If he is snoring that loudly he needs to be evaluated for sleep apnoea it can be dangerous.
when he snores does he have a reg pattern just breathing in and out or does it starts and stops
does he feel tired during the day??
has his concentration declined lately
these are all signs of this.
He needs a sleep study done if he does have this and if he is treated he life will change over night.
for now he can try those breath rite strips they do help many
for most they only snore on their backs so I have heard that putting a tennis ball in a sock and pinning it too the back of their shirt so when they roll on it they turn back over.
using a orthopaedic pillow as it tilts the head back
they have some cheaper ones at walmart but they do not last long so if they work for him go to one of the more expensive ones as they last for years.
I have heard of sprays you could use you spray them on the back of the throat but I do not know anyone who tried them so I can not say if they work
you could try ear plugs
or put music on in the room
I would not suggest putting music on with headphones as it is not good for your ear drums.

The trick is to get him to breathe through his nose. People can't make all that racket if they breathe through their noses. They are selling all kinds of remedies for snoring these days, but they won't work unless he breathes through his nose.
If he sleeps in his side or stomach, he probably won't do snore.
Breathe right strips might help keep his nasal passages open.
If he is overweight, losing weight might stop it.
If he agrees, tape his mouth shut.
Get some earplugs.
One important thing: If he stops breathing for a few seconds or up to a minute, then starts again, he has sleep apnea and should see a doctor,

Is he keen to seem right into a answer? if so, he might want to pass to his wide-spread wellbeing care professional. That dr. might want to order a snooze study (it is the position he spends a nighttime on the wellbeing center/hospital and they placed sensors on him to analyze his respiratory/noisily snoring). After the sleep study, the wellbeing care professional will have the means to signify the perfect plan of action. coverage might want to cover those study/and so on. those study do not take lengthy and he may have this resolved interior per week or a lot less. interior the intervening time, some 'residing house remedies' and over the counter helps are: Breathe top strips, or there is one which is going into the nostrils and opens them up. there's a throat spray that supposedly keeps the throat tissues from swelling, laying on his aspect, or each of the above! i'd also favor to signify that you make investments in some snug earplugs. they received't block the sound thoroughly, besides the undeniable fact that it does mute it sufficient that you'll sleep via it. And very last yet no longer least...make him pass sleep on the settee! lol. sturdy success and sweet desires! p.s. After having post with a noisily snoring husband for over 15 years...and dealing with each of the above...he divorced me! it is even as i needed I had tried that sock him troublesome technique! no longer in worry-free words might want to I actual are growing extra sleep, i'd have worked out diverse my frustration!

Believe it or not...a snore pillow. My father-in-law rocked the walls for years. And I mean LOUD snoring. Finally, his wife bought a snore pillow from WalMart or K-Mart and it really did work.

I bought a fan and some ear plugs... the ear plugs muffled the white noise and I could fall asleep... we tried all of those breath right strips and stuff and they didn't work... if it gets really bad I just kick him and he rolls over... my stepmom actually has to go up and be asleep before my dad goes to bed because he's so loud. She has a fan too and says it helps a lot... sometimes all you can do is get them to move positions and stop so you can fall asleep... most partners get used to the noise... but I can't! Good Luck!

Two suggestions. When I snore, many times it is due to congestion. Try getting him to take a sudafed before going to bed to help with that. Otherwise, have you tried those Breath-Right strips?

He should sleep with his head slightly elevated. Using two pillows ought to do it.
If he's overweight, that may be a cause.
If he has sleep apnea (where he stops breathing for seconds at a time), he needs to see a doctor.
