Between chin straps, nose plugs, and mouth guards, there’s no shortage of snoring solutions available out there. Despite being minimally intrusive, they always bring some discomfort, requiring some amount of getting used to before you get comfortable using them. The Snorelax claims to offer something different.
Instead of inserting something in your mouth or nose, the contraption simply adheres onto your cheeks, where it will be able to push on your jaw enough to keep your airways open once your muscles relax. As such, your body will be able to get all the air you need, eliminating the turbulence and vibration that creates that annoying snoring sound.
The Snorelax is a multi-layer sheet with a special adhesive on the bottom layer that adheres to the skin with enough grip to endure a full-night’s wear. It boasts a gentle and comfortable hold that’s suitable even for sensitive skin, all while pushing with enough force to keep the jaws from falling back and obstructing your airways. The top layer, by the way, is a fortifying micro-weave of 100 percent high-grade cotton that’s hypoallergenic and highly breathable to ensure all-night comfort, while the middle layer that provides structural support is a honeycomb weave that ensures the sheet holds its form no matter how much you move throughout the night.
Now, how the heck does a multi-layer sheet that adheres to your cheeks keep your jaws from dropping? We’re not entirely sure, but we’re guessing that’s the proprietary part of this whole thing. To show that it works, by the way, the team behind Snorelax showed an MRI scan of the difference inn the air pathways of a snorer sleeping with the Snorelax and the same person sleeping without it. If those scans are real, then it’s definitely impressive because having those adhesive sheets on kept the pathway completely open.
