Aldi shoppers are impressed with a £10 anti-allergy product that’s designed to help alleviate snoring
Aldi is selling a £9.99 anti-snore pillow that shoppers are convinced they “need.” The retailer stocks Silentnight’s anti-snore anti-allergy pillow, which is “independently tested to reduce snoring,” and shoppers couldn’t be more excited.
According to Aldi’s product description, the antibacterial pillow “may help reduce snoring by aligning spine and neck” and “allows air to pass freely through the throat and preventing vibrations.”
Advertising the product, Aldi added: “Have a silent night and restful sleep with the help of this Anti-Snore Pillow.” It’s something plenty of shoppers are keen to do, based on the response to various viral posts about the pillow.
In one popular post, the Facebook page Money Saver By Dansway wrote: “Anti-Snore spotted at ALDI this morning..!” It received hundreds of replies from interested viewers, with many commenters tagging loved ones, suggesting they invest in an anti-snore pillow.
One such comment read: “You need about 50.” A second viewer told someone: “Need these for you.” Another response said: “I’m buying you 36!!!”
A different response read: “Please purchase these.” Someone else teased: “Might get use some for your birthday,” and a keen shopper wrote: “I need these with you. Never get a good night’s kip.”
Elsewhere, Baby Deal UK also showcased the pillows in a post, and they proved popular once again. A viewer told someone: “Get yourself to Aldi asap.” A similar response read: “These are perfect for you.”
According to the NHS, snoring is very common; it’s not usually caused by anything serious; and there are steps you can take that might help you stop snoring.
These lifestyle changes include trying to lose weight if you are overweight and sleeping on your side. To do this, the NHS says you could stitch or tape a tennis ball to the back of your sleepwear to help prevent you from sleeping on your back.
The NHS adds that you should not smoke or drink, and you shouldn’t take sleeping pills, as these may cause snoring. 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
You should also see a GP if you have any concerns about your health.
Feeling sleepy during the day or making gasping or choking noises while you sleep could be signs of sleep apnoea, which means your breathing stops and starts while you 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 testing.
