Aldi is offering a £9.99 anti-snore pillow that has shoppers buzzing with excitement. The supermarket's customers say they "need" Silentnight's anti-snore anti-allergy pillow, which is "independently tested to reduce snoring."
The product description explains that the antibacterial pillow "may help reduce snoring by aligning spine and neck" and "allows air to pass freely through the throat and preventing vibrations." Showcasing the product, Aldi added: "Have a silent night and restful sleep with the help of this Anti-Snore Pillow." Judging by the buzz on social media, many shoppers are desperate to try it out.
Customers were incredibly excited about the product when Facebook page Money Saver By Dansway shared a popular post showcasing it. The post read: "Anti-Snore spotted at ALDI this morning..!" and it attracted hundreds of comments, with numerous people tagging friends and family, recommending they pick up the anti-snore pillow, reports the Mirror.
Comments included playful jabs like: "You need about 50" and "I'm buying you 36!!!" Others said: "Need these for you" and "please purchase these." Someone else tagged a fellow social media user, joking: "Might get use some for your birthday," while an enthusiastic shopper commented: "I need these with you. Never get a good night's kip."
Baby Deal UK received similar attention after sharing a post highlighting the pillow. One social media user told a friend: "Get yourself to Aldi asap." Another echoed the sentiment, saying: "These are perfect for you."
The NHS says that snoring is very common. Fortunately, it's not usually caused by anything serious. There are measures you can take that might help you stop snoring, including lifestyle changes such as losing weight if you are overweight and sleeping on your side. The NHS suggests stitching or taping a tennis ball to the back of your sleepwear to prevent you from sleeping on your back.
Furthermore, the NHS advises against smoking, drinking, and taking sleeping pills, which could cause snoring. If you have any health concerns, it's recommended to see a GP.
The NHS says you should see a GP if:
- lifestyle changes are not helping your snoring
- your snoring is having a big impact on your or your partner's life
- you feel sleepy during the day, your breathing stops and starts while you sleep, or you make gasping or choking noises while you sleep
Daytime sleepiness or making gasping or choking noises while asleep could be signs of sleep apnoea, a condition where your breathing stops and starts during sleep. The NHS says sleep apnoea can be serious if it is not diagnosed and treated.
If your GP suspects sleep apnoea, they'll likely refer you to a specialist sleep clinic for tests. You might be asked to wear devices that check your heartbeat and breathing overnight.
Normally, you can complete these tests while you're sleeping at home, but it's possible you may need to stay in the clinic overnight.
