SomniFix Review Breakdown

Made of a recyclable adhesive that’s worn over the lips, SomniFix Strips are designed to prevent snoring by keeping your mouth closed during sleep. This helps prevent the tongue from falling back and blocking the airway. The adhesive has a breathing vent that allows for some airflow in case sleepers need to breathe through their mouth at any point.

SomniFix Strips are non-invasive and designed to be suitable for most types of sleepers, including people who use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices for sleep apnea.

Materials and Options

Each SomniFix Strip is intended to be used for a single night. The strips consist of a gentle adhesive strip with a mesh vent. They are latex- and gluten-free and can be fully recycled. Somnifix offers the strips in a single size that can be slightly stretched to fit over the user’s mouth.

Pricing Information

SomniFix Strips are sold in packs that contain 28, 84, or 365 mouth strips. For someone who uses a strip every night, these packs would last 4 weeks, 12 weeks, and a year, respectively. Larger packs include a slight discount per strip.

The cost per strip is relatively inexpensive when compared to other anti-snoring products. However, due to the disposable nature of the strips, over a longer period of time the cost is likely to exceed other reusable options.

Features and Performance

SomniFix Strips effectively reduce snoring for many sleepers. The strips are available without a prescription. Although they are not a standalone treatment for sleep apnea, SomniFix Strips can be used in conjunction with a CPAP device in order to reduce mouth leaks.

As SomniFix Strips are for single use only, they require no cleaning and are relatively low maintenance. These small, lightweight strips are also easy to pack for travel.

How Do SomniFix Sleep Strips Work?

SomniFix targets mouth breathing, a common contributor to snoring. Breathing through your mouth as you sleep causes your tongue to fall back and narrow your airway. As a result of the narrowed airway, tissues may vibrate as air passes through the smaller space, creating the sound we know as snoring. SomniFix strips close the lips to encourage nasal breathing instead of mouth breathing during sleep.

A relatively recent invention, SomniFix Strips are inspired from an older method of using tape across the mouth to encourage sleepers to breathe through the nose. However, as tape completely restricts airflow, this method posed potential safety issues as well as discomfort upon removing the sticky tape.

Anti-snoring devices use a variety of techniques to open up the airway during sleep. SomniFix Strips are most similar to nasal strips and specialty pillows, which are designed to open up the nasal passage and reduce tissue vibrations without being too invasive. The difference is that these anti-snoring solutions do not prevent mouth breathing.

Tongue retainers and mandibular advancement devices can be very effective at keeping the mouth closed and encouraging nasal breathing. However, mouthpieces can cause jaw soreness and discomfort for some people. Additionally, these devices may require a prescription.Although it may take around a week to become accustomed to the feel of sleeping with SomniFix Strips, these mouth strips are tolerated by most sleepers, and they can be used in any sleeping position. As long as sleepers are able to breathe freely through their nose, the strips shouldn’t pose any challenges to breathing.

Is SomniFix Safe?

SomniFix Strips are generally considered safe for most people. However, because the strips restrict breathing through the mouth, they may pose a risk to people with certain conditions. Although SomniFix Strips do include a small vent that allows for emergency airflow through the mouth, the company recommends against using the mouth strips if you identify with any of the following:

• Those who regularly experience difficulty breathing through the nose
• Obese individuals with a BMI over 35
• People with very low blood pressure
• Those with severe heart or breathing problems
• People who currently have a cold, a sinus infection, or an ear infection
• Individuals with severely chapped lips or broken skin around the mouth
• Those who have consumed alcohol or sedatives before bed
• Children

As the material comes into direct contact with the skin and lips, SomniFix Strips may not be suitable for people with very sensitive skin.
