Long-Distance Relationship Saved by Better Sleep
“My partner lives in Australia and every time he visited, neither of us could sleep because of his snoring. After being fitted by Malcolm, our last three visits have been completely different. It sounds like a small thing but it has genuinely helped our relationship.”
Sarah Mitcham, Registered Nurse, Hamilton · November 2025
Finally Sleeping in the Same Room Again
“My wife and I had been sleeping in separate bedrooms for nearly four years. I tried nasal strips, throat sprays, changing pillows, even losing weight — nothing made a lasting difference. Malcolm fitted me with a Snoreguard device and within the first week my wife said the snoring had almost completely stopped. We are back in the same bedroom for the first time since 2021. I only wish I had done this sooner.”
Greg Ellison, Auckland · September 2025
Forget the Chemist Mouthguards
“I had bought two boil-and-bite mouthguards from the chemist and both were dreadful. The Snoreguard is nothing like them. Malcolm took proper impressions and the fit was precise from the first night.”
Karen Ashworth, Napier · August 2024

Shift Work and Snoring Were a Brutal Combination
“I work rotating shifts at a processing plant and quality sleep is not optional — it is a safety issue. My snoring was destroying what little rest I could get between shifts. Since Malcolm fitted me with a Snoreguard device I fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling like I have actually rested. My wife says the difference is night and day. For anyone doing shift work with a snoring problem, do not wait.”
Rob Taukiri, Plant Operator, Rotorua · June 2021
Better Days Start with Better Nights
“I did not connect my tiredness and poor concentration with snoring until my doctor pointed it out. Malcolm fitted me with a Snoreguard and within a fortnight I noticed a clear difference. I sleep deeper and feel sharper during the day.”
Michelle Tan, Marketing Manager, Wellington · March 2024
CPAP Was Not for Me — Snoreguard Was the Answer
“After being diagnosed with moderate obstructive sleep apnoea, my specialist put me on a CPAP machine. I persevered with it for almost eight months but could never get comfortable — the mask leaked, the noise kept my wife awake, and travelling with it was a nightmare. A colleague recommended Snoreguard and I have not looked back. Malcolm explained everything clearly and the device was comfortable from the start. It has given me back proper sleep without the ordeal of the CPAP.”
Tony Hargreaves, Retired Engineer, Christchurch · November 2023
Quiet Nights at Last
“Malcolm fitted me with a Snoreguard and my wife noticed the difference the very first night. Simple, comfortable, works.”
Paul Greer, Whangarei · May 2023
Five Years Later — Just as Good
“I wore my Snoreguard every single night for over five years. When I needed a replacement, Malcolm had my records and the whole process was straightforward. The new device is even more comfortable than the first.”
Diane Saunders, Dunedin · August 2022

I Did Not Expect This at 31
“My girlfriend recorded me snoring and played it back. I was genuinely shocked. At 31 I felt too young to be dealing with this. Malcolm was completely professional and matter-of-fact, which put me at ease. The device took a few nights to get used to but now I do not even notice it. No more recordings.”
James Rata, Software Developer, Auckland · January 2022
Seven Years from My First Devic
“My original Snoreguard lasted seven years of nightly use. It only needed replacing because dental work changed my bite. Malcolm made the replacement with the same care as the original. I have recommended Snoreguard to at least four people and every one of them has thanked me.”
Richard Payne, Company Director, Tauranga · February 2020
I Had Given Up on Finding a Solution
“Over the years I tried everything — nasal dilators, special pillows, sleeping on my side, throat exercises, even hypnotherapy. Nothing worked for more than a few nights. I had honestly accepted that snoring was just something I would have to live with. A friend insisted I try Snoreguard and I am so glad she did. Malcolm fitted the device carefully and patiently, and the results were immediate. My husband said the first night was the quietest in over a decade.”
Anita Varga, Teacher, Palmerston North · July 2019
Long-Term Relief After Years of Snoring
“My husband and I had been sleeping apart for over six years due to the severity of his snoring. He had undergone three throat operations over four years, tried CPAP therapy without success, and was told that jaw surgery might be the only remaining option. Snoreguard provided a solution when everything else had failed. For the first time in years, we were able to sleep in the same room again.”
Audrey Bridle, Auckland · Letter dated 21 May 2007
A Comfortable Alternative to CPAP
“What a difference Snoreguard made compared to the grotesque reverse vacuum cleaner the CPAP machine seemed to be. My second Snoreguard lasted an amazing seven years. My new Mark 3 is proving even more comfortable than earlier models. I have no hesitation recommending Snoreguard to anybody with a ‘noisy’ sleep problem.”
Richard Horner · Letter dated 27 July 2004
Skeptical at First — Completely Convinced After Use
“Over ten years I had tried almost everything to stop snoring — nasal sprays, plastic devices, special pillows, and even contemplated surgery. After about five days getting used to the device, I have not snored once since. My wife and I now enjoy ‘snoreless’ nights every night. I would have no hesitation recommending Snoreguard to anyone with a snoring problem.”
Peter Bosworth, Electrical Engineer (B.Sc Hons, MIPENZ) · Letter dated 13 October 1996
Improved Sleep Quality and Daily Life
“I was diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea by Greenlane Hospital. The CPAP machine made an enormous difference, but it was noisy, cumbersome to travel with, and downright antisocial — I spend 18 days out of every 28 overseas. I quickly got used to having the Snoreguard in my mouth and now I hardly notice it. It has become one of my most treasured possessions.”
Peter J. Forge, Auckland · Letter dated 22 March 1996
