The goodnite Anti-Snore Pillow helps people effected by snoring by using snore detection and head position sensors inside the pillow, which activate air chambers that inflate or deflate without a sound. When snoring is detected, one of the six chambers inflates and gently turns the head to the side, which reduces or eliminates snoring. In a clinical study, it alleviated snoring an average of 67 percent for participants, the company reports.
