Best ear plugs for snoring?

Can anyone recommend a really good pair of ear plugs to cope with my DH’s snoring?
I currently use the squishy foam ones (see photo) but, whilst they do help, they aren’t completely doing the trick and I am woken in the early hours.
Incase it’s relevant:


  • I love my DH and don’t want to leave him.

  • He isn’t over weight

  • He doesn’t have sleep apnea

  • We don’t have a spare room

  • I like sharing a bed with him

  • I prod him if he snores (he told me to), which wakes him and stops the snoring but we both end up not getting enough sleep.

  • Our children are teens and tweens.

  • It’s just a case of middle age

Thanks all

I use the bio ears ones. Got the cheap substitute from Amazon which works just as well.

The foam ones seem to itch.

It's horrible isn't it?

I bought some moldable silicon wax/putty type earplugs from tesco for when ds had his 18th party at home a few months back. They weren't cheap, but think you can use them 2-3 times each.

I didn't hear a thing and slept through the music, singing, vomiting, a heated argument and ds coming in to use my en-suite as there was a queue for the toilet!

Do not read further if you are eating - There was just one boy was sick, and they all helped to clean up, I wouldn't even have realised if he hadn't told me how difficult it was to wash away the lumpy scooped up sick down the kitchen sink plughole 🤮!
