If you snore too often and too loudly there are many different treatments you can try and some are better than others depending on the individual. A good option is an anti snoring pillow which will cradle your head and neck properly. There are various reasons as to why these pillows work better than your average pillow.
An anti snore pillow is usually made of a very firm foam material so that your head won't collapse into it they way it might with a regular pillow. Stacking a few pillows on top of each other will not have the same impact. Additionally, stacking many regular pillows may be very uncomfortable under your neck. Even if you prop yourself up on two or three normal pillows they may stop your snoring but it will probably be because you're not actually sleeping properly because you're so uncomfortable. An anti snore pillow might sound uncomfortable but it is actually shaped so that your neck fits into a little nook. You may have noticed this about such a pillow.
Another type of anti snore pillow works like a body pillow and is designed to be put behind you at the small of your back. Typically people snore when they sleep on their backs so keeping you on your side is important. Old advice was to put a tennis ball in the back of your pajamas waistband so that when you rolled over onto this, you would then get pushed back onto your side. But imagine how uncomfortable a tennis ball would be pushing against your back! So a longer anti snore pillow can be more supportive and more comfortable in this area. Some are designed like long single pillows and some are designed in a U shape to fit under one arm so you have support in both the front and back.
The benefit of using an anti snoring pillow is that it is a natural solution to snoring. For some people, however, the only option is medication or surgery, which may be extreme but well worth it in the long term.
