So in the past couple of years, I developed a snoring problem (along with gaining weight...probably tied together). It's to the point where my wife wants me to sleep on the couch because she can't sleep.
Since paying for a snore preventing device is easier than changing my eating/excersing habits, I've been looking into some things.
I occassionally use Breathe Right strips. They do open my nasal passages and make breathing easier, but do nothing for snoring.
I saw a commercial for ZQuiet, which is a mouth piece that moves your lower jaw forward and opens up your throat to prevent snoring. For shits and giggles, while in bed, I held my lower jaw forward, and I can notice a difference in my breathing. I've even started snoring as I'm falling asleep, and moved my jaw and the snoring stopped. Problem is, as soon as I fall asleep, my jaw moves back to normal and I start snoring again.
So, it seems that ZQuiet would work. But, I also saw a commercial for a similar product called PureSleep. PureSleep is adjustable, and you can heat it to fit your mouth. ZQuiet is one size fits all.
I read on a consumer reviews site that PureSleep's two pieces make it more likely to break, but ZQuiet's lack of custom fitting can result in pain in the jaw. Price is about the same for both, but PureSleep gives you two mouth pieces instead of one (perhaps because they are inclined to break?).
Just wondering if anyone here has used either before I fork out $60. I think I'm leaning toward PureSleep, simply because of being able to form fit it to my mouth.
Just for reference:

Any input would be appreciated.
