Is MyPillow Worth It for Snorers? A Buying Checklist
People ask us whether MyPillow is worth buying when a partner snores. The honest answer is that it can be a fair budget pillow, but it was never built to stop snoring. Use this checklist before you spend the money.
Check What You Are Really Buying
MyPillow is a regular bed pillow. The company describes a shredded foam fill inside a cotton cover, and says the fill shifts as you move. Its own site listed the Classic from $29.98 and the Premium from $49.98 as of October 2026.
Nothing about that design raises your head or keeps you off your back. Those are the two things that help with snoring, so a standard pillow of any brand is unlikely to quiet it. Our guide to anti-snoring pillows explains what the research does and does not show.
Check the Guarantee Before You Order
MyPillow lists a 60-day guarantee on its guarantee page. The refund is the purchase price minus shipping, so you pay return shipping.
A return window lets you test the pillow for a few weeks. It does not cover the cost of sending it back.
Check the Health Claims
Watch the wording in ads. The consumer group Truth in Advertising reports that the company agreed in 2016 to stop claiming its pillows treat or cure diseases.
That is a reason to treat any promise about snoring, neck pain or insomnia as marketing and not as medicine.
Check Your Sleep Position
Side sleepers need more loft than back sleepers, and stomach sleepers need the least. MyPillow sells the Premium in four lofts, so you can match one to your position. Our MyPillow and Casper comparison goes into the details.
If you sleep on your back and snore, changing position will usually do more than changing pillows. Read about positional sleep apnea to see why.
Know When a Pillow Is Not Enough
Loud snoring with gasping, choking or daytime exhaustion needs a doctor, not a new pillow. A sleep study is the way to find out if you have sleep apnea. If snoring is your only problem, a mouthpiece is more likely to help, and this guide explains how they work.
