillow and loving the benefits! 


So, how does the Posiform Anti-Snore Pillow work its magic? Let's examine what makes this pillow so unique.

How the Posiform Anti-Snore Pillow Works

The Posiform isn't just any old pillow. Its unique design is the result of years worth of Swiss engineering and a fair bit of trial and error.


Here are the unique features that help it combat snoring:


  •  Downward tilt:  The Posiform Pillow tilts your head just enough to open up your airway, reducing the risk of tissue blockage in your throat.

  •  Comfort-first forehead support: A unique forehead support compliments the downward tilt, keeping your head in place and you on your side.

  •  No-roll central ridge:  The central ridge is a subtle but effective barrier that discourages you from rolling onto your back throughout the night.

  •  Tailored comfort cut-outs:  Thoughtfully crafted ear and shoulder indentations relieve pressure so you can wake up without your usual aches and pains.

  •  Natural moisture-wicking fabric:  A super comfy 100% cotton inner and velvet bamboo outer cover keep the pillow clean, breathable, and moisture-free.

  •  Medium-firm memory foam:  The memory foam molds to your body and is firm enough to maintain its shape but soft enough to be.

  •  Universal design:  Its universal shape makes it a versatile solution for all sleepers — from young adults to seniors and even pregnant women. 


When you consider all of the above, it’s clear that an extraordinary amount of research and development went into creating this one-of-a-kind pillow.


How The Posiform Compares to Traditional Pillows

Unlike the Posiform pillow, your standard pillow isn’t designed to encourage good sleeping posture. Instead, it'll happily go along with whatever weird and wonderful position your body decides to move into.


Sure, it may be comfy, but it won’t prevent you from rolling over onto your back,  which is where snoring and POSA tend to kick into high gear

The question is: why should you spend your hard-earned money on SnoreLessNow’s Posiform Anti-Snore Pillow over other snoring solutions on the market?


We’ve got three compelling reasons for you:

1. Clinically Proven

This isn't just a pillow with claims — it's backed by science. The clinical study we discussed earlier shows significant improvements in sleep quality, snoring reduction, and overall energy levels after consistently using the Posiform Anti-Snore Pillow.

2. Superior Design

From the no-roll central ridge to the comfort-first forehead support, this pillow is packed with well-thought-out design features that outshine traditional pillows.

3. High Customer Satisfaction and Compliance

With positive feedback from both the clinical study and countless satisfied customers, the Posiform Anti-Snore Pillow has earned a reputation for delivering on its promises.

The Bottom Line: The Posiform Pillow Study

The Posiform Anti-Snore Pillow isn't just another sleep gimmick. It's a scientifically proven solution to a problem that affects millions of people in the U.S. and around the world.


This pillow's unique design features — which encourage side-sleeping and a better overall sleeping position — were put to the test in a clinical study, and as we expected, it passed with flying colors.


Not only did the study confirm that the Posiform can improve the sleep quality of people struggling with snoring and POSA, but it also proved that this remarkable pillow can have a positive long-term impact on overall sleep quality.
