Why Snoring Occurs?

Johns Hopkins Medicine estimates nearly half of the population snore occasionally, while 25% snore regularly. When we sleep, our laryngeal muscles relax and the soft tissues in the upper airway collapse due to gravity, causing an obstruction. This obstruction is especially severe when lying down, resulting in snoring as airflow struggles through the blocked airway.

Snoring is more thana sign of poorsleep quality; it is an independent risk factorforchronic diseasesand may indicateObstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). It is common, affects sleepand causesdaytime fatigue, while also impactingrelationshipsand overallhealth.

Common attempts to eliminate the chance of snoring include anti-snoring month-piece, mouth strips, nasal dilators, and electronic stimulators, which areinvasivetools that contradictsleeping habits. They could create morediscomfortor incur additionaldamage.

Andturning the snorer’s head to the sideis the best way toreduce the compressionon the airway, which in turn stops snoring.

  • Airway obstructed, snoring starts.

  • Turn head, open airway, reduce snoring.

"Head Position, separately from trunk position, is an additionally important factor for the occurrence of apnea in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients."

How Nitetronic Smart Anti-Snore Pillow Works

Clinical Studies

Clinical trials at the University ENT Clinic Mannheim in Germany have shown that using the Nitetronic Smart Anti-Snore Pillow can reduce or eliminate snoring by approximately 67%.

  • 40%

    reduction in mild to moderate OSA-AHI



  • 67%

    reduction in snore time with snoring pillow

  • 50%

    reduction in AHI in posture-dependent patients

Test of German users (2013)

Field Test Description

In a study of 157 participants (142 men and 15 women; average age 54±9.6 years), a significant reduction in snoring was observed. The amount of snoring time during the total recording time with the pillow deactivated decreased from an average of 48±17% to 16±9% when the pillow was activated, which represents an improvement of 67±14%.

67% Reduction in Snoring on Average

Test of German users (2013)

  • Number of people tested: 157.
  • The environment for testing: home.
  • People use Nitetronic pillows for 2 nights and do not use Nitetronic pillows for 2 nights.

Significantly Rduced Snoring P < 0.03

ENT Clinic Of Mannheim, Heidelberg University, Germany (2014)

• Don't cause microarousal.
• Don't cause poor sleep parameters.
• Don't change the sleeping position on the back.

  • Pillow Activation Experiment

    Activated anti-snore pillow reduces snoring by 67±13.9% (p<0.01) compared to 48±16.7% when inactive.

  • Bedmate Questionnaire Survey

    After using the anti-snoring function, the snoring of bedmates significantly decreased, with the average decreasing from 2.8 to 1.9.

  • Bedmate and Self-evaluation

    The bedmate evaluation scale shows that snoring significantly decreased after using the anti-snoring function (p<0.001).

  • Sleep Posture Impact

    The anti-snoring function does not cause changes in the (whole-body) sleep posture, only the head movement.

A Cost-Effective Snoring Solution - Side-Sleeping Anti-Snore Pillow

Side-Sleeping Anti-snoring Pillow, with unique ergonomic central spine design, can keep the head naturally tilted during sleep, without the need to intentionally sleep on the side or other people to promote the turn over, effectively intervene in the supine sleep for side sleeping position, smooth oropharyngeal airway, reduce airway resistance, relieve insufficient ventilation and reduce snoring.

Collapsible content

Will it work for stomach sleepers?

The pillow stops snoring by adjusting the position of your head, opening your airway, and clearing the airway. So even for stomach sleepers, it can also smartly adjust head position to help widen your airway. For stomach sleepers, it may not make big difference in stopping snoring, but can improve the oxygen intake to guarantee you a better and safer sleep.

Does this work if one snores when sleeping on one's side?

If you snore when sleeping on your side, the effect may not be significant . But it still works because the pillow will keep pushing to adjust your sleeping position until it can find a better head position.

Is this pillow suitable for someone who have sleep apnea?

Nitetronic Z1 and Z6 have been medically proven to be effective in reducing snoring. They are both designed to alleviate sleep apnea symptoms, but they have not been proven to be a treatment for the condition. CAPA is one of the methods used to treat sleep apnea. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

What should I do if l feel the height of pillow is too low or high?

There are 2 add-ons in the pillow to adjust the height of the pillow. You can remove one if it is too high for you or add one if it is low for you.
Putting other items on the anti-snore pillow is not recommended, which will affect the effect of head position detection and air chamber.

Can children use nitetronic pillows?

It is recommended for adults over 18 years old.
