If your partner elbows you at 2am — or you're the one lying awake listening to them — the answer might not be earplugs or separate bedrooms. It might be the pillow.
Here's what most couples never connect: a worn, flat pillow lets your head tilt back and your chin drop, which narrows the airway. That's the snore that's keeping the person next to you awake.
The right contour keeps your head and neck aligned so the airway stays open — quieter nights for them, deeper sleep for you, and a lot fewer 2am elbows.
