This page explains who writes the reviews on Snoring Mouthpiece Review, what each review looks at, how the scores work, and how the site earns money. It is meant to let you judge how much weight to give a review before you buy.
Who Writes the Reviews
Reviews are written by Nathan Foster, who started this site in 2016 after years of trying to fix his own snoring. That included nose surgery, a home sleep study that showed mild sleep apnea, and a custom dental-lab mouthpiece that broke after a few months. The full story is on the About page. He is a long-term mouthpiece user, not a doctor or dentist, and nothing here is medical advice.
What Each Review Looks At
Every single-product review ends up with one score out of 10, built from four parts shown in the scorecard at the top of the review:
- Effectiveness: how well the design holds the jaw or tongue forward to keep the airway open, and what the evidence in the review shows.
- Comfort: bulk, jaw soreness, drooling, gum or tooth pressure, and whether you can breathe through your mouth.
- Ease of use: fitting (boil-and-bite, adjustment steps), cleaning and how long the device lasts.
- Value: price against lifespan, the trial period and the refund terms.
Reviews also record the device type (jaw-advancing mouthpiece or tongue-stabilizing device), FDA clearance where the maker publishes it, price, guarantee and who the device suits or does not suit.
How the Scores Work
The scorecard score is out of 10. The "Overall Rating" at the bottom of a review, and the star rating search engines may show, is the same score expressed out of 5 (the score divided by two). A product never has two different ratings on this site.
What Evidence Each Review Contains
Not every review has the same depth. This table shows, for each single-product review, whether the page includes a video and whether it shows SnoreLab snoring recordings. Use it to see which reviews carry first-hand evidence on the page.

How This Site Makes Money
Most links to products on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions do not change the scores, and products without an affiliate program are reviewed too. Details are on the Disclosure page.
One relationship to know about: Nathan gave product feedback to the maker of SleepTight Mouthpiece and helped build its customer feedback form before the 2021 version launched. Keep that in mind when you read the SleepTight review and its comparisons.
