Picture: iStock/porpeller WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A SINGLE SOFA BED Don't know where to start? Here are a few important factors we took into account when compiling our roundup. Mechanism It's really important to find a sofa bed that makes it easy to convert between the two modes, and this largely depends on the type of mechanism. Here are a few different types: • Pull out: There is a hidden bed frame which needs to be pulled out, and some models might also need the frame to be cushioning needs to be removed whenever the sofa bed is being converted. • Futon: These don't have arm rests and are essentially folded up when used as a sofa, then pressed down when it's needed as a bed. • Click-clack: You can adjust the backrest to different positions, including to a flat bed. • Flip: These types of sofa beds have a hinged design which lets you flip the backrest over. Size Sofa beds are great for saving space, but keep in mind you will still need enough space for a Single or King Single mattress. Mattress Sofa beds typically come with foam mattresses but may also use a hybrid mattress, spring mattress or a memory foam mattress. They tend to be on the firmer side, so you might need to add a good mattress topper for more cushioning. Storage Some sofa beds come with hidden built-in storage which you can use to conveniently store a dedicated batch of fresh bedding for guests. Maintenance It's recommended you vacuum the sofa bed regularly and place it away from direct sunlight. HOW WE CHOOSE SINGLE SOFA BEDS Our team of experienced writers spend hours researching products to include in articles. We find out what factors make a good product by talking to experts, reviewing test results and analysing thousands of customer reviews. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Can you sleep on a sofa bed every night? You can find high quality sofa beds with mattresses similar to what you would get from a 'regular bed', although it's generally not recommended. Keep in mind they're generally designed firmer and for occasional use, so you'll need to take extra care with making sure the sofa bed has the right mattress for your needs. How can you make a sofa bed more comfortable? Sofa beds can be such a fantastic convenient addition to your home, but they don't always have the best cushioning and can feel too firm (especially if you opt for a cheaper option). A good mattress topper can make a big difference, along with some fluffy pillows and soft bedding.

10 Best Anti-Snore Pillows to Stop Snoring in 2025
Looking to solve snoring problems for you or your partner? This best-selling pillow loved by thousands will do just that. These products are hand-picked by our team to help make shopping easier. We may receive payments from third parties for sharing this content and when you purchase through links in this article. Product prices and offer details are not assured, and should be confirmed independently with the retailer. Learn more Everyone snores once in a while but when it's a continuous problem, it can be a massive pain – both for you and your sleeping partner. Sure, a quick Google search will provide you with an array of options that claim to stop snoring but one of the most effective – and affordable and convenient – ways starts with changing your pillow. That's because during sleep, your airways relax and narrow, and your tongue falls backward. As you breathe, the walls of your throat vibrate and cause the sound of snoring. Using an anti-snore pillow fixes this issue by adjusting your sleeping position, keeping your airways open, providing spinal alignment and supporting your head and neck. Anti-snore pillows are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and also offer multiple levels of firmness and support based on your individual needs and preferences. Here, we've compiled a list of the very best ones for every type of snoring sleeper, including the best-selling Ecosa pillow that reviewers say has helped reduce their partner's snoring. Plus we also got our eyes on the CushionCare Cervical Memory Foam Pillow, $69.95 at Amazon. Research suggests cervical-support pillows may help reduce snoring and support better sleep.

Perfect for side, back and stomach sleepers, the pillow also comes with an outer and inner cover to keep the foam clean and prolong its lifespan. The orthopaedic pillow is marketed as 'the best sleep you'll ever have', which sounds like a big call but is backed by over 1.8k five-star reviewers on Amazon. 'I have searched high and low for a sleeping pillow that would help me sleep,' one reviewer explained. 'Although I have only had the pillow for four days, the Cervical Memory Foam pillow is most comfortable and I have woken up refreshed. I am quite sure that in another two weeks I will still feel I made the right purchase.' Another satisfied customer wrote: 'When I opened the package I could tell it was good quality and better than my previous pillows. I've tried a few standard-shaped pillows with no relief. But CushionCare neck pillow made a difference on the first night. I slept soundly and comfortably and no more aching neck! I've had it for a month now and it's one of the best purchases I have made.' What You Need To Know The Ecosa Pillow is equally as good as the best-selling mattresses the brand is known for. It comes with three bonus memory foam pads for a completely customisable fit, so whether you're a side, back or freestyle sleeper, you can find the ideal head elevation for a restful, snore-free sleep. Plus, its ergonomic, contoured design promotes neck and spine alignment, promoting a neutral posture that reduces pain and again, unwanted snoring. The innovative pillow also comes with a handy vacuum seal and travel bag, so you never have to go a night without resting your head on your favourite bedding item. With free shipping and a 100-night trial, you can finally rest easy just like the other 12.6k five-star customers. One reviewer who uses a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine, wrote the following: 'I am a CPAP user with sleep apnoea, and this is my second Ecosa pillow purchase. These pillows are perfect for side sleepers. I had to convert myself to side sleeping beyond age 50 because of shoulder pain and acid reflux, and this amazing pillow has made the difference. I love putting the thicker side under my neck for the amazing support it gives.' A second person simply said, 'My husband loves his new pillow and has even reduced his snoring and tossing.'

The 'expertly engineered' ergonomic design is meant to help support your head, neck and shoulders while you sleep, with many customers revealing their partners stopped snoring upon snoozing on it. 'The pillow itself is very comfortable to sleep on,' one person wrote. 'My wife says I snore less with this new pillow.' One of the 4.2k five-star reviewers commented on the pillow's ability to relieve bodily pains, writing, 'This pillow is amazing! It is firm, but soft and really holds its shape. I have sooooo many neck and back issues and am a side sleeper. I can definitely tell the difference in my neck just a week into use.' The pillow also comes with a removable hypo-allergenic polyester cover for a fresh sleep, night after night. While returns or refunds aren't allowed, the pillow does come with a five-year warranty.

If you love a super plush pillow, remove the cover for softer relief and for those needing extra support, simply leave the cover on for a firmer pillow. Eva also says the pillow won't lose its shape or sag in the centre like a sad pavlova. Instead, it'll retain its shape without sacrificing the 'cloudlike' feeling. And despite its sturdy foam, it's also incredibly breathable thanks to the expertly designed airflow holes and the fact that it's been activated with charcoal to regulate moisture, remove odours and keep bad bacteria at bay. 'We've been using the Eva pillows since April 2022 and honestly they've changed our lives,' one person admitted. 'We were starting to think sore necks were a part of life but that was because we weren't sleeping on the Eva pillow. Since the first night we used them we've woken every morning without any pain and actually feeling like we got a nights sleep!' A second person wrote: 'Tried two other pillows before purchasing the Eva pillow. The Eva is soft and comfortable, no more stiff neck in the morning.'

A five star reviewer commented, 'I use them in bed at home, and in our caravan. Really helps us get a better nights sleep by elevating our heads in a more comfortable way than just pillows.'

The Koala Pillow, $155 at Koala The Koala Pillow Picture: Koala. $155 at Koala What You Need To Know The brand that's loved for its sofas and mattresses brings an anti-snore pillow set to rival the very best on the global market.

That's why the Emma Foam Pillow is the perfect long-term investment for snorers. It's crafted with a opened pored memory foam that enhances air flow and absorbs moisture along with the breathable top cover that's machine washable. Another standout feature is the adjustable height and firmness levels. For those who prefer to sleep on their stomach, you can stick to just using one layer. Back sleepers can choose between two or three layers, while side sleepers are recommended to use all three layers for ultimate support and comfort. 'After a week of sleeping on our new pillows, no more sore neck a better night's sleep. Also I have been told by my partner that my snoring has definitely decreased too, ' praised a shopper on Product Review.

What You Need To Know It's inconvenient to carry around a bulky pillow on your travels, which is why you need this compact anti-snore pillow from Habitat that also comes with a handy travel bag. Although smaller in size, it's still made with memory foam that contours softly around the head and helps align the body into full relaxation mode. The foam is also infused with bamboo charcoal, which helps eliminate odours, absorb moisture and keep the pillow fresh. Ventilated airflow holes regulate heat and help keep you cool as you sleep while travelling by train, car, plane, cruise or when camping. One reviewer wrote: 'The quality and comfort in this pillow has beaten two other options I have purchased over the years. So happy.' WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING ANTI-SNORE PILLOWS Sleep Position and Support The way your pillow supports your head, neck, and spine plays a major role in how effectively it can reduce snoring. Back sleepers may find their head tilts backward or forward, which can cause the tongue to fall back and block the airway. A pillow that gently elevates the head and supports the neck can help prevent this. • Side sleepers typically benefit from a pillow that aligns the neck and spine while keeping the airway open. • Stomach sleepers are typically advised to choose a thin memory foam pillow that offers minimal elevation to avoid neck strain and reduce obstruction. Firmness Firmness is a matter of personal preference, some people prefer a firmer pillow for more support, while others like a softer feel. If you're unsure, look for a pillow with adjustable firmness or one you can trial at home. Materials Anti-snore pillows come in a range of materials including memory foam, latex, and hybrid fills. You can also find pillows with hypo-allergenic covers and cooling features, which may help improve overall sleep quality and comfort, especially for sensitive sleepers. Ultimately, the right choice comes down to your personal preferences and sleep needs. Price Anti-snore pillows are available at a variety of price points, from more budget-friendly options to premium models. The right choice is one that fits your budget while effectively improving your sleep posture and helping reduce snoring. HOW WE CHOOSE PRODUCTS To help you find the best anti-snore pillow for your needs and budget, we asked leading General Practitioner, Dr Michela Sorensen, and Dr Paul Coceancig, Maxillofacial Surgeon and Sleep Apnoea Expert, for their expert advice and recommendations on what to look for when buying an anti-snore pillow. In addition, our shopping team read hundreds of customer reviews and looked at test results and ratings from product review sites to find the best anti-snore pillow from premium to budget to help you find the right one. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS HOW DO ANTI-SNORE PILLOWS WORK? Anti-snore pillows are ergonomically designed to support your neck and head to keep your airways as open as possible. They can also alter your sleeping position and keep you sleeping on your side, which benefits those who snore because they sleep flat on their back. Many anti-snore pillows are made with polyurethane, which is the building block of memory foam and is strong enough to keep you in position while providing support and comfort. The shape of anti-snore pillows is generally lower in the centre and higher on the sides, and some even have a cutout to stop you from rolling onto your back. It's important to note that anti-snore pillows act more like a Band-Aid for snoring problems, as opposed to directly addressing the root cause. If you, or someone you know, suffers from snoring, it's crucial to look into active lifestyle solutions like losing weight, quitting smoking, avoiding alcohol at least four hours before bedtime or treating allergies. HOW DO YOU STOP SNORING AT NIGHT? Stopping snoring is not a one-size-fits-all approach, explained Dr Sorensen. 'It depends on the underlying cause of your snoring.' If you're a regular snorer, you should consult a doctor who will be able to review your signs and symptoms and perform a medical examination so they can recommend the best treatments for your case. According to Healthdirect and Dr Sorensen, simple measures that might help include: Losing weight with diet and fitness changes Avoiding alcohol and sedatives close to bedtime Quitting smoking Avoiding sleeping on your back Treating nasal congestion Getting enough sleep Trying mouth exercises Raising the head of your bed or using an elevating pillow Dr Sorensen added, 'Your doctor may recommend splints or other devices to assist with your jaw position or breathing during sleep.' You may also be required to use a device that blows air into your nose or mouth while sleeping, Dr Coceancig noted. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the most effective treatment and involves a pump connected to a mask that you wear at night. 'This helps with inflating the collapsed airway behind the collapsing tongue,' Dr Coceancig explained. Then, there are more invasive treatments. 'Throat surgery performed by ENT surgeons can also help 'bore put the pipes' by removing tonsils or adenoids or opening up the nasal air passages to help with night-time breathing,' Dr Coceancig said. 'If you are seeking a permanent cure, you need to address the primary cause of sleep apnoea, which is almost always a small jaw and the disproportionate facial structures that a small jaw causes.' WHEN SHOULD YOU WORRY ABOUT SNORING? Nearly everyone snores occasionally, however, if left untreated or it's an ongoing problem, it can be a symptom of a bigger health problem like obstructive sleep apnoea, explained leading General Practitioner Dr Michela Sorensen. 'The warning signs of when to see a doctor include having apnoeic episodes (when you are gasping for breath in your sleep) or experiencing excessive daytime fatigue that interferes with your normal routine day-to-day activities,' Dr Sorensen told But regardless of whether snoring is a relatively new habit or a long-term one, snoring is an early sign of developing sleep apnoea, which will impact your health in alarming ways, according to Dr Paul Coceancig, Maxillofacial Surgeon and Sleep Apnoea Expert. 'In the short term, sleep apnoea can result in brain fog, lethargy, hyperactivity, excessive daytime sleepiness, somatic problems and psychological issues,' Dr Coceancig told 'Long term, sleep deficiency has been linked to cardiovascular disease and obesity and can adversely impact your respiratory, digestive and endocrine systems. Some research indicates that sleep apnoea can lower your life expectancy by as much as 15 years.' 'Other causes of snoring can include blocked nasal passages due to illness and alcohol and drug use.' And it's not just affecting your health, either. 'In addition to the impact on the snorer, snoring can impact relationships, causing frustration, resentment and damaging sleep quality for those in close proximity to the snorer,' Dr Coceancig added. Snoring is typically more frequent and loudest when sleeping on the back and this is because of gravity, according to Dr Sorensen. 'When you are on your back, gravity pushes the soft structures in your mouth and neck down, narrowing your airway. This causes turbulent airflow resulting in the snoring sound.' That's why adjusting your sleep position to lying on your side or in a more upright position can help prevent or reduce snoring.

You snooze, you save: Ecosa's epic sleep frenzy sale is slashing prices by 30 per cent sitewide
It's time to ditch the worn out sheets and saggy mattresses, Ecosa's Sleep Frenzy Sale is officially on, and if ever there was a sign to upgrade your sleep setup, this is it. From Monday, 12 May through Sunday, 18 May, shoppers can enjoy a dreamy 30 per cent off everything sitewide. That means luxury mattresses, ergonomic pillows, silky bamboo sheets, chic bedframes and even the brand's cult-favourite sofa beds are all seriously discounted. Founded in 2015, Ecosa has made a name for itself designing sleep solutions that look as good as they feel. With a focus on ergonomic design, sustainable materials and Aussie innovation, their products are built for real life and real rest. Take the Pure Mattress, for example. Usually $1,700, it's now slashed to just $1,190. This eco-friendly masterpiece is packed with contouring support, comes with a 15-year limited warranty, and a 100-night sleep trial so you can rest easy. As one glowing review puts it: 'The first mattress I have ever bought that felt comfortable from day one.' Need we say more? Or why not turn your lounge into a luxe sleep zone with the Sydney Sofa Bed, now just $1,512, down from $2,160. This multifunctional marvel transforms from sofa to bed in seconds, no tools required, and is available in six chic colourways. One happy customer raved: 'So impressed I'm probably going to buy one for the lounge and maybe even a chair for my bedroom!' For the ultimate bed upgrade, the Sierra Bed Frame is also worth a peek, stylish, double-cushioned and finished with removable, washable covers. It's a steal at $857.50, down from $1,225. Match it with the Ecosa Bamboo Sheet Set, reduced from $240 to $168. Not only are these sheets breathable and buttery-soft, but they're also 100 per cent organic and available in nine soothing shades.
