Model 2024 Side-Sleeping Backpack from WoodyKnows, Alleviates Snoring and Sleep Issues Caused by The Back-Sleeping Position, Anti Snoring Solution, Snore Aid Device (S)

Desperate to stop snoring and getting terrible sleep this has been the single best solution I’ve found. I’ve tried CPAP, had three sleep tests including in lab and this weird and quite frankly hilarious device has helped more than anything. My wife and kids just joke dads going skydiving again.

I did not get to try as it was too difficult to get on. I am in my fifth year recovering from a stroke. I purchased this on the recommendation from my sleep doctor.

This product is actually great. I tried a smaller mesh vest with a stitched in tennis ball first and it did the job but hurt and would wake me up. This backpack looked too bulky to me but I finally tried it and still use it. It's actually really light weight and does not wake me up like the tennis ball style did. It's worth it and easily flattens down to travel with.

It’s super uncomfortable to sleep with at night. Couldn’t keep it on my back during the night. I tried it with only straps across the chest and waist and since the straps are elastic I was still able to turn to my back

A bit difficult since I too a lot, but my snoring has definitely decreased…I’m also using nose dilators and sinus meds, but it beats the heck out of CPAP…

I've only worn this for a few nights, and so far, I'm impressed. The attached image is from SnoreLab, and I have never seen my score so low. I don't have previous data, but I often hit Epic snoring levels with a significant amount of Loud in the mix. The results pictured are amazing, and I'm very happy with them. My Apple watch often says my overnight blood oxygen is around 90%, and when I use my backpack, it goes up to 93%. I live at 7,000 ft above sea level, so that will not improve too much unless I move. I have been diagnosed with mild sleep apnea, and my Dr. said the best thing would be to sleep on my side, and the backpack accomplishes this. I find the backpack comfortable, and it does not interfere with sleeping. It's not summer, so I can't say anything about it being hot. This is a great purchase if you're looking to stop snoring or have help with mild sleep apnea. I highly recommend getting a snoring app so you have data to confirm how well it's working.

This backpack works great for keeping you on your side. But it gets very uncomfortable after a few hours. I'm a skinny girl- not much padding. The seams where the shoulder straps meet the waist belt are rather thick and lumpy - woke up with rather painful pressure point pain at the those seam locations. Would recommend if your padded a bit but not if skinny. Hope they try to minimize the seam points down and make them smoother - then would buy again.

The product is well made and does the job of forcing you to lie on your side. In contrast to other reviews, my item had no unpleasant smell whatsoever. What one should realize is that a device that blocks you from lying on your back also makes it hard to turn over from side to side. Now did my snoring disappear - not really, as I am capable of snoring on my side as well, but not as much.
