SONA FDA-Cleared Anti-Snore and Mild Sleep Apnea Pillow Review

The logic of the pillow is that if you sleep on your side, you won’t snore. But how can we make sure the sleeper sleeps on his or her side?

The genius designers of this pillow thought, “Let’s put a hole under the pillow, for the users to put their arm in, so they’ll be forced to sleep on their side.

The women will put their arm in the hole because for women, everything has to have a use: If you put wheels under the sofa, they feel obliged to roll that sofa away so they can vacuum underneath it. If you put labels on bottles, she will feel obliged to read them.

If you really want to drive a woman crazy, get your mechanic to install on your car dashboard a red button that does nothing at all. When you’re not looking, you can bet a woman would spend a good amount of time pushing that button and looking everywhere trying to find out what it does.

The men, on the other hand, will put their arm in the hole because their wives won’t stop badgering them until they do: “Honey? Honey! You’re supposed to put your arm in there. That’s what the directions said. See? It won’t work if you don’t follow directions, and we paid 56 dollars for this pillow!”

So now that users of the pillow are trapped in a side-lying position, the question is, once we’re asleep, what’s to stop us from taking our arm out of that hole? And if it’s just a matter of keeping an arm under the pillow, why couldn’t we do that with our regular pillow, which, by the way, happens to be much more comfortable and much less expensive than the SONA pillow?

The difference, we guess, is that with this pillow, there is much less pressure put on your arm than if you slept with your arm under a regular pillow. Also, the SONA pillow is uniquely shaped to prevent you from rolling over on your back, which is much too easy to do with a regular pillow.

Cons of the SONA FDA-Cleared Anti-Snore and Mild Sleep Apnea Pillow:

• You need to have your arm out of the blanket. On cold nights, you’ll probably need to wear wool knee-socks on your arms.

• Takes getting used to, but worth the effort in the end – like parenthood and flossing

Recommendation and Results

From just looking at the armholes under this pillow, you can see it was clearly designed for side sleeping. Yes, you’re supposed to put your arm into one of the holes. What else did you think they were put there for – to store beer cans, perhaps, in case you need a drink in the middle of the night?

“My husband kept elbowing me all night long, telling me I snored. Fortunately, I had my SONA pillow. I took one of the bottles I keep in the holes of my pillow and said to my husband, ‘Here,’ as I hit him on the head with the bottle. He fell right asleep, all sweet and sound, and never muttered another word complaint. Thank goodness for the SONA pillow!”

As tempting as it may be to do as this lady did, this is really not what the SONA pillow was designed for.

It was designed to keep you on your side. Does it work? Does it prevent snoring and sleep apnea?

In fact, the holes at the bottom of the pillow are just perfect for people who are naturally side sleepers. No more pinched, aching arms in the morning. It takes a few days before it gets comfortable, but that is common with anti-snore pillows.

But the biggest pro of this product is that it actually has a seal of approval from the FDA. At the price it has, which is just half of other pillows we’ve seen in this category, we at Anti-Snore Pillow Reviews cannot help but recommend the SONA FDA-Cleared Anti-Snore and Mild Sleep Apnea Pillow.
