Higher Nature Neversnore, £19.30

Concentrated with a unique blend of enzymes proven to assist the breakdown of mucus, this natural solution clears the airways and reduces the likelihood of snoring.

Kally Anti-Snore Pillow, £35

Developed by a team of sleep experts, including Harley Street doctors and osteopaths, this clever pillow has an ergonomic, S-shaped foam core, which supports the neck and gently tilts the head back, widening the gap between chin and chest and opening the airways. Promising to reduce snoring frequency and volume by 50%, this expert-approved pillow is well worth a try.

Rhinomed Mute, £18.50

A nasal dilator may seem a little intimidating, but this plastic device sits neatly inside the nostrils, gently opening the airways, enabling easier breathing. In a recent trial, 75% of users claimed to snore less when using Mute and 73% of partners said they slept better. Mute comes in three different sizes, but it’s worth buying the trial pack that contains all three to work out the best fit for you (or your SO).

Soundly App, from £8.03/month

Where most snoring gadgets focus on stopping you from snoring while it happens, Soundly takes a preventative approach. The app is based on research that shows snoring can be reduced by a structured set of exercises, which strengthen the muscles in your airways. Performing vocalisation sounds like ‘nee’, ‘naw’ and ‘ng’ engages muscles of the soft palate, clinically proven to address the root cause of snoring. With a seven-day free trial, this is one to consider.
