Common Sizing Mistakes to Avoid
Understanding common Back2Sleep sizing errors helps ensure you select the optimal size on your first attempt. These insights come from analyzing thousands of user experiences and professional fitting consultations.
❌ Mistake #1: Assuming Bigger is Better
Many users initially choose Large or XL thinking more reach equals better effectiveness. However, over-sizing can cause discomfort and may not improve results if Medium already provides adequate soft palate contact.
❌ Mistake #2: Choosing Based on Body Size Alone
Nasal anatomy doesn't always correlate with overall body size. Some petite individuals need Large sizes, while some tall people find Small most comfortable. Individual anatomy varies significantly.
✅ Correct Approach: Systematic Trial
Start with Medium, assess soft palate contact and comfort, then adjust systematically. The Starter Kit includes all four sizes specifically to enable this methodical approach.
Size Optimization Process
Most users identify their optimal Back2Sleep size within the first 3-5 nights using this systematic approach. The included four-size kit eliminates guesswork and ensures perfect fitting.
Try Medium (M)
Start with most common size. Assess comfort and soft palate contact. Note any issues with insertion or positioning.
Adjust if Needed
If Medium insufficient contact, try Large. If uncomfortable, try Small. Most users find their size by night 2.
Fine-tune Choice
Confirm optimal size or try remaining options. Consider comfort during full night's sleep, not just insertion.
Perfect Fit
Continue with optimal size. Track effectiveness and comfort over multiple nights for confirmation.
