Somnofit-S Luxury Anti Snore Mouthguard, Anti Snore Mouthpiece, 510(k) FDA Cleared, Made in Switzerland, Adjustable Snoring Stop Device, Reduce Snoring for Men and Women

This puppy works. Now, it must be said that I did not try out the cheaper versions, I remembered how much I hated my anti-grinding device from college years, and decided I would go with this quite a bit more expensive one bc it seemed it would be of excellent quality and fit and spending that much money would scare me into using it. I agree with every review that I read prior to purchase and that it fits shockingly well. I am supposed to have a sleep study for obstructive apnea but insurance has been a nightmare so I decided to be proactive and start treating myself already. My nose doesn't work due to deviated septum and overgrown turbinates. I have started snoring in the last few years, probably because I have to sleep in a recliner in order for my sinuses to drain so I don't get a headache in the middle of the night. After 2 years of that my blood pressure was through the roof, and now they suspect sleep apnea. Back to the appliance... Fitting it was so simple. Do make sure you have the strap facing the right direction when you attach it to the top, cuz if you don't it will not attach to the bottom sides. Other than that, the process was over in less than 10 minutes. Yes, you will drool like a baby. But every night I drool a little less, as promised. Just take a hand towel to bed. I have a slight over by so started off with the longest strap as directed. One front tooth is slightly forward of the other, so it does take a bit in the morning but every night that improves as well. It definitely is pulling my draw forward. I have used this four nights now, and have had only one very slight snoring incident, whereas I used to snore like a train all night long. I am going to use the next shortest strap. I'm allowed back in bed now! It does take a little while to fall asleep, but I did sleep much longer and more unbroken each night. Yes you can drink with this in, but I recommend a straw once you are in bed. And maybe walk around with it an hour before you go to bed the first time to get used to how it moves. I would absolutely recommend this as an anti-snoring device. I have no jaw pain. The first night I had difficulty closing my lips, but I think that was just fear. My mouth is shutting just fine now when my nose occasionally clears!

I have long suspected I have a mild form of sleep apnea after a home sleep study a few years ago revealed “upper airway resistance syndrome” or UARS, But when I did the in-lab study my oxygen levels were normal, which is common in UARS. I have long suspected something was wrong because I am always sleepy and never feel refreshed no matter how long I sleep. After research, it turns out UARS doesn’t usually cause oxygen levels to drop, as the airways narrow but never fully constrict, but your body still wakes up partially, called micro arousals, and these can cause the same unrefreshed sleep and daytime fatigue as the more severe sleep apnea since your body exits deep restorative sleep every time your airways narrow, even without them shutting. I’m currently working with a sleep doctor to get to the bottom of it, but in the meanwhile decided to see if I could test my theory by buying this device, which moves the lower jaw slightly forward, similar to a mandibular advancement device. I noticed a dramatic difference after night one that has persisted. I started with band 3, which seems perfect for me, and that night I slept 9.5 hours instead of the 11-13 hours I normally do just to be able to barely function, AND I felt rested. The next night I slept 9 hours then 8, now I’m averaging 7-8 hours of sleep each night feeling FARRR more rested than I ever did on 11-13 hours previously. This has been a miracle and given me back so much time and quality of life. It did take a few trials of molding to get the fit right and stop any pieces from cutting the inside of my lip by trimming off the excess material, but after that and some dental soreness with my back teeth the first few nights, I got used to it and no longer have pain. I do wish it was ever so slightly less bulky, as sometimes I do get a slight gag sensation, but I also have a over-sensitive gag reflex from acid reflux which could be part of why. But the device is well-made, durable, comfortable, and well fitted. The instructions are incredibly thorough and helpful for getting started, the company leaves no stone unturned. Overall, I am highly impressed with this device, and customer service is top of the line, downright phenomenal. When I reached out to inquire about replacement bands since mine had stretched a bit after a couple of weeks enough to reduce the effectiveness, customer service was extremely helpful and promptly responsive. The customer service manager, Robert W, said he would send not one but my first THREE replacement bands free of charge with expedited shipping and even sent me complementary sleep patches which contain all natural sleep aid ingredients like magnesium, melatonin, and hops to promote restful sleep, wonderful as a chronic insomniac. That was so above and beyond and truly made me feel valued as a customer. I took my first one tonight, easy to apply, no pill to swallow and I can already feel myself getting sleepy almost within minutes, can’t wait to update this review once I’ve done the patches for a couple of days. This has been a Godsend and just confirms something was going on all along as I had always suspected!

I have had snoring and breathing issues for many years. Many years ago, I had a mouthpiece made by the dentist to attempt to address them because they didn't recommend a cpap (not that I would have wanted one). It isn't very good. Like a huge hockey puck that has this thing that juts out from the bottom to try to keep the jaw from falling back. An epic, and expensive fail. As time passed, my snoring went from occasional and "not that loud" according to my husband, to being bad enough that he often needed to sleep in the spare room to actually get some sleep. He has a dangerous job, and I don't blame him! I addressed all the things I thought were causing it, lost over 40lbs to get to an ideal weight, exercise near daily, and eat well. But a good night's sleep still wasn't happening. I just kept getting louder, waking up more often, and never feeling as good as I thought I should. I always felt tired no matter how many hours of sleep I got. More recently, I began thinking that the loud snoring was part of the issue. I got a sleep app that records (suffice to say that's not a top 10 hit), and sadly, some of my apnea sounds get notated as being "animal noises" REALLY? Actually, I laughed pretty hard, I see how it might think that and it's better than it thinking it was a fart! Anyhow. In my rabbit hole of research, I was between a couple of devices I thought might help me in my quest for more quiet, restful sleep. In the end, my gut steered me to the Somnofit-S. Something about the company drew me in. I didn't use my HSA on it, but the fact that you could lent credibility in my opinion. I am not normally the person who opts for one of the most expensive options, but how do you put a price on feeling your best? I knew it was a small company, and I was glad to place my order to support them. The reviews as far as their guarantee, removed any concerns I might have had; besides, I was very optimistic! It arrived and seemed well-made. I followed the directions and looked up videos on YouTube to make sure I did the molding correctly. I was pretty sure I did, and it was farily easy to do. I don't have an over or underbite, but the suggested level 3 was way too aggressive for me to start with. I started with 1 for a week or so, then 2 for a few days and they were fine. I got up to level 3, where I have been. My app confirms the instances of my snoring are far fewer, and when I do, they aren't nearly as loud. My husband agrees. I feel a little more energetic and I am getting more deep sleep than I was getting before I used the Somnofit-S. But I am still snoring more than I would like, and believe I can get up another level that would happen. However, getting to level 4 is where my progress has stalled. I contacted customer service for advice and did remold the top tray. I tried easing into the number 4 over, but it was causing me too much jaw and teeth pain that was lasting for a good part of the day. I tried again (like it's a video game!) but couldn't even make it through the night without ripping it out of my face. I went back to level 3. It's reasonably comfortable for me there. I can close my mouth when I use it. It's still a little thick, but not NEAR as thick and bulky as the one made by the dentist. Seems my jaw REALLY wants to fall back. I'm pleased with the progress so far and didn't want to give up so I emailed the Sat. after Christmas in the evening to see if there was any other advice, or maybe I needed to try to remold the trays. I didn't expect a reply at all until today let alone from a co-founder! Chris very kindly addressed my concerns, even offering a full refund. He is genuinely invested in helping my snoring issue. I can't say I've ever felt more valued as a customer as I do with this company. Their attention to customer service is the best I've encountered. I am adding their pillow at Chris's suggestion that it might help me to obtain my optimal sleep if I'm unable to tolerate the next level. Even if that doesn't quite work, I am still absolutely thrilled at the improvements so far. I feel confident I'll get there. I'll update once I have the pillow.

I've had problem sleeping for years and it's gotten really bad in the past year or two. This has been the best product by far that has helped me sleep. It was easy to mold and worked great from the first night. I have much better sleep while also going to sleep and back to sleep way more easier. I usually have to take sleeping meds or spend about an hour or two every night to get to sleep along with waking up in the middle of the night unable to go back to sleep. I would wake up every morning with my body hurting from the bad sleep and all sorts of nasal problems. It's been a couple of weeks of use and it's all gone. I don't need sleeping meds and I go to sleep in about 10 minutes. My body feels rested for the first time in years and no longer have breathing issues or middle insomnia. Cons would be the straps end up hurting my teeth, like they are putting pressure on my teeth and pulling them out of place so I no longer use the straps. The little piece of plastic that holds the front middle part of the strap in place extends a tiny bit out to where it dries out when I sleep so that can cause that dry pain. It's also a tiny bit too big so it does cause a bit of drooling. But it says I can cut off certain parts of this mouthguard, so I just need to see what I can cut off and if I can trim it to the point where it fully closes my mouth then that would make this excellent. Even with those couple of cons, it's a trade off for quality sleep. And I think if I didn't want to use the straps ever, I could just cut it off with zero issues and this would be a perfect product. It's a 9/10 overall, but for sleep its a 10/10.

I had an “oral appliance” made through a dentist about six years ago. In the meantime my insurance changed to Medicare so when I went to get a new one, I found that I was going to have to pay out of the pocket at the tune of nearly $3,000 for a replacement. Obviously, I didn’t go that route. I’ve viewed and reviewed many snoring appliances this year and settled on this one, which is considerably more expensive than most of those I reviewed. However, based on what I was reading, I decided that this one might be my best option. The molding process is fairly straightforward and easy. It fits nice and is actually softer and more comfortable than the “professionally” molded appliance. Initially I did have a bit of gum discomfort with this in one spot but after a few brushings with a sensitive gum toothpaste that was overcome. Also, since my jaw had already adapted to the adjustment of my old mouthpiece, I was able fit this new appliance at the maximum adjustment (shortest strap); so I will be in contact with them about seeing if they have available, shorter straps than what comes with the original purchase. Overall, I like this mouthpiece as much as one can like an overnight mouthpiece. If you’ve never used one before prepared to waking up during the night thinking you have a Carmel stuck in your mouth! Don’t worry, in a short time you will get used to it. I can’t say how this mouthpiece compares to others on Amazon, but I can say, based on my experience with a professionally fitted one, this seems to be equally effective and yet more comfortable. It’s a no-brainer in choosing this $150 version over a $3,000 unit.
