What Is the Back2Sleep Starter Kit and Why Start Here?

The Back2Sleep starter kit is the recommended starting point for every new user. It contains four nasal stent sizes in one package. This lets you test each size at home and find the one that fits your nasal anatomy perfectly. No guesswork, no wasted orders.

A nasal stent only works when it stays in place without causing discomfort. Too small and it falls out during sleep. Too large and it creates pressure that wakes you up. The starter kit eliminates this problem by giving you every option in one box. According to a 2024 clinical review in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, proper device sizing improves treatment adherence by 40% compared to one-size-fits-all approaches.

Key Takeaway
  • The starter kit includes sizes S, M, L, and XL plus a storage case
  • Most adults fit M or L on their first try
  • Proper sizing increases nightly use from 4.2 to 6.8 hours on average

How to Find Your Perfect Back2Sleep Size in 60 Seconds

Finding the right fit is simpler than most people expect. Follow these four steps and you will have your size locked in within a minute.

1

Start Small

Insert the size S stent gently into one nostril. Breathe normally through your nose for 30 seconds.

2

Check the Fit

Tilt your head forward. If the stent slides out or feels loose, it is too small. Move to the next size up.

3

Confirm Comfort

The right size stays in place without pressure or pain. You should barely notice it after 5 minutes.

4

Sleep Test

Wear your chosen size for one full night. If it is still comfortable in the morning, you have your size.

These percentages come from Back2Sleep customer data across 50,000+ users in Europe. If you are between sizes, go with the larger one. A slightly larger stent creates a better seal, which improves airflow and reduces snoring more effectively.

Pro Tip: Your optimal size may change with the seasons. Allergies and winter congestion can swell nasal tissues, making a larger size more comfortable during certain months.

Why Proper Sizing Matters for Snoring Reduction

A nasal stent works by holding the nasal valve open. This is the narrowest point inside your nose, just 1-2 cm inside each nostril. When this valve collapses during sleep, airflow drops and soft tissues vibrate. That vibration is snoring.

A 2023 study in Rhinology found that nasal valve dilation reduces snoring intensity by an average of 75% when the device fits correctly. With a poor fit, the reduction drops to just 30%. The difference is entirely about whether the stent stays positioned over the nasal valve throughout the night.

This is why the starter kit exists. One size cannot serve everyone. Your nasal anatomy is as unique as your fingerprint. The kit gives you four calibrated options so your airway gets the exact support it needs.

Starter Kit vs. Single-Size Pack: Which Should You Choose?

Feature Starter Kit Single-Size Pack
Sizes included S, M, L, XL One size only
Best for First-time users Users who know their size
Storage case Included Not included
Fitting guide Included Not included
Risk of wrong size Zero (all sizes included) Moderate
Cost per stent Lower (bundled pricing) Standard

If this is your first time, always start with the Back2Sleep starter kit. Once you know your size, switch to single-size packs for refills. This saves time and ensures you never run out of your correct size.

What Back2Sleep Users Say

★★★★★
"I tried several devices — nasal dilators, mandibular advancement splints, jaw blockers. After my first night with Back2Sleep, the effect was spectacular. I didn't snore at all, which is exceptional for me. I felt like I finally breathed through my nose properly. I'm currently using a CPAP machine, and I can say Back2Sleep is more effective. The slight discomfort in the throat goes away after a few nights. I highly recommend this device."
Benjamin Purchase on Amazon
★★★★★
"Significantly reduces snoring. Super product!"
Choufred Purchase on Amazon
★★★★☆
"Smart design but with some reservations. Once in place, this flexible segmented tube effectively restores normal ventilation. However, it won't work if your nostrils are chronically congested (allergies, etc). The lower end of the tube can also get blocked by secretions. At 35 euros per month for 2 tubes, you'd expect premium results. Still evaluating."
Michel Purchase on Amazon
