According to the American Medical Association, 25 percent to 50 percent of American adults snore regularly and some 90 million report snoring at one time or another. While the cause for each person can vary, one way everyone can combat it is by finding the best mattress for snoring<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The right mattress firmness and material can help your snoring in a few ways,\" says Sleepopolis Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Raj Dasgupta. \"The first is that a mattress that is comfortable for you will promote healthier and better sleep, which will combat issues associated with snoring like poor sleep. It may also help you get better sleep if you are sick or temporarily experiencing a blockage to your airways. Second, a mattress that is pressure relieving, firm enough, and contouring can help promote spinal alignment and head positioning that help keep airways open, thus helping to reduce snoring.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sleepopolis has helped more than 12,544 people find a mattress, and I kept Dr. Dasgupta's words in mind when choosing the best mattresses for snoring. Below, I'll go over my top picks, then end the roundup by diving into the health effects of snoring, what might lead to it, and some other ways you can prevent it. <\/span>I tried to include a variety of options here, in addition to accommodating a variety of budgets; the beds here range from $1,199 to $3,570 for a queen size before any discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re a back sleeper, one method you can try to combat snoring is switching to your side<\/strong>. This opens up your airway and can assist in easing your breathing. The Helix Midnight could be a good mattress for this, as it\u2019s a good fit for back sleepers and side sleepers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n A medium-firm mattress, the Helix Midnight is a hybrid bed constructed with a combination of memory foam and individually wrapped coils. The mattress\u2019 hybrid construction<\/a> is a boon for hot sleepers, with the coils leaving plenty of room for airflow.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n When testing this mattress, I used a pressure map to track areas of high, moderate, and low pressure. Our device maps out areas of tension by color (red and orange for high pressure, yellow for moderate, green and blue for low). While lying on the Midnight, I found the springs at the bottom of the bed create enough support to keep back sleepers\u2019 spines in a neutral alignment, while the foams give side sleepers the pressure relief they need at their shoulders and hips. The map showed low pressure in the back sleeping position, and lower pressure while side sleeping (with just a touch of pressure at the hip). Overall, it gave me a balanced feel while laying on it, which is why the Helix Midnight can appeal to snorers of two different sleeping positions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Several of the Helix Midnight shoppers selected this mattress because of Helix's 30-second Sleep Quiz, which I recommend trying if you're curious about which of Helix's hybrid beds is best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our full Helix Midnight mattress review<\/a> or click here<\/a> for our best deal.

Check out our other picks for the best mattresses<\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n We think that the DreamCloud Premier mattress is an extremely comfortable bed for back sleepers, thanks to its layer of individually wrapped innerspring coils<\/strong>. These springs are supportive enough to keep you lifted, with the spine in a neutral alignment.<\/span> Our pressure map test showed low pressure buildup in this sleeping position, with the map's graphic showing almost entirely blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The DreamCloud Premier Rest also has these coils and a hybrid construction, but its foams are softer, especially its layer of contouring foam and a stretch of quilted memory foam up top. This makes it another mattress that\u2019s pressure relieving enough for side sleepers. Anyone looking to switch between the two positions in order to get rid of their snoring should take note.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Many of the reviews are positive, particularly for those who appreciate a firmer feel. Something to be wary of: several shoppers noted that as hot sleepers, the Premier Rest did sleep a bit warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our full DreamCloud Premier Rest mattress review<\/a> or click here<\/a> for our best deal.

Check out our other picks for the best mattresses for back sleepers<\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n The Nectar Luxe is similar to the DreamCloud Premier Rest in that it\u2019s an upgraded version<\/strong> of another mattress \u2014 in this case, the <\/span>original Nectar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, we have the Nectar\u2019s thick memory foam, but with a lot more pressure relief and softness, which makes it an excellent choice for side sleepers who snore. They should appreciate how well the therapeutic memory foam contours their shoulders and hips, where they put the most pressure. Of course, I wouldn't recommend this bed to side sleepers without confirming it with our pressure map. I found some stellar results (only blue and green across the board), so there should be more than enough pressure relief here. Now, while side sleepers aren\u2019t advised to move to their backs to prevent snoring, I should note that the Nectar Luxe <\/span>is <\/span><\/i>a good fit for back sleepers, too \u2014 as long as they enjoy a softer feel. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, I should talk about the prominent feature that gives the Nectar Luxe's cooling ability. Despite the mattress being made entirely of foam, I found that my temperature only rose by 2 degrees after five minutes of me lying on it, indicating excellent cooling capabilities. Sleeping hot can lead to discomfort and harsher breathing, both of which may contribute to snoring. A cooler-sleeping mattress<\/a> like the Nectar Luxe help with this.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n If you're looking for convenience over everything, note that many reviews praise the Nectar Luxe's quick delivery and easy assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our full Nectar Luxe mattress review<\/a> or click here<\/a> for our best deal.

Check out our roundup of the best mattresses for side sleepers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n The WinkBed is a luxury hybrid, meaning it\u2019s similar to a mattress you\u2019d sleep on in a high-end hotel. The comfort layer is made of cushy memory foam for pressure relief, with an infusion of gel for cooling<\/strong>. Below, a layer of extra-tall coils creates a ton of support.<\/span> The tall coils give the WinkBed a traditional innerspring feel, so it\u2019s quite bouncy and responsive. If you\u2019re a snorer looking to switch from your back to your side, this makes it easy to change positions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The mattress is available in three different firmnesses: Softer, Luxury Firm, and Firmer. There\u2019s also a Plus model for heavy sleepers over 250 pounds. For snorers who might want to move to their side (or already sleep on their side), I recommend the Softer. That\u2019s because, even at its softest, the WinkBed still has a lot of support. So this is the model that will be supportive enough for back sleepers while still offering enough contouring and pressure relief up top for side sleepers<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Shoppers say that the WinkBed helped with back pain and joint pain. If you're looking for lots of pressure relief, I highly recommend either selecting the Softer or Luxury Firm options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our full WinkBed mattress review<\/a> or click here<\/a> for our best deal.

Check out our other best luxury mattresses<\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Heavy people over 250 pounds are more susceptible to snoring, and one of the most practical ways they can prevent it \u2014 or address it \u2014 is finding a comfortable, supportive mattress<\/strong>. This can keep them from sinking too far into the mattress, and thus promote clearer breathing.<\/span> I\u2019d like to direct these folks to the Titan Plus, a mattress from Brooklyn Bedding that\u2019s designed for heavy sleepers. It has an extra-tall 6-inch layer of coils at the bottom of the mattress. <\/span> And the comfort layer has a dense and responsive latex alternative foam called TitanFlex. This keeps you from feeling swallowed up by the bed. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n I brought in Paulie, who's a powerlifter and someone the Titan Plus was made for. He found this mattress to be on the firm side (a 7.5 out of 10), and more than supportive enough to handle his weight. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Titan Plus is so supportive, it can even accommodate heavy stomach sleepers, who tend to need more firmness and support than other sleeping positions. While stomach sleeping<\/a> can have some health drawbacks, it\u2019s a good position for preventing snoring. So if you want to try it out, the Titan Plus could be the bed for you. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Customers are pleased with the Titan Plus's overall value, saying that it's a supportive and quality mattress for the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our full Titan Plus mattress review<\/a> or click here<\/a> for our best deal.

Check out our other best mattresses for heavy people<\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n I\u2019ve talked a lot so far about changing from back sleeping to side sleeping in order to not snore. As easy as that might sound on paper, it can be a challenge for some, as those sleeping positions each require different levels of support and pressure relief<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Saatva Solaire addresses this by being an adjustable airbed. It\u2019s important to remember this is different than an air <\/span>mattress<\/span><\/i>. Rather than a cheap sleeping surface that you would take camping, the Saatva Solaire is a luxury bed that inflates and deflates via a controller that adjusts a layer of flexible air chambers at the mattress' base. There are a whopping 50 different settings here, so you can change the firmness of the bed as you change your style of sleeping.<\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n As far as range goes, I found the 50 settings to span between a 6 and 7.5 on the firmness scale<\/a>. While using our pressure map, I also noticed that a firmness setting of 20 is a good number to start with if you're trying to alleviate hip pain or shoulder pain. So there's something here for sleepers (and snorers) of all stripes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Saatva's customer service seems to be top-notch. Customers rave about interactions with online representatives, phone representatives, and reps in the showroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our full Saatva Solaire mattress review<\/a> or click here<\/a> for our best deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n While back pain isn\u2019t believed to cause snoring (and vice versa), each condition may make the other one worse<\/strong>. For instance, snoring can make it harder to get a good night\u2019s sleep, which can in turn lead to back pain. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re looking for a mattress that\u2019s comfortable for anyone experiencing back pain, look no further than the Sedona Elite from Brooklyn Bedding. I found the luxuriously soft feel of the bed\u2019s three foam layers does wonders for pressure relief, but there\u2019s still enough support from the pocketed coils below to keep you properly lifted. The middle foam layer also has an infusion of gel to help you sleep cool.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n On our pressure map, I saw outstanding pressure relief in the back and side sleeping positions. Back sleeping, the foams should fill in the lumbar region and prevent tension from building up. Side sleeping, the hip and shoulder are properly cushioned, while the coils keep the body lifted. So, I think this mattress could be a match made in heaven for back sleepers and side sleepers who suffer from back pain<\/a>. Although if you sleep on your stomach, you\u2019ll likely need something firmer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Many of the top reviews of the Sedona Elite come from couples of all body types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our full Sedona Elite mattress review<\/a> or click here<\/a> for our best deal.

Check out our other best mattresses for back pain<\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n A cooling mattress can lead to more restful sleep and help you breathe easier at night \u2014 both important factors in the prevention of snoring. I found the Bear Elite Hybrid, a luxury bed boasting three firmness options, to be an especially cool mattress, thanks to <\/span>infusions of gel and<\/strong> airflow-promoting pocketed coils<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all Bear mattresses, the Elite Hybrid also offers a cover made of Celliant for an additional fee. Celliant is soft and breathable material that helps regulate your temperature, which can be purchased for an additional cost. Another interesting feature about Celliant is that some believe it to promote blood flow and assist with recovery. For this reason, Bear mattresses are popular among athletes and those who live an active lifestyle. <\/span>I should note that while I haven't tested the rehabilitative qualities of Celliant ourselves, you can read more about its clinical trials here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I found the Bear Elite Hybrid (specifically the Medium model) to be supportive enough for back sleepers<\/a> while having enough contouring and pressure relief for side sleepers (though strict side sleepers should opt for the Soft model). So, with that and the Elite Hybrid's satisfactory responsiveness score in mind, snorers should easily be able to toggle between these two sleeping positions. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n On Bear's website, combination sleepers \u2014 especially those switching between their back and side \u2014 find the Elite Hybrid to be responsive enough for shifting around with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Read our full Bear Elite Hybrid mattress review<\/a> or click here<\/a> for our best deal.

Each side of the bed has a different firmness level<\/strong>, with a Soft side that measures a 5 out of 10 on our firmness scale and a Firm side that measures a 7 out of 10. I recommend the Firm when you\u2019re sleeping on your back and the Soft when you\u2019re sleeping on your side (the optimal position for snoring).<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the foams have a different level of firmness depending on which side you\u2019re on, the mattress has a 6-inch tall core of pocketed coils, so you get a ton of support in the center of the bed no matter what. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nBest Mattresses for Snoring<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
