Snoozeband…anyone used with success?

[BaileyHorse]

My hubby is a terrible snorer. So much so that I often end up downstairs on the sofa to actually get some sleep. Starting to really affect us both now. I already have a pair of loop earplugs but they hurt my ears after a few nights. Thinking about trying a snoozeband (esp whilst on offer) but wanted to hear genuine reviews from folk about whether it actually works or not?! I am a side sleeper so it absolutely needs to be comfortable for that.

Also open to any other suggestions that are not earplugs (or divorce!). Thanks all 😴

I love mine. I find it very comfortable as a fellow side sleeper. It does come into its own when I go away and share a room with a rather snorey friend, although we're in twin beds so not next to each other! I'd have no hesitation recommending them.

I have one & also find it comfy as a side sleeper.

I've ordered one to get for my Christmas. I'm glad to hear it is good.

The snoozeband is comfortable but can make my head sweaty if worn in hot weather. I do find whatever noise I use to send me to sleep (and I've tried lots!) ends up keeping me awake as much as the snoring, so it's absolutely useless from that perspective. I now just use it for listening to music round the house and when exercising.

It’s fine but it doesn’t cover the sound of snoring. My DH doesn’t snore (just breathes heavily) and I can still hear it with it on, I can only sleep in dead silence. Only thing that works for me is silicone ear plugs, that covers heavy breathing but I have to push him to roll him over if he does start snoring.

I didn’t get on with one at all. It slips and moves, so the headphones also move, meaning very little snoring is blocked out.

I would recommend the Soundcore A20 sleep headphones. I used to use the Bose ones (now discontinued), but they were much more expensive. The A20s are much better as same functionality but with much much better battery life.

Have you tried listening to audio books - particularly stories you know well and children's fiction? It's what I listen to to block out extraneous noise, and the fact that I already know the story means it doesn't keep me awake (it's actually very soothing, like having an adult reading to you).

I've used one. It's perfectly comfortable to sleep in and I used it every night for years, but it isn't noise-cancelling so might not be ideal if you want to block out snoring. It might depend on what you listen to with it - eg if you're listening to music or white noise that might mask the sound of snoring - but I used mine to listen to audiobooks and podcasts and I could certainly still hear my DP snoring.
