If you or your partner snores at night, or if you’ve been diagnosed with sleep apnoea, choosing the right pillow for snoring can make a real difference to your sleep quality — and your health. At Back and Neck Bedshop, we stock a carefully selected range of pillows for snoring and sleep apnoea pillows at our Perth showroom in Booragoon, and we also offer fast online delivery across Australia. In this guide, we explain what to look for in the best pillows for snoring and sleep apnoea, and introduce you to the specialist options available at our store.
Why the Right Pillow Matters for Snoring and Sleep Apnoea
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) are often linked to the position of your head, neck, and airway while you sleep. When your neck is misaligned or your airway becomes partially blocked, the soft tissue at the back of your throat vibrates — causing snoring — or your airway collapses entirely, causing the breathing pauses associated with sleep apnoea. According to the Sleep Health Foundation Australia, snoring affects a significant portion of the adult population and is a common symptom of obstructive sleep apnoea.
A specially designed pillow for snoring works by supporting the natural curve of your cervical spine, keeping your head in a neutral position that helps maintain an open airway throughout the night. For people using a CPAP machine for sleep apnoea treatment, a sleep apnoea pillow with CPAP-friendly cut-outs makes a huge difference in comfort and mask seal. The right pillows for snoring can complement medical treatment and improve the quality of your rest.
What to Look for in Pillows for Snoring
Not all pillows are created equal when it comes to reducing snoring. Here are the key features to consider when choosing the best pillows for snoring:
- Correct loft (height): A pillow that is too high or too low pushes your chin toward your chest or tilts your head back, both of which can narrow your airway and worsen snoring.
- Cervical support: The best pillows for snoring have a contoured or profiled shape that supports the natural curve of your neck, reducing muscle tension that can contribute to snoring.
- Breathable materials: Overheating during sleep increases restlessness and can worsen snoring, so look for pillows with cooling covers or open-cell foam.
- Positional support for side sleeping: Sleeping on your side reduces snoring for most people — a firmer pillow that keeps your spine aligned can help you maintain this position.
What to Look for in a Sleep Apnoea Pillow
If you have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea and use a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine, your regular pillow may be working against your treatment. A dedicated sleep apnoea pillow typically features:
- CPAP mask cut-outs: Recessed areas on each side of the sleep apnoea pillow allow your CPAP mask to rest without being pushed out of position, improving the mask seal and reducing air leaks.
- Side-sleeping design: Most sleep apnoea pillows encourage side sleeping, which keeps the airway more open than back sleeping.
- Neck contour support: Proper cervical alignment reduces upper airway resistance and supports effective CPAP therapy.
- Durable, washable materials: CPAP users need sleep apnoea pillows that are easy to clean and maintain their shape over time.
Our Sleep Apnoea Pillow Range — Available in Perth & Online
At Back and Neck Bedshop, we have handpicked two outstanding options that address both snoring and sleep apnoea. Both are available to try in store at our Perth showroom, or to purchase through our online shop with fast delivery across Australia.
Smart Support Pillow — Top Pick for Pillows for Snoring
The Smart Support Pillow is engineered to promote healthy spinal alignment and an open airway throughout the night. Its adaptive contour design adjusts to your head and neck position, whether you sleep on your back or side, reducing the soft-tissue vibration that causes snoring. The breathable cover helps regulate temperature, so you stay comfortable all night long. This is one of our most popular pillows for snoring and an excellent first step for anyone who wants to reduce snoring without requiring CPAP equipment.
Sleep Apnoea Pillow — Specialist Support for CPAP Users
Designed specifically for CPAP users, the Sleep Apnoea Pillow features a contoured profile with recessed areas that accommodate full-face and nasal CPAP masks. By keeping the mask seated correctly, it reduces air leaks and pressure point discomfort — two of the most common reasons people struggle to comply with CPAP therapy. The firm yet comfortable support keeps your neck in the optimal position to complement your sleep apnoea treatment and improve overall sleep quality. If you’re looking for a true specialist sleep apnoea pillow, this is it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pillows for Snoring & Sleep Apnoea
Can pillows for snoring really reduce snoring?
Yes — for many people, correctly supportive pillows for snoring that maintain cervical alignment and keep the airway open can significantly reduce snoring. While a pillow alone won’t treat diagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea, it can make a meaningful difference for positional snoring and mild cases.
What is the best sleeping position to reduce snoring?
Sleeping on your side is widely recommended as the best position to reduce snoring, as it prevents the tongue and soft palate from collapsing to the back of the throat. A firm, contoured pillow for snoring helps you maintain this position throughout the night.
Do I need a special sleep apnoea pillow if I use a CPAP machine?
A standard pillow can push against your CPAP mask during the night, causing air leaks and discomfort. A dedicated sleep apnoea pillow with CPAP cut-outs is specifically designed to accommodate your mask, making therapy far more comfortable and effective.
