Brief summary

Treatment devices for snoring and mild OSA available over the counter have not been well validated. This study aims to determine whether a new product - the Patney Open Airway Device is suitable for people who snore and have mild OSA in terms of treating these issues. Patients will initially trial the device for one week and provide feedback on the comfort of the device plus the effect on symptoms.

Interventions

The Patney OAD is a pillow device designed to open the airway and reduce snoring / obstructive sleep apnoea. It will be used each night during a period of sleep over one week at subjects home. Detailed instructions will be provided by WellSleep staff trained in its use. Subjects and their partners will provide subjective feedback on their experience.
