Does the Pure Sleep stop snoring device, as seen on TV really work?
Yes it sure does, the principles behind it are solid and proven, but Pure Sleep, invented by Dr. Douglas Fenton is not some new scientific breakthrough as they would have you believe.
Mandibular advancement devices have been around for years, and are reported to be very effective at treating snoring and mild cases of sleep apnea for many people in the past.
MAD's have been quite popular in the US for sometime and are now catching on in the European health markets.
These custom fit mouthpieces work by positioning the jaw forward slightly while you sleep, which helps to open up your airway and reduce the soft palette vibrations that cause snoring.
Pure Sleep likes to call it "mandibular repositioning"... new buzz words are great for marketing purposes.
According to some of their literature Pure Sleep claims to be 80-90% effective in stopping snoring. It also claims to be FDA approved, and available without a prescription or a visit to the dentist.
Their TV commercial and website, puresleep.com are very slick, and you can't blame them for trying their best to market their product, but with a little research online you can find identical products that work just as good, if not better, for a fraction of their price.
You customize the fit by boiling the device in hot water for sixty seconds to soften the plastic, and then bite down on it to mold it to your mouth.
Some users will find these devices somewhat uncomfortable after a night's sleep, but compared to the CPAP mask treatment or constant poking by your spouse all night long they are a slice of heaven.
Snoring is no laughing matter, it can be a symptom of sleep apnea, a serious medical condition that should be treated by a doctor.
Even mild snoring can be a real problem, adversely affect your relationships.
Lack of quality sleep can causes accidents, ruin your health and ability to work and concentrate.
So how do we cure snoring once and for all. The fact is that there is no one size fits all solution, but mandibular advancement devices are certainly worth a look if you, or someone you love snores.
There are scores of these stop snoring mouthpiece devices available, and several are much less expensive than Pure Sleep.
Most are cheap imitations and not worth your time or money, but a couple of these mouthpieces are well constructed, come with a money-back guarantee, and are definitely worth investigating.
The Pure Sleep anti-snoring device is a quality product that works as advertised, but why pay anymore than you have to for what is essentially just a piece of plastic?
