My wife monitors my snoring. She reports that it is improved by about 50-70%. I am fairly sure that I snore for multiple reasons including this one. Allergy is another... and so taking Benedril or whatever helps further. I am fairly convinced that this was a 1st order cause with perhaps 2 other additive causes thrown in... no wonder this is so hard to beat. However, it at least partially convinced me that surgery on my throat was not going to address the issue.
Finally, I often find myself cheating with this product (not on purpose) by lying on my back in the middle of the pillow. I usually get a good kick for that !

Easy to disguise on a "made" bed with pillow shams.
A very tall person is unable to put arm under Sona because the bed (a queen) is not long enough to accomodate this, but the snoring was still reduced.
from Houston, TX on 5/3/2008
This is a great idea. Wonder why no one thought of it earlier. In addition to reducing snoring, I find it the most comfortable of all the numerous pillows I have used and tried. Expensive but worth the price for me.
from New York, NY on 5/2/2008
Seems to work so far! Haven't snored as much but it does seem to work!!
from Lansdale, PA on 5/2/2008
I used to snore a lot but that stopped the first night I used the Sona pillow. It does take a week or so to break the pillow in but it has become very comfortable.
from Virginia Beach, VA on 4/26/2008
I purchased this pillow so I could get some sleep when my husband used it and stopped snoring. Unfortunately, he found the pillow uncomfortable & hard, and could not conform to the design. I am still sleeping with earplugs! :(
from New Jersey on 4/26/2008
it seems to help reduce snoring
from El Cajon, CA on 4/25/2008
I bought this pillow for my husband ... it works! He seldom snores any more .... it's heavenly!
from san jose on 4/25/2008
product should come with instructions or atleast some information on how it came to be.
from Augusta, GA on 4/25/2008
After reading several reviews of this product I bought it. I snore regularly, but don't have apnea. After years of light sleep, or waking myself up with my own snoring, and trying a variety of throat sprays, not much worked. When I first tried the pillow, it was hard for me to get used to, because I normally slept on my back (the reason why I snored in the first place). But after a while I got used to it and got a really good night's sleep within a week. After over a month, it feels normal, and I'm sleeping like I haven't in years. My wife is happier, now that she doesn't have to "prod" me to roll over.
from boston, ma on 4/25/2008
it's pretty comfortable, not sure if it helps w snoring but good for regular pillow anyway
from Morristown, NJ on 4/20/2008
Seems to reduce snoring...sleeping better, longer
from Irving, TX on 4/19/2008
Great for side sleepers - - easy to sleep on either side. The stuffing seems to squish to the top of the pillow during the night.
Overall, I think the pillow is good but expensive.
from Chicago, IL on 4/14/2008
I bought this pillow after seeing the advertisements and reading the reviews on here. I used to use a CPAP machine for sleep apnea, but after a recent sleep study, my neurologist told me that it was so mild I no longer needed the machine. This was great news, however, my husband has been losing sleep due to my snoring for a number of years. I have been told that I snore very loud and all night long.
As others have said, there is a break-in period for this pillow. It was a bit uncomfortable the first few nights but my husband and I were both amazed when I woke up that first morning and he said I didn't snore at all.
The one thing I dislike about it is that my arms fall asleep depending on which arm goes under the pillow. It usually wakes me up and I will just switch to the other side. However, this is a small price to pay for a night of restful sleep. I have felt more refreshed in the mornings since I started using it. It is a bit pricey for a pillow but it is well worth it.
I'm 6 months pregnant and have come to the stage where I am no longer sleeping comfortably. As a result, I was having a very difficult time falling back to sleep once awakened because of my husbands snoring. In 4 years, this had never been an issue - I was able to sleep right through it. Many nights, I just chose to sleep on the couch. In a desperate attempt for some good sleep, I purchased this for my husband and the first night, slept wonderfully! Low and behold, the second night of sleep was even better. He says he is sleeping well, too, so we are both happy campers. The snoring has been cut down to almost nothing!! My husband says this pillow saved our marriage!!
from MN on 4/12/2008
A little wider than what I would consider comfortable. Helps put me in a position to sleep better, but could probably be accomplished with other pillows. For me, pillow is too thick and causes neck issues the next morning.
from Portland, OR on 4/11/2008
It didn't eliminate my snoring, maybe reduced it somewhat.
from Rogers, AR on 4/11/2008
I ordered this pillow for my husband. We had a difficult time finding a pillow for him that would be comfortable when he slept on his side and would help with his snoring. He has been using the pillow for a month and we are both finally getting a good nights sleep. His snoring is much better.
from port orchard, wa on 4/11/2008
i bought this pillow for my husband, i am not sure if it stopped his snoring but he says its a comfy pillow.
from Pittsburgh, PA on 4/11/2008
I purchased this pillow because when I go to visit my daughter I am painfully aware that my snoring can be heard by everyone. I think this is a great idea and design, and like that it comes with a plastic case that I can take with me when I travel, but I really wish that the pillow was not as firm, it is very hard for me to find a comfortable sleep position because of it being so hard.
from Orlando, FL on 4/11/2008
We bought this for my husband. After 25+ years of marriage, his snoring is not a problem FOR ME. The alignment of his head, nose and throat with this pillow eliminates almost all snoring whiles he sleeps. This is the nicest gift he has given me, and I love the pillow and I love my husband for buying it..
from Greencastle, IN on 4/11/2008
For it to work right you do have to sleep with your arm under the pillow and somewhat more above the head than I am used to. As long as you stay in that position it seems to help with snoring too. But I toss in the night and when I try to roll over on my back the pillow wakes me up--but then, that is the point of the whole thing I think. It is designed so that your head turns to the side. It is comfortable once you get used to it but it takes a few nights to get used to.
from Griffin, GA on 4/5/2008
The pillow required shaping before use. It takes a long time to get used to sleeping in this position. Sleeping with your arm outstretched upward takes up space, King bed suggested.
from Lehigh Valley Pa on 4/5/2008
It took a little getting used to and it is WIDE, but I like using it now and it seems to work.
from North Carolina on 4/5/2008
My husband uses this to help cut down his snoring and it works, when he uses it. I am able to fall asleep sooner now that he uses this pillow.
from CT on 4/4/2008
I'm not a loud snorer but my partner is a light sleeper. Not the most comfortable pillow. But it works if you stay on it. Sometimes I find myself tossing it aside. It is a little large for a full or queen size bed because you only sleep on half of the pillow and the other half takes up space between you or on the nightstand.
from Beverly Hill, Ca. on 4/2/2008
I don't snore, I just love sleeping on it, when I wake up I'm on the same side , that I started with. Great pillow.
from mid atlantic on 3/29/2008
Strange shape, hard to use pillow case with it
from Beverly, MA on 3/28/2008
I have used the Sona pillow to decrease my snoring and sleep better. I have used it for a month now and my wife says the snoring is much better. I feel like I sleep better as well.
I will say the head position at either end of the pillow leads to some space problems in the middle of the bed when I turn over.
from Minnesota on 3/28/2008
So far so good.
from Palm Coast, Florida on 3/28/2008
My husband suffers from sleep apnea. He was tested and found to have severe sleep apnea, then had to return to the sleep apnea center to learn how to use an oxygen mask. He tried very hard to get use to it but he felt like he was suffocating. I suggested the soma pillow and from the first time he used the pillow he got a good nights sleep.
from Naperville, IL on 3/28/2008
-To my surprise it reduced my snoring.
-It is very comfortable.
-Only drawback is the shape when making the bed, because it looks odd with cover over it.
from Naples, FL on 3/21/2008
still snore but sleep well
My husband was skeptical, but I was at the end of my rope with his snoring and had tried other solutions. This pillow really works. It has eliminated most of the snoring and, even when there is occasional snoring, it is soft. Thank you!
from Washington on 3/5/2008
I waited awhile to review the pillow so I could see (hear) how it worked over time. My husband's snoring has decreased. The pillow forces side sleeping, so that helps to start with! The snoring has not stopped, but it is not as loud or constant. I'm very glad I got it!!
Admitedly, it looks a little wierd, but it works. Such a relief to be able to sleep longer periods of time with much less disturbance. Husband agrees.
from Mundelein, Illinois on 3/3/2008
Odd shape not withstanding, my husband found the Sona Pillow to be quite comfortable and required no adjustment time.
Best part, it really, most emphatically, works!
Let the Zssss roll!
my husband is into day 5 and NO SNORING i can't believe how great this works, we both get to sleep in the same bed now its great wish i had bought it sooner and I will continue to buy this pillow.great great great.
My husband heard about this pillow and told me to send for one ( he is NOT one for buying ANY THING ) I did order one and HE really likes it. It is working for him he has been using the pillow for about a week now. He said he can breath better now and feels better when he gets up in the morning. He still snores BUT not as loud as it was before the pillow. To me he is even looking better in the mornings does not look as tired as he did before using the pillow. I am ordering another pillow today for me because I also have trouble sleeping and sleep apnea I hope it works for me as well.
Thank you
from Marina,CA. on 3/1/2008
These pillows really work My husband & I could not sleep together due to both of us snore VERY loud. The first night was inncredible. I really cant believe it works. Well worth the money!!!

Missing an instrctuion sheet - all you have to go by is the picture on the cardboard surround- face in or out when on side? Large tail up/down vs the small tail up / down. Some releif noted crushes easily.
from Oakley, CA on 3/1/2008
This pillow has really helped with my husband's sleep apnea. He is getting a better night's sleep, and so am I.
from Ringwood, NJ on 2/29/2008
My wife no longer wakes me up complaining of my snoring. It does however create a problem making the bed.
from New York on 2/29/2008
Tried everything from breathe right strips to other "pillows" nothing worked. It's been a chronic issue for me for years and my partner was being kept up at night. Got the pillow and the first night there was no snoring. None, zero, been that way since I got it. Now if i don't fall asleep on the pillow my partner nudges me to put my head on it and immediately i'm silent. Also my neck feels better and I don't wake up as much during the night. I have no idea how it works but it's amazing.
from Santa Cruz, CA on 2/29/2008
It takes some getting used to but can be comfortable on the shoulder
from Traverse City, MI on 2/27/2008
A skeptic to anything saying "stops snoring" but I gave it a try! Gave it to my husband for Christmas 2007 and we have slept (all night) in the same bed ever since that day. A few nights a week he would take "the walk of shame" to the snore room...it has not become the guest room. We love the pillow and have recommended to many friends who have also had positive results.
from Ellicott City, Maryland on 2/27/2008
I've had one for two months and my wife has not "punched" me at all. Does it come in a travel size? I need one that I can easily pack in a suitcase.
from midwest on 2/24/2008
I'm pretty sure I have sleep apnea but I don't want to do the sleep study and doubt I would would wear a cpap mask. My wife used to elbow me to get me to roll on my side and stop snoring. This pillow pretty much makes you lay on your side. Now we both are getting better sleep. Not 100% but still improvement for not much money or inconvenience.
from Atlanta, GA on 2/24/2008
Worked for me!! My snoring has reduced tremendously. My wife is very pleased and sleeps much better at night. The edges by the arm pouches are very comfortable to sleep against, although the center is much higher and stiffer, like a study pillow.
from Mt Vernon, Maine on 2/23/2008
occasionally still possible to balance flat on back and snore. 90% improvement. Better quality sleep, more restfull sleep
from Little Rock, AR on 2/22/2008
Really reduces snoring but have to get head just right on the edges of the pillow. Was also very pleased how supportive the pillow was of my neck
from san Francisco, CA on 2/19/2008
I sleep with this pillow. It has taken some time to get used to and isn't the most comfortable at first. when I can't sleep I still reach for my trusty old mushy pillow. I love the design but extra pillow cases are expensive and you must buy them here because of the unusual shape.
I absolutely think this is a great product. My significent other says I have not snored since the first night I used the pillow, beginning on the first night. A little awkard the first few nights, but well worth it. I highly recommend spending the big bucks for this great product. Thank you Brookstone.
I have been snoring for the past 30 years and last night using the pillow was the first night in 30 years both my wife and I slept through the night!! This pillow is AWESOME!! Good bye Breathe Rights!!!
from Houston, TX on 2/17/2008
Bought the Soma pillow for myself initially having been diagnosed with mild obstructive sleep apnea and unable to wear C-pap mask. Was not effective for my particular problem, but my husband uses it and it does a decent job of suppressing his snoring on most nights. Not sure why it doesn't work 100% of the time, but it has greatly reduced the incidence of my sleepless nights due to HIS snoring!
from Scituate, MA on 2/16/2008
The Sona Pillow is like wrestling with an anaconda at first. You have to find the right position for your head and shoulders. But when you get the hang of it, you fall asleep very quickly and you stay asleep for most of the night. My wife says I still snore (more softly) but I do not have the gasping episodes that wake her up. So the Sona Pillow works pretty well for both the user and the sleep mate. I have not gotten the opinion of my cats yet.
from Alaska on 2/15/2008
Actually works but took a 5 nights to get used to the different neck position while sleeping
from Martinez, CA on 2/12/2008
This pillow has cut my husband's snoring and uneven breathing dramatically. He says he is sleeping deeper than ever before and waking more rested.
from Connecticut on 2/12/2008
My husband says I have just about stopped snoring since I started using the pillow. It took some getting used to the first few nights, but since then it's been fine
from Colorado Springs, Co on 2/10/2008
I use pillow to support neck while side lying. This has virtutally eliminated my shoulder pain
from Lenoir, NC on 2/10/2008
It did not take long to get used to the uncoventional design of this pillow. It really does work for me in cutting down (if not eliminating) snoring so loud that I woke myself up! I can now sleep for long periods without waking myself up.
from Belmont, MA on 2/10/2008
The Soma Pillow works! Thanks to it, I sleep more peacefully, as does my husband. I'm thinking of getting him one too! It's great for side sleeping, with its cozy cut-a-ways for each of your arms to rest under the pillow. My only complaint is that it is so long that it takes up a lot of room on the bed--that's the only reason I didn't give it five stars.
from Long Island on 2/9/2008
Got it for my husband who was about to get kicked out of our room! As long as he is laying on this (without another pillow under it) he doesn't snore.
from Colorado Springs, Co on 2/9/2008
2 sons have sleep apnea-they find it beneficial to stop the sleepless periods. I have shoulder pain when lying on side & find it has relieved this pain. maybe hard to keep cover clean should come w 2 cases for ease in laundering & keeping clean
from Hambrg, NY 14075 on 2/9/2008
I use the pillow for sleep and so far, no complaints about my snoring from my Husband. Usually the man snores but he has the sleep pac machine and wanted me to get the same machine. I am trying the pillow first and with weight loss, the pillow is working.
from Hampton Roads, VA on 2/8/2008
An odd shaped pillow did not look like it would eliminate(or even reduce)my snoring or sleep apnea. But, it is so comfortable that I almost forget it is theraputic. It wasn't until I was told, by the one who sleeps next to me every night, that I have not awaken them since I received this amazing pillow. Something so simple - but it works so well. I'm amazed!
from Hernando, Florida on 2/8/2008
I understsnd from my wife of 50 years that she can finally sleep through the night without shoving or waking me. Irecommended the pillow to my son who has sleep apnia
from Dahlonega, GA on 2/8/2008
My husband's snoring had gotten worse over the past few years and sometimes kept me from getting a good night's sleep. I was also worried that he wasn't sleeping soundly because of all the times I had to nudge him to turn onto his side. But now with the Sona Pillow, he hardly ever makes even a snuffle anymore, and we both sleep like babies!
I bought this pillow two weeks ago. I found it comfortable from the first night and it has gotten more comfortable as it has worn in.
I was a very loud snorer and used to wake up in the morning with a sore throat, but since using this I have almost completely stopped snoring and I wake up feeling refreshed. In fact my wife has woken me up twice because I was too quiet.
Great product.
