The Snorinator® is the breakthrough anti-snoring pillow crafted to help promote the happy, healthy sounds of silence in your bedroom. The product was inspired by Sue and Lloyd Ecker after fifty years of marriage with the same number of sleepless nights to match, caused by Lloyd’s relentless buzz saw snoring. Finally, Sue kicked him out of their bedroom to get quality rest, and Lloyd became determined to find a solution that would keep them in the same bed. His search led to the discovery of the High Fowler Position, a medical sleeping posture developed in 1888, which Lloyd paired with a patented Hinged Head Nest™ to keep sleepers upright for improved oxygen flow and to help reduce nonclinical snoring.

Snoring is one of the most common sleep challenges, with nearly half of the adults affected occasionally and more than a quarter experiencing it regularly according to the National Institute of Health. Unlike conventional wedge or anti-snoring pillows that often fail to keep users in the proper position throughout the night, The Snorinator acts as “training wheels” to teach snorers how to sleep upright and reduce their snoring in a completely non-invasive way.

Carefully constructed at a 66-degree angle based on the High Fowler’s Position, The Snorinator positions sleepers upright to help enhance oxygen flow, circulation, and relieve neck and back pain. Its key innovation, the patented Hinged Head Nest™, creates a supportive cradle that keeps sleepers from rolling to the side or tipping the chin forward, two common culprits of disrupted breathing and discomfort.

Made entirely of CertiPUR-US® Certified Memory Foam, The Snorinator delivers both structure and softness. This high-density material creates a stable, cloud-like sleeping experience while meeting strict safety and sustainability standards. The foam is manufactured without harmful materials or heavy metals to ensure long-lasting comfort and peace of mind.

By blending a medically recommended sleeping posture with modern engineering, The Snorinator helps stop snoring and promotes the happy, healthy sounds of silence in the bedroom.
