SNORING STUDY REPORTS 75% BETTER SLEEP FOR SNORERS

TEMPUR pillow makes a substantial difference to sleep quality of snorers and bedmates.
 

Did you know that 50% of men and 40% of women are snorers?  We’ve all known one, shared a bed with one, or may even be one ourselves.  Regardless, the majority of human beings have at some point in their lives been affected by snoring.

Persistent snoring can stretch the patience of even the calmest among us.  We all want silence and serenity in our bedroom so the constant wheezing and heavy breathing from snorers will not only lead to sleepless nights but can also result in arguments, separate bedrooms and in some cases divorce!

So many remedies are on the market, but do most of them actually work?  Nasal strips and moulded mouthpieces have been touted as the next big thing in snoring remedies but who wants to wear a plastic mouthpiece while they’re sleeping?

Now, researchers are saying that the pillow you use can also have an affect on reducing your snoring levels.  A recent study, conducted by TEMPUR, the world’s number one selling pressure relieving mattresses and pillows, tested 48 couples in a 30-day sleep evaluation, and put the TEMPUR Original Neck Pillow to the test.

Prior to the study, 68.8% of snorers slept on a polyester or cotton-fibre filled pillow, 12.5% of snorers slept on a feather or down-filled pillow and 18.8% of snorers slept on a foam pillow.

Pillows were provided to those who snore and their bedmates, and they were asked to keep a brief sleep log relating to the effectiveness of the pillow in reducing snoring.  Users of the pillow were also surveyed regarding the comfort and usability of the pillow.

75% of snorers reported that they slept better overall when using The Original Swedish Neck Pillow™.  “The pillow has made a huge difference in our lives,” said Sandra, the wife of one of the snorers involved in the study.  “Sometimes I work a late shift and get off at midnight. Before, he would already be in the bed snoring and it would take me at least 30 minutes to tune him out and fall asleep because he snores like a train. But since he's been doing the study, I come home and have to check to see if he is breathing because he is sleeping so quietly. That pillow really works.”

The TEMPUR Original Pillow has been designed to mould perfectly to the exact contours of your neck and head, giving excellent support and relief to the neck and shoulder muscles.  Retailing from AED400, the Original Pillow is also a recommended support pillow for those suffering from back and neck pain.
