Sleep Position Trainer for Sleeping On Your Side | Side Sleep Trainer | Snore Stopper | Anti Snoring Device | Lightweight, Comfortable, Effective in Reducing Supine Sleep Time

This item works very well, and my loud snoring is now very soft. You can only sleep on your side with this so it is excellent for sleep apnea. For some reason when I switched from side to side during the night, the ball doesn’t wake me up. However, this item runs very small. My size is 4 petite, and I had to order the medium. When I want to hide this, I simply wear a T-shirt over it.

I’ve been looking for a solution to keep me sleeping on my side. Having previously tried air backpacks with minimal success, I was pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness of this. Unlike the air backpack, which I could still manage to sleep on my back with, the ApneaShield's unique design ensures that the ball stays perfectly in place on my back. This is also really breathable. With the air backpack, I often found myself waking up feeling overheated and uncomfortable. The ApneaShield's material allows for excellent air flow. It's a significant upgrade in terms of comfort and has made a world of difference in my quality of sleep. It's also very comfortable and barely noticeable while I'm sleeping on my side. I also no longer require a CPAP machine because of this, so long as I can stay on my side overnight. This has been a game-changer for me. It outperforms previous solutions I've tried and delivers on its promises of comfort, breathability, and effectiveness. If you're looking for a reliable way to ensure you stay sleeping on your side and want to improve your overall sleep quality, I highly recommend giving this a try.

This vest was easy and comfortable to wear. The wooden ball hurt my back. While it is a deterrent to back sleeping I didn’t anticipate that it would cause the lasting pain it did. Could have swapped out ball as recommended by other reviewers but returned instead.

On SnoreLab I'm now consistently under a score of ten - last two scores were a two and a one. Although I also tilt my bed up 6", I believe ApneaSheild is a big part of that success. I didn't tolerate a mask, so I'm grateful the Sheild works so well.

This product seems well made, and I think this would be effective in keeping you from sleeping on your back. However, I found it uncomfortable, even when using a softer tennis ball and even while lying on my side. Everyone's body is different, and you may find this not to be an issue. The product also seems expensive for what it is. At a lower price point I might have just kept it and seen if I could adapt.

Seems to work great, had it about a week. The ball wakes me up a bit when I roll onto it and it hurts my back - I suppose this is part of the design, it's supposed to be uncomfortable so you move but damn. Thinking about switching out the ball for a tennis ball. The harness thing itself is comfortable, adjustable, and holds the ball in place. I'd recommend it! Just wish I could be more comfortable wearing it when I sleep.

I was skeptical, but it really has prevented me from sleeping on my back.

For those reviewers who found that this didn't work well: perhaps your mattress is too soft, so that the ball sank in and wasn't uncomfortable enough to keep you on your side. Lose the mattress topper, or get a firm one. This thing WORKS. Even if you succeed in rolling onto your back and getting in a couple of snores, the discomfort will catch up to you pretty quickly on a moderately firm mattress (and yes, I did this experiment myself). It's hard to believe I'd write such a positive review for a product that has made me so miserably uncomfortable and changed a deeply engrained, lifetime habit and preference - starting on night one. But apnea is deadly, and it turns out that I want to live to a healthy old age slightly more than I want to sleep on my back. The Snore Lab app told me that I snore like a wild boar. A sleep study told me that I stop breathing 100 times per night, nearly always when I'm on my back. So it was CPAP or side sleeping. This device is cheaper than CPAP, so I tried it first. It's been a month, and the change is profound. Yes, my neck, back, and hips are complaining a lot, since they are not used to this position, but it's getting better and I'm tinkering with pillows. So if you're uncomfortable initially, well, yeah, you're supposed to be! It hurts to roll onto a big hard ball! If you need more discomfort, there's room for an additional tennis ball in there with the cork ball. I will say that the straps are intended for a bigger person than I am, and I need to tighten them regularly, as they tend to slip. Also, the shoulder/over the head part is too loose, so I do have a few problems with stability. But it is far more secure, and comfortable to wear, when snug than I imagined. This thing is totally worthwhile!

I'm really impressed with this device. I've been using it for a week now, and my AHI/Sleep Apnea numbers have dropped from between 5 and 10 down to between 0 and 1, which is a fantastic improvement. Turns out that nearly all my sleep apnea problems result from me sleeping on my back, and when I'm on my side, it is generally okay. The device is extremely neat and well made. It fits quite easily. I found it a bit uncomfortable, but I'm gradually getting used to it. The only thing I've noticed so far is that I have less deep sleep. But I think when I'm totally used to it, it will just be perfect. If you think sleeping on your back is a problem, then I would 100% recommend this.

apneashield + throat/tongue exercises = medium apnea is totally gone

This really works well. I’ve been using it for months now and it prevents me from unconsciously reverting to sleeping on my back during the night. It’s comfortable to wear and it’s made from good quality material. My partner has noticed a massive improvement with my snoring now that I use this product to help keep me sleeping on my side. I highly recommend. I also use a Somnowell device which is a game changer

It is all about a veste with a ball. A hard one! The ball. It can break your bones if you are not conscious about it when you sleep. Way to expensive for what it is and it’s purpose. I would rather send it back but I paid already extra 10 € for taxes oversiees. They ask me to send a pic from the receipt and I will have my money back but I didn’t know they offer this service and I’ve thrown it away. What can I say? Did I mention it is expensive?🥲

It is excellent. Can’t believe that My sleep apnoea completely disappeared
