SnoreMender PS vs. ZQuiet
SnoreMender PS and ZQuiet look like cousins. Both use a hinged design that lets your jaw move, but that’s about where the family resemblance ends.
I tried both, and for most snorers I’d pick ZQuiet. Here’s how they compare, including a few details that have changed since this post first went up.
Key Takeaways
- ZQuiet fit my wife and me. SnoreMender PS didn’t fit me, because the trays didn’t line up with my jaw.
- Both let you breathe through your mouth. That helps if allergies or a stuffy nose are part of your night.
- ZQuiet now has a 60-night guarantee. When I reviewed SnoreMender PS it was 90 days, with no refund until the full trial was over.
- Check with your dentist or doctor first. Loud snoring with gasping or paused breathing calls for a sleep test, not just a mouthpiece.
Which Is Better, SnoreMender PS or ZQuiet?
For most people, ZQuiet. It’s the softer device, and the starter pack ships with two sizes so you can find your fit.
SnoreMender PS cost $57 when I reviewed it, which is now more than a single ZQuiet pack at $39.95. It could still work if its one size happens to match your jaw.
How Are SnoreMender PS and ZQuiet Alike?
Both are mandibular advancement devices, which hold your lower jaw slightly forward to keep your airway open. Mayo Clinic lists a mouthpiece that thrusts the lower jaw forward as one treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea (Mayo Clinic).
The ones sold over the counter are marketed for snoring.
- Hinged design: the jaw can open and close while you wear either one.
- Ready out of the box: ZQuiet says no boiling or molding is needed, and my SnoreMender PS review found the same.
- Breathing hole: you can breathe through your mouth, which helps if you deal with sinus trouble, nasal polyps, a deviated septum or bad allergies.
- Simple to clean: neither has many crevices to scrub.
These are two of the simplest anti-snoring devices you can buy.

What Do They Cost, and What Are the Guarantees?
ZQuiet’s 2-Size Starter Pack is $59.95 and a single pack is $39.95, with free US shipping on orders over $50. Its guarantee covers returns within 60 days for a refund or credit, though trial fees are non-refundable (ZQuiet).
SnoreMender PS had a 90-day guarantee when I reviewed it, and you couldn’t get a refund until the full 90 days had passed. That’s a long wait if the fit is wrong.

What Happened When I Tried Both?
Sadly, SnoreMender didn’t fit right for me. The trays did not line up with my jaw.
ZQuiet managed to be a perfect fit for both my wife and me.
ZQuiet feels good the second you put it in your mouth. Literally, you can talk and drink water with it in.
SnoreMender isn’t necessarily uncomfortable, but it’s nothing to get excited over. The trays are stiff, and I don’t think I could talk with one in, but I didn’t really try.

Who Should Skip Both?
Mouthpieces put steady pressure on your teeth and jaw. ZQuiet says its Comfort style works best with straight front teeth or over clear aligners, and it sells a moldable Advance version for crooked teeth (ZQuiet FAQ).
If you have dentures, loose teeth or significant dental work, ask your dentist first. My SnoreMender review noted possible jaw pain, and any jaw-forward device can cause some soreness.
Loud snoring with gasping, choking or pauses in your breathing deserves a sleep test. Our guide to snoring versus sleep apnea explains the warning signs, and oral appliances for sleep apnea covers the medical side.
