Taxi Driver Saves His Marriage By Inventing Anti-Snore Pillow That He Dreamt Up in His Sleep

After years of strife, this cabbie says that he saved his marriage by inventing a pillow to stop himself from snoring.

42-year-old Phil Moore was forced to sleep alone for five years because his loud snoring was too much for his 43-year-old wife Stephanie, banished to nights on the living room sofa.

His loud wheezing and spluttering, which sounds like a “steam train”, caused a rift in the marriage – and left Stephanie in tears at the end of the bed.

But Phil had a revelation when he designed a pillow to stop the snoring – and ironically, the idea came to him in a dream.

And now, the pillow is hitting shop shelves after a chance encounter with a patent lawyer in the back of his cab.

The special pillow, which costs £169 ($217), is flexible with a raised center so that people can sleep on their fronts and place their hands comfortably underneath.

Phil said: “My wife was at her wit’s end. I remember her sitting crying on the end of the bed. She’s been through a lot. It was putting so much strain on our marriage and became really difficult to cope with.
