No, snoring is a possible sign of sleep apnea (brief cessation of breathing). It's possible the way he's sleeping causes his tongue to fall back towards his throat. If he's overweight or obese, that can cause sleep apnea as well. He may be sleeping in a position that alleviates his back, but it's clearly causing a problem elsewhere.
Your fiance needs to go to his doctor about his snoring.

If she wants to sleep with him forever and a night she could go that extra mile and find a product to help stop him from snoring.... that's what I would do. I slept in the same bed with the same snoring/snortin' man for 24 years.... I SURVIVED.

Snoring can be a sign of apnea. It doesn't mean you are getting a good night's sleep at all.

Not at all. Snoring means poor breathing not better sleep. Maybe before you bought the mattress he was hardly getting any sleep at all.

While the fact that he is snoring may in fact indicate that your BF is getting better sleep, snoring itself is not an indicator of better sleep. He likely has a problem keeping his airway open while sleeping.

Not at all. One could be extremely fatigued, sick, have sleep apnea, be overweight. Has he been gaining weight since you met him? He's getting lazy in his days with you.

no, it means he probably has sleep apnea
