Mack's Airmax Snoring Nasal Breathing Device

I found it good. Took a few nights to get used to it. Have not had it long enough to comment further. (Posted on 10/3/20 )

Apart from painful and possibly not always 100% corrective surgery, this device can help a great deal. I had an operation to correct a deviated septum but a year after the operation i found out that i was breathing from my mouth more. I got up at night with a dry mouth and had to sip water. When I saw a sleep clinic they quickly diagnosed me with sleep apnoea and I bought a machine. However the pressure needed for me to sleep well was low. This meant that there was a mild blockage in my nostrils. Instead of another operation I tried Mack's Airway Snoring Nasal Breathing Device (I don't snore though) and found that it pushed open my nostrils so that i could get a good flow of air. It was uncomfortable for a night or so but my nose is used to it now. I also recommend that you spray saline into your nose to moisturise the nasal passages before you insert the device and once a day you do a nostril douch to get rid of any mucus in your nose. Its a great device and worth trying! (Posted on 3/12/19 )

This was purchased for my husband as one side of his nose has been closed for some years and getting worse where he was never having a good night sleep. He now has a great sleep and is getting up earlier and feeling fresher. Brilliant! (Posted on 8/11/19 )

Worked well apparently.. no complaints of snoring. Alas buying the size recommended, medium. Easy to insert and the little bar stops them from going to far into he nasal passage, comfortable even though the nostril is pushed out. The item did not stay put and I woke finding it in the bedclothes for many morning's. I know longer have the Airmax as when I made the bed and looking for Airmax my dog found it first and chewed it. What is the difference between the small size and the medium? Won't buy another set if they won't stay in. (Posted on 3/11/19 )

I've only been using this for a week but the early signs are promising. Snoring has decreased but not gone away completely, though i didn't expect it to. The first few nights were a bit uncomfortable but I don't really notice it now. Note that it needs to be replaced every 90 days. (Posted on 21/10/19 )

This was terrible. It kept falling out of my nose. I ordered medium size but they sent small. Didn't realise until it kept falling out and I checked packet. I have to shove it high up my nose to keep it in then it blocks my breathing. (Posted on 31/7/19 )

My husband said it actually made me snore worse. (Posted on 20/5/19 )

I have a deviated septum and while its not a perfect solution it does improve my sleep overall, The device is soft and firm where necessary so personally its comfortable to use though you might require some adjustments throughout the night for better positioning within the nostril cavity, overall its well worth the purchase as there seems to be a 30-35% increase in airflow which can make a huge difference to sleep quality.

A few remarks or suggestions for the manufacturer would be a longer bridge between the two pad like surfaces that part the nostrils, I believe its 6mm, however my septum is rather closed and a wider bridge would be more beneficial to me and others with varying degrees of nostril circumference, a wide bridge would also make for a tighter fit and therefore the device will move less throughout the night and the need for adjustment will diminish.

A wider bridge would also make it possible to create a device for use in only one nostril as it wouldn't need support from the other half of the device to hold its position since it will be tighter and more rigid in its place, this is great since a deviated septum only occurs in one nostril typically and there is no need to obstruct a healthy nostril with any inserts.

Its a good and much needed device however I believe it can be ever better with some small refinements. (Posted on 10/1/19 )

It's made well, the little container is made well & very handy for hygeine etc, doesn't have an any odour which is important considering where is it worn, I am disappointed it didn't work for me, had no improvement in sleep whatsoever, so unfortunately not for me. (Posted on 7/1/19 )

I needed to play with it a bit to find the best position but when I get it right it makes a big difference in my sleep. (Posted on 6/12/18 )

I've only had the device for 10 days now but already there's a marked improvement in my sleep patterns. My wife is happy with the reduced snoring as well. (Posted on 20/11/18 )

It works surprisingly well. Very simple, unobtrusive and quite comfortable. Would recommend trying it. (Posted on 2/9/18 )

It works. It literally allows me to breath without my mouth. I sleep through the night and wake with energy. Something I haven't experienced in years. My partner confirms my snoring is better. (Posted on 10/8/18 )

Well made and packaged unfortunately a bigger size would have been my preferred option, (Posted on 15/7/18 )

Works in tandem with chin strap - but still feeling tired - maybe too early (Posted on 5/3/18 )

Good, only had it fo 1 week but it makes a difference. (Posted on 16/10/16 )

I find works well but the last one i bought had 2 in box for same price (Posted on 28/9/16 )

I'm still getting used to this so I'm not sure yet on how effective it is. Once it's on/in its pretty comfortable and it does change your breathing ability, not sure if it helps snoring though. (Posted on 4/4/16 )
