The Best Anti-Snore Pillows To Keep Your Body Aligned & Your Sleep Uninterrupted

Whether it's you, your partner, or a roommate down the hall, even the best sleep hygiene can't always counteract the negative impact snoring has on your sleep.

And, while there's no shortage of great advice on how to stop snoring naturally, the solution could be right under your head.

For many people, snoring is caused by a gravitational pull on the tongue that narrows your airways—and in these cases the best anti-snore pillows help to position your head correctly so you can breathe easier (and quieter).

According to integrative sleep physician Valerie Cacho, M.D., it’s important to find a pillow that’s conducive to your sleep style and fits within your budget, whether that be a wedge pillow, pregnancy pillow, or a pillow designed for sleeping on your side.

This contoured pillow was designed for back and side sleepers, with an extra firm feel that adapts to the natural curve of the body. The result? Relaxed-yet-supported relief for your next and shoulders.

It’s available in small, medium, or large—and the brand has a helpful guide to help determine which side is best, depending on your sleeping position and the width between your neck and shoulders.

Some testers say it requires a little break-in time, but many rave about how well this pillow works to prevent snoring.

Saatva stands out for its luxurious products and high quality materials—and this pillow is no exception. Its buoyant and balanced support helps prevent snoring by stopping the head from tilting back while you sleep. 

What’s more, the pillow is made from shredded natural latex with an organic cotton fill. These sustainable and hypoallergenic materials make this pick a great option for anyone who has allergies that tend to cause snoring or interrupt their sleep.

Made with natural Talalay latex, this hyper-responsive pillow conforms to your head and neck to encourage healthier spinal alignment (which can reduce snoring). It’s available in low loft (for back sleepers) and high loft (for side sleepers).

Since latex is naturally breathable, this airy pillow is a great pick for hot sleepers or warmer weather. Plus, it’s hypoallergenic, providing asthma and allergy sufferers with welcome relief.

We love this Avocado Green Pillow for its adjustable firmness and sustainable materials. You can add or remove the organic cotton and kapok tree filling to find the perfect amount of support for your neck and eliminate your snoring.

The organic latex core is incredibly durable, meaning you’ll have this pillow for the long haul—and it’s also one of the most sustainable materials. The pillow is GREENGUARD Gold certified and has a breathable organic cotton cover.

Made from European white down, this plush pillow is available in three firmness levels: soft, medium, or firm. We recommend selecting your pillow based on the amount of support your body needs; the firm option is great for side sleepers, while the medium option is our top pick for back and stomach sleepers.

Some people say the down fill causes this pillow to retain heat, but it does have a 100% cotton shell that helps provide some breathability. And, while down is not the most sustainable material, the pillow is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified.

This crescent pillow is a standout pick for hot sleepers thanks to its cool-touch fabric cover, heat-wicking inner liner, and ventilated outer layer. Plus, the ergonomic shape provides the perfect amount of support to keep your cervical spine aligned throughout the night, even if you change positions.

Like all Coop pillows, it comes with a half pound of extra fill, allowing you to find your ideal firmness.

This pillow's aerated gel foam is perfectly contoured to support the head and neck, evenly distributing weight to keep your airways open. Despite molding to your body, the material is still firm enough to hold its shape so you won't have to worry about waking up with a collapsed pillow.

Of course, the design's ultimate perk is its cooling technology. Aerated memory foam provides continuous airflow and breathability, while the brand's patented phase-change material adjusts to your body temperature in real time to keep you cool.

Cacho explains taht snoring is caused by air flowing through a restricted airway, either in the nose or the back of the throat. As the air forces its way through your passageways, it causes the soft tissue to vibrate, creating the snoring sound.

For many, this narrowing of passageways is caused by lying down on your back—but Chaco says it's not the only factor.

"Some people have anatomically narrow airways from nasal septal deviation, enlarged tonsils and adenoids," she explains. "Others snore due to seasonal allergies, alcohol consumption, [or] as a side effect of medications that relax the upper airway."

What's more, age and weight can also impact whether you snore. Weakened throat muscles are part of the natural aging process, which means your throat closes naturally as you age—and snoring can be a result of this.

Per Chaco, weight plays a role because if there is excess tissue around the neck it puts more pressure on the airway to narrow when lying down to sleep.

Snoring can quickly ruin a quality night's sleep, not only for the snorer but for anyone in the room. Thankfully, the best anti-snore pillows help better align your body to reduce snoring and help everyone sleep more soundly.

Whether you're a side sleeper, back sleeper, hot sleeper, or a combination of the above, there's an option for you or your partner on this list.
