An anti-snoring pillow which reduces the snoring by the user when sleeping by positioning the head of the user such that the degree of blockage in the user\s breathing passageway is reduced. The anti-snoring pillow includes a base member which is preferably inclined and has a curved front edge which is lower in height than the rear edge. The upper surface of the base member adjacent the front edge has an elongated bolster secured thereto, which bolster is curved along its length to conform to the curved shape of the front edge of the base member. The bolster also includes a curved peripheral cross-sectional area for comfortable support of a user\s neck. The bolster and the base member, and the choice of materials therefor act in conjunction to ensure comfort and also the positioning of a user\s head so as to decrease the blockage of the user\s breathing passageway when the user is in a back or in a side sleeping position.

An anti-snoring pillow having an uppermost surface and a lower surface, comprising: a compressible polyurethane foam base member having a front edge, a rear edge, a first side, a second side and a bottom surface with the rear edge of said base member being higher than the front edge such that the uppermost surface of said base member slopes downwardly from the rear edge of the pillow to the front edge of the pillow, the uppermost surface of said base member defining a portion of the uppermost surface of said pillow and said base member having a depression formed therein which is positioned in a central region of said base member and is about 1 to 4 inches deep, and said base member having a 25% ILD value of between 6 to 25; and a compressible polyurethane foam bolster having a longitudinal length formed of a mid-region and two end regions the combination of which extends from the first side to the second side of said base member, said bolster further including a curved uppermost surface for providing firm support to a neck of a user, said bolster having an initial ILD value which is lower than the initial ILD value of said base member and said bolster and base being formed of different materials, said bolster having a planar bottom surface secured to a portion of the sloping uppermost surface of said base member at a location between the front edge of said base member and the central depression formed in said base member, said bolster extending off of said base member for about 1.5 to 5 inches with the planar bottom surface of said bolster being at an incline equal to that of the uppermost surface of said base member, said bolster having the same vertical height along the entire length of said bolster such that the mid-region of said bolster is at the same vertical height as the adjacent end regions, said pillow being dimensioned and arranged such that the uppermost portion of said bolster defines the remainder of the uppermost surface of said pillow, and the uppermost portion of said bolster, when in a non-compressed state, if higher in level than the entire uppermost portion of the pillow defining the central depression, whereby said bolster and base member, when in a compressed state, exert an outward force on said neck and tilt the head of a user back so as to further open the breathing passageways of the user of said pillow.
