Comparing Anti-Snoring Pillows: Wedge Pillow vs. The Snorinator

If you’ve started to explore solutions for snoring, chances are you’ve run into two common options: the classic wedge pillow and the Snorinator. Both claim to help reduce snoring by promoting better sleep posture and improving airflow, but only one is engineered from the inside out to keep you snore-free and comfortable all night long.

Choosing the right pillow can be the difference between another restless night and finally waking up refreshed. But not all elevation is created equal—and when it comes to head and neck support, there’s a clear standout.

The Wedge Pillow: Straightforward, But Stiff

Let’s start with the basics. The wedge pillow is exactly what it sounds like—a foam block cut into a slope that raises your upper body. It’s a popular option for people with mild snoring, sinus issues, or acid reflux, and it’s commonly recommended by doctors as a simple way to reduce nighttime symptoms.

Why Some People Choose a Wedge Pillow

• Elevation: By keeping your upper body at an incline, it reduces the chances of your airway collapsing during sleep.

• Multipurpose use: Some use it for reading or TV in bed too.

• Simple design: There’s not much to figure out—just lie back and go.

But Here’s Where the Wedge Falls Short

• No targeted support: Your head and neck are often left hanging or awkwardly bent forward.

• Uncomfortable over time: It's a firm, flat slope—not exactly cozy. Many users toss, turn, and wake up with sore shoulders or strained backs.

• Bulky and hard to move: Good luck packing that for a weekend away. Most wedge pillows are large, inflexible, and impossible to travel with.

• One-size-fits-none: Unless your body shape perfectly matches the slope, it’s not going to be a customized fit.

The bottom line? Wedge pillows offer basic elevation but little else. They’re a solid first attempt at reducing snoring, but they just don’t go far enough in terms of total-body support and comfort.

The Snorinator: A Posture-Based, Snore-Fighting Powerhouse

Now for the star of the sleep show: The Snorinator. This isn’t just an angled pillow. It’s an upright sleep system built to cradle your head, neck, and back in a way that actively keeps your airways open, without the stiff, ramp-like feel of a wedge.

It promotes better posture while you sleep, aligns your spine, and encourages deeper, quieter rest. Plus, it’s super comfortable—and yes, totally travel-friendly.

Why the Snorinator Comes Out On Top

• 360° support: The Snorinator doesn’t just lift you up—it holds you up, keeping your head, neck, and upper back properly aligned.

• Designed for snorers: Every angle and cushion is optimized for one thing—better breathing during sleep.

• Comfort-forward: Memory foam, breathable materials, and an ergonomic design mean you actually want to sleep upright.

• Kid-friendly options available: Got a little snorer in the house? There’s a smaller Snorinator just for them.

Unlike the wedge pillow, the Snorinator is made specifically for people who want to reduce snoring without sacrificing comfort or support. You won’t slide down it. You won’t wake up sore. You’ll just… sleep better.

Why Comfort Matters

Here’s the thing: if your anti-snoring solution isn’t comfortable, you won’t use it. And that’s where the Snorinator wins. We designed it to support the natural curve of your spine, take pressure off your lungs, and cradle you like a cloud so you don’t even realize you’re sleeping upright.

Wedge pillows might check the box for elevation, but the Snorinator checks all the boxes—comfort, support, portability, and real, sleep-improving results.

The Verdict: Which Should You Choose?

If you just need elevation and don’t mind a rigid sleeping experience, the wedge pillow might work—temporarily. But if you’re looking for long-term snore relief and a better night’s sleep, the Snorinator is worth every inch of the upgrade.
