Removing nasal valve obstruction in peak nasal inspiratory flow measurement
Martyn L. Barnes, MBBS
Brian J. Lipworth, MD
Asthma and Allergy Research Group, Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, Ninewells Hospital and Perth Royal Infirmary, University of Dundee, Dundee, Scotland.
BACKGROUND:
Peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF) measurements are used to evaluate nasal obstruction and as a surrogate for disease activity in allergic rhinitis and other nasal complaints. This measurement can give erroneous results when forced inspiration leads to nasal valve collapse.
OBJECTIVE:
To determine the effects of 2 different nasal stents (Sinus Cones and Nozovent) on valve collapse and repeatability of PNIF measurements.
METHODS:
Repeated measurements of PNIF were obtained in 74 individuals with and without 2 different nasal stents: Sinus Cones and Nozovent.
RESULTS:
The mean (95% confidence interval) improvement in PNIF was 1.7 L/min (−2.4 to 5.8 L/min; P = .42) with Nozovents and 25.4 L/min (11.4 to 39.4 L/min; P = .001) with Sinus Cones. The PNIF coefficient of variation for repeatability was 11.6% without stents, 16.0% using Nozovents, and 10.4% using Sinus Cones.
CONCLUSIONS:
Sinus Cones, but not Nozovents, significantly improved PNIF. Repeatability of PNIF measurements was worse with Nozovents and only marginally improved with Sinus Cones.

How to Determine Your Size
Follow our patented sizing guide to determine your most suitable size.
Measure width across your thumb as shown.
- Place your thumb on a ruler, fingerprint side down with the left edge of the thumb on the beginning of the ruler or 1 inch mark.
(In the image shown above, the left side of the thumb is placed flush with the 1 inch mark on the ruler.) - Measure across the widest part of the thumb as indicated by the black arrows above.
(In the image above, the right side of the thumb measures about 7/8″, or less than one inch.) - Use this gauge to select your size.
(In the image above, based on a measure of 7/8″ and referencing the chart below, this thumb measures to a medium size.)
If your thumb measures:
3/4″ (.75 of an inch) or less, select the size small.
If your thumb measures more than 3/4″ to 1″ (.75 of an inch to one inch), select the size medium.
If your thumb measures more than 1″ (more than one inch), select the size large.
If you are right on the line between two sizes, we suggest ordering both sizes, trying them and then returning the ones that are not the correct size. Please see our guarantee for details.
PLEASE NOTE: sometimes nasal airways are not the same size and two sizes are necessary. So be sure to try each size in each airway.
CUSTOMIZING FIT:
MAX-AIR NOSE CONES are made connected to one another.
To achieve just the right fit and comfort, separate them from one another and fit them individually.
Custom Sizing for Deviated Septum and Nasal Airway Collapse
Mixing two different sizes may be needed for deviated septum or nasal valve collapse, if one nasal airway or nostril is smaller or narrower than the other.
If this is your situation, you will find it more suitable to use two different sizes Cones to treat this problem. Simply determine the size that you measure to normally, as indicated above, and then select that size for your larger nostril, and the next smaller size for your other smaller or narrower nostril.
Purchase the two sizes, and use one size in one nostril and the other size in the other nostril. Once again, swivel for your most comfortable fit and best angle to maximize flow volume.
How to Choose Your Most Suitable Squeezieness-Rating: Soft, Softer, or Softest
All of our products are soft, and there should never be any discomfort when using our nasal cones. That said every person has a preference when it involves the softness that their nose likes.
The new SOFT, Max-Air Nose Cones Performance are designed to stay put so that you don’t have to. This product is soft but it is made with our firmest material, so the fit and feel is a little more dynamic to insure a secure fit no matter what level of activity for which you use them.
The original, SOFTER, white Sinus Cones may be best for those nights when nasal allergy, sinus or cold congestion is severe and extra nasal airway support is necessary, when snoring is loud and pervasive, or when nasal obstruction from a collapsed side-wall is present.
The mildest, SOFTEST, clear, Max-Air Nose Cones are preferred, especially for mild deviated septum, in combination with CPAP or oral appliances for mild sleep apnea, to stop snoring and night time dry mouth, or anytime extra help is needed for sleep breathing relief.
If you are undecided, order a selection. Try them out, decide which is more suitable for your situation, and return the other set for a free exchange.

My doctor recommended this a few months ago for my deviated septum and side effects from chronic Afrin use on and off. I immediately had relief and could easily breathe despite the rebound nasal congestion you get from the Afrin. I highly recommend this product!

Broke my nose in a car accident and a surgeon’s attempt at fixing it made it worse. Been living with it with severe breathing limitations but surgeons were not confident with performing another surgery.
These Sinus Cones saved my sleep and to some degree, saved my life.
I would most likely not be alive if not for them.

I wish I could enjoy them however I ordered the small size and they were still too large for my nose. I would put them in at night and it worked for a short time but they would always fall out.
Sadly, I will have to return them and try to find something else.
If they make an extra-small that would be great!
Nose News –
Thank you for your review. You ordered the small size in our Sinus Cones product. That product is slightly firmer than the Max-Air Nose Cones, consequently it fits slightly larger than the small size in the Max-Air Nose Cones. If the small Sinus Cones fit all the way into your airway but dislodge during sleep, then we recommend exchanging them for the small size in the Max-Air Nose Cones. If the small Sinus Cones only fit 3/4 of the way into your airway, then we recommend exchanging them for the XS size in the Max-Air Nose Cones Performance version. Please give our tech support a call for further assistance.

I bought the cones based on my surgeons recommendation. They are far more comfortable than the cheaper brand I bought previously. The first time I used them they gradually worked their way out during the night. The second time I had a breath right strip on and they stayed in place all night.
However, I woke up with a blockage farther up my nose so these don’t work for me.
Nose News –
Thank you for your review. If the Sinus Cones gradually work their way out during sleep, we suggest 1) separate them and fit them individually (especially if you have a deviated septum), and, if separating them doesn’t remedy the issue, 2) exchange them for the Max-Air Nose Cones in the same size.
If your obstruction/blockage feels like it is “further up your nose”, that indicates that your obstruction is “posterior” or actually further back in the airway. In cases of posterior obstruction, an Ear, Nose & Throat specialist can perform an endoscopic assessment of the obstruction and recommend the appropriate procedure or surgery.

I had been unable to breathe through my nose. I’m awaiting surgery to fix my several issues. Surgeon recommended Sinus Cones It is truly amazing to be able to breathe through my nose now. I wear Sinus Cones at night and my wife tells me that I no longer snore, so she’s happy too.

I went in to have my deviated septum fixed, and the side that she went in on is now growing scar tissue at a high rate so the doctor said that she has read about this in med books. So now i will spend the next 6 weeks with the Cone in my nose. I’m so grateful for this company. I can breathe through my left nostril. Thank you for helping me through this tuff situation.

I found this website while doing a Google search on non-surgical approaches to stop snoring. I have several issues that contribute: deviated septum, chronic sinusitis, and former pituitary surgery through the nose leaving me with some scar tissue that contributes to the sinus issues. To be honest I wasn’t sure which product to select so I ordered the Max-Air Nose Cones as well as the Sinus Cones. Both seem to work well as far as alleviating my snoring issues but I prefer the Sinus Cones because of the nostril clips. These Sinus Cones stay in place overnight and I have noticed a huge difference in My overall nasal health and breathing. I feel like I am not as congested throughout the day, I have had to blow my nose less, the sinus pressure has progressively gone away, and best of all I know that I am not mouth breathing because I wake up with almost the same taste in my mouth as I went to bed with after brushing my teeth. So no more dry mouth with morning breath! Post nasal drip seems to have gotten much better as well. I don’t think it’s a coincidence, I definitely think this product is helping me. It’s been several years since I’ve been able to sleep and breathe so well at night. I have tried nasal strips in the past, and they do work but I hate the way the adhesive irritates my skin. Another thing I have noticed less of is puffiness under my eyes due to the congestion end lack of restful sleep. So I highly recommend these Sinus Cones for people that suffer from sinus issues or even seasonal allergies and congestion. This has been a great couple of weeks for me thanks to the Sinus Cones!

I wanted to LOVE this product. I thought that just maybe this would work while wearing my CPAP. No, it does not fit AT ALL, is 100% not compatible with my CPAP mask. So, I thought it may be good to wear during odd times when I rest and do not want to wear my CPAP. No, it was a horrible experience, I wanted it off me as soon as it went it. It pushed at and otherwise made my nose look mangled and I was very concerned that IT WOULD STAY THAT WAY after I removed the cones. After 2 minutes of trying it with my CPAP mask on, and after 2-3 hours, over 2-3 days, wearing it while taking a nap without CPAP… I knew for sure THIS NEEDED TO BE RETURNED FOR A FULL REFUND. And while I realize that most of my refund would be eaten up by the POSTAGE to me and the RETURN POSTAGE, I still felt it is worth sending it back TO SHOW THE COMPANY THAT THIS IS A HORRIBLE PRODUCT. The marketing and literature were amazing, as was my doctor’s acting like a representative of this company, but the product stinks! I do not recommend this product to even my worst enemy. It reminds me of the product Steve Martin created in the movie “The Jerk”. You have been warned.
Nose News –
HI Robert – thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you were so displeased with your experience with our Sinus Cones product. That is very unusual. It also sounds as though you are very frustrated with your CPAP due to your nasal obstruction. Nasal obstruction is the #1 reason that patients are non-compliant with CPAP, so we understand the challenges. Sometimes, nasal surgery is the only option, but a call to our tech support is always recommended for help with CPAP and septal deviation issues. Between our three different products and multiple sizes, we can usually sort out fit issues with CPAP masks. Based on your complaint, a smaller size and softer product would be a more suitable option for you. Please note that physicians recommend our products based on their patients reporting beneficial experiences using our products.

I have been struggling with sleep apnea for 10 years, trying to address the condition and avoid using a CPAP. Although I have seen 5 sleep medicine physicians during that time,( all were treating me for obstructive sleep apnea), none of them even looked at my mouth or nose. I took myself to an ENT doctor (otolaryngologist) and learned there was a lot wrong with my nose that was causing obstruction. This little device, which he recommended, the Sinus Cones, has improved my oxygen saturation so much I am in the “normal” range if I wear it. It is completely comfortable. I had tried Bongo And Optipillow, both of which would shift during the night and were uncomfortable. Not this little gem. I understand that sleep apnea is serious and complex but if this could help, why not give it a try? I am sleeping longer, too, which sure helps my energy level.

Hi – thank you for your review. Please note that the Sinus Cones are not cleared by the FDA as a stand-alone treatment for sleep apnea.

These work! Was waffling about what size to get, but settled on Medium and very happy about it. Fit great, very comfortable. I’d been complaining that “they” should make stents for people with a deviated septum (mine was fixed, but went back to what it was pre-surgery…not unusual, I hear). So the dentist said “They do make ‘nose stents'” and gave me the information about these Sinus Cones for nighttime. Check out what another user wrote on June 11 below. I agree completely.

These cones are working for me! I have slept through the night for the last 4 nights. The thumb-based sizing was exactly right for me. I have a dental device for my sleep apnea which is no longer fully controlling the apnea. I added these Sinus Cones, and am sleeping much better. I use an O2 ring to monitor oxygen through the night, so I can really see the difference — far fewer desaturations. I had tried cones from this company a few years ago and had problems. One piece of advice I can offer is, really follow the cleaning instructions precisely — don’t let the cones soak in the hydrogen peroxide. I think that’s why I failed before.

Dr recommended, and I must say I breathe n sleep better since I started using the Sinus Cones. Helped a lot with my mouth breathing n snoring. I purchased the medium size next time I will get the small as the medium are little bigger than I thought they would be.

I would’ve given five stars because this product really works well, but the last “large” pair I received recently is too small. They still help, but I find myself continuing to use my old large pair which works much better for my large nose. Great product though…a little pricey, but much better than the adhesive strips I wore for years.

I have used Sinus Cones for years now. They are the only thing that let me breathe when I sleep. I used to use the softer Nose Cones but I prefer the firmness of the sinus cones. I have tried other brands of nasal dilators, but I find that Max-Air Sinus Cones are the most effective. I highly recommend them!

I previously submitted a somewhat snaky review which I wish to retract. A representative of the company took the time to personally call me to address my problem and suggested I try another option within their product line. Now that I have the right Sinus Cones, my sinus issues have virtually disappeared. This has been a life changing event. No more snoring and dry mouth. I can’t thank that caring individual who called me enough. I will definitely be reordering this product in the future and have called my doctor who suggested this product to report my success.

These are absolutely the best I have ever used. Contrary to your sizing the largest works the best because of the collapse of my nostril. These are amazing, ENT couldn’t do anything to help but more surgery. Not happening. The Nose Cones have solved a life long problem and not only can I breathe but I no longer snore. I wish I could wear them to work but people would freak, can you make some that can be hidden inside the nostril? I can’t live without these, thank you.

I had problems with the product coming out of my nose whenever I turned over and my face rubbed against the pillow. I tried cutting off the connection between them, but it still happened when I would turn over. Whichever piece rubbed against the pillow or my hands or arms, it would come out.
Nose News –
Hi – Thank you for your review. You selected the Sinus Cones which have a little tab that fits onto the outside of the nostril. If you sleep with your face squished into the pillow, the tab may catch on the pillow and dislodge the Sinus Cones. We suggest that you use the Max-Air Nose Cones instead, which do not have a tab, so your pillow will not cause the Cones to dislodge. Please contact tech support for further assistance.

My nose stuff up at night and my doctor said I might try a Nose Cone for my nose. After trying yours they did not help at all. Even cut them to put them farther in helped some not much.
Nose News –
Hi – thanks for your review. Often times it is difficult for doctors to know exactly which part of the airway is causing the stuffy feeling. Trying the Sinus Cones our Max-Air Nose Cones is a good way to test for the area where the obstruction occurs. If our Cones are not helpful, then you can tell your doctor that anterior nasal dilation was not helpful. That indicates that the problem is in the posterior airway and requires surgery. We offer a 30-day refund so that it is easy to try our product and test your airway. Please call tech support for further assistance.

It seemed to help initially but as I go on it seems to not be as effective as the first few times using.
Plus I figured it would help a lot once they are taken out. I have put off seeing a physician hoping it
would eventually clear up. I am thinking that the only option left is antibiotics for a viral infection.
it has went on for over 7 months, with major nose congestion with thick or thin drainage with no other
underlying health problems.

What a lifesaver!! My ENT doctor recommended these when I had severe nasal congestion months after a balloon sinuplasty.
The Sinus Cones opened up my nasal passages considerably and I wore them on and off, day and night and while exercising. They are extremely comfortable. My nasal airflow improves significantly while using them and I will continue to depend on them as needed. I recommend them highly!

These are incredible. I started off with the clear Nose Cones, softest ones. They were great, except half the nights I would inadvertently take them out while sleeping. I decided to go back and purchase the white Sinus Cones with the hooks that grab onto the outside edge of your nostrils. They’re just as comfortable as the hookless ones, but I think they actually fit a little better because you can insert them a bit deeper into the nasal passage without fear they’ll get stuck too high up.
I also just used these while running in the gym. Absolute game changer in terms of airflow/stamina. I’m going to invest in the sport ones so I don’t look like a goober in public.

After a total Rhinoplasty due to Cancer there is a need to keep my nostrils open to avoid them collapsing until reconstructive surgery. At first my surgeon gave me a size medium which were too large, uncomfortable and would not stay in my nose. After researching Max-Air Nose Cones I learned they were too big. The research told me if they are uncomfortable come out easily….they are too big. I ordered a Small and they are Perfect I can wear all the time day and Night. Hardly know they are in my nostrils.

Found the sinus cones very comfortable and it’s great to wake after a good nights sleep having been able to breath through my
Nose and not my mouth. Also great result with the sinusitis as I now don,t get that build up of muck in my throat to contend with every morning .Although not completely gone it is only week one so fully intend to continue use of the cones.
I used the thumb size guide and found the medium comfortable to wear.

I have used for over a week now and the Nose Cones keep me breathing freely and are very comfortable . I thought the large cones might be a problem but they fit snug and the soft material keeps them comfortable in my nose . I highly recommend if you are having clogged air passages .

I’ve use for 3 nights and had very good results. Very comfortable. I recently fell on my face and smashed my nose. The right side of my nose gets blocked during sleep. The Sinus Cones are helping to keep the side unblocked.

Thank you for your review. Glad to hear of your success relieving the nasal airway obstruction from your trauma.

It works if you have narrow nose openings or if they get stuffy at the immediate opening. They however do not alleviate moderate to severe congestion as advertised. They open the airway as deep as the cones go, but your nasal passage goes much farther up and back. And when the nasal linings farther back in your nose swells, this product will not reach and does not help. I think the company needs to explain this in their marketing. Yeah they offer a refund. But after spending $10 in shipping round trip if you have to return, it’s not worth the hassle.
Nose News –
Hi Thank you for your review and suggestion to explain nasal obstruction.
Our products relieve “anterior” nasal obstruction. Anterior nasal obstruction is airflow obstruction in the nasal passages from the tip of the nose to the inside top of the nostril. Obstruction beyond the top of the nostril called “posterior” obstruction is technically located in the nasaopharynx. Based on your symptom complaint, it sounds as though your obstruction is due to turbinate hypertrophy, or swelling of the turbinates. To relieve turbinate hypertrophy, you would need to see an Ear, Nose & Throat surgeon for an in-office procedure. We hope that this is helpful.

didn,t help at all. my blockage is more towards the back of nasal passage. It actually caused more of an air reduction at the front of my nose, so it was worse then before. I,m sure its a good product, it just didn,t work for me.
Nose News –
Hi – Thank you for your review. “Posterior” nasal obstruction, obstruction that is further back in the nasal airway, is typically only relieved by surgery. However, based on your feedback, it sounds as though the size that you selected is too small for your airway. When sized correctly, the Sinus Cones should improve airflow at the front of your nose. If they reduce the flow, that indicates that the size is too small. We suggest that you contact our tech support for assistance, or you may return the Sinus Cones for a refund.

I couldn’t breathe out of one nostril. My doctor recommended these Nose Cones. I can breathe again! They prevent the inner wall of my nose from collapsing and restricting air flow. I’ve tried the Max-Air and the Sinus cones. I prefer the latter for sleeping. They just take some time getting used to them. I sometimes inadvertently knock them off, but I soon wake up and reinsert them. I got to the point where they stay in all night. What an easy fix–and a great alternative to surgery. I wish I knew about these sooner.

I have sinusitis and a deviated septum that has been repaired. However, my sinus membranes on one side are slightly swollen making breathing at night somewhat laborious. I previously have used a Mack’s Airmax Nasal Dilator until it broke in the cross-bridge. I thought I’d give the Max-Air Nose Cones a try as they were of a different design. Both devices have worked well, providing open nasal passages and reducing sinus congestion. The Max-Air stays put a little better than the Mack’s. I purchased a Large Max-Air but will probably exchange it for a Medium as it may be a little too large for my nostrils. The only down side so far is that the number of uses is limited to 90 days per the Max-Air product documentation, although they don’t say why.
Nose News –
Hi Anonymous – thank you for your review. It great to hear that the Max-Air Nose Cones are staying put better than the competition for you. We’re committed to producing the best fitting and most comfortable nasal dilators. To answer your question, the reason the use period is limited to 90 days is to insure safe use. Repeated use and proper cleaning degrade and fatigue the materials. By replacing them every 90 days as directed, the Max Air Nose Cones will perform as intended and stay safe in use.

I received these about 2 weeks ago and have worn them every night. They really work for me. I can breathe better all night. I had been waking with a stuffy nose, but these seem to help that, too. I had tried some that were not nearly as soft as these. These stay in my nose all night and do not irritate.

I’ve used this product repeatedly and every night and have been pleased with the relief I get from it. I’m also compelled by it being US made and with high quality.

Helps to avoid mouth breathing in my sleep, which has led to fewer mouth sores and better sleep, but the only downside is that using them multiple nights in a row leads to my nose being sore.
Overall very helpful, but not comfortable enough to wear every night.

Husband has had mouth cancer surgery and had most of his top palate removed. Found his nose collapses in to where he can’t breathe. Have tried many different brands of apparatuses and THIS is the best out there. He can now breathe again!!! He even wears some for work!! If you have a collapsing nose, GET THESE!!! YOU WON’T BE SORRY!! BEST CONES EVER in my opinion!!!
Debora (verified owner) –
My ENT recommended these Sinus Cones but I couldn’t find them locally so I tried another brand. The other brand were rough, hurt and you couldn’t separate them. The Sinus Cones on the other hand are soft, fit comfortably, and you don’t have to wear them both. Much better sleep! And dry mouth is going away.
Joseph P, MD –
Being able to comfortably breathe through one’s nose, at rest or with exertion, is an underappreciated component of physical health and overall well-being. Chronic mouth inhalation is associated with negative health consequences; and it is no coincidence that most yoga breathing exercises (Pranayama) require conscious, controlled nasal inhalations across a broad range of speed and forcefulness.
I had difficulty with nasal breathing right from the start. Allergies to cat dander and seasonal pollen made things worse. In medical residency I acquired a severe latex allergy, leading to chronic rhinitis, obstruction and episodic bacterial sinusitis. At this point, topical and oral medications were of little help. Because the problem interfered with my clinical duties, I presented myself for an ENT surgery consultation. After imaging and examination, I was told I sustained a nasal fracture from a traumatic birth, ultimately resulting in a badly deviated nasal septum, which now required surgery.
The septoplasty/turbinectomy helped a little, but also weakened structures that normally keep the nasal air channel open, especially during rapid or forceful inhalation. The problem now seemed to interfere with sleep even more than before. Symptoms could occur even by merely laying down to rest. The condition noticeably limited my exercise capacity and efficiency.
I tried nasal strips intermittently for years, with some success. However they caused skin inflammation when used more than two or three times a week. I also tried most of the many other insertable devices on the market. All were unsatisfactory. None came anywhere close to the relief I experienced after discovering Max-Air products.
Before Max-Air, I woke up multiple times a night, usually with a dry mouth, and often with a headache and anxiety. This was in spite of near-optimal sleep hygiene. With Max-Air, and slightly elevating the head of my bed, nighttime symptoms virtually disappeared. I now reliably enjoy restful, restorative sleep, and have better energy and focus throughout the day. I also use Max-Air frequently when cycling or playing basketball.
I recently tried using Max-Air under a bandana while cycling. They performed well but would occasionally slip down, requiring me to push them back up. I then tried them under a N95 mask, which caused less direct pressure on the nose. They were more stable, noticeably reducing my obstruction symptoms. So I wondered if these would be helpful to others experiencing obstruction while wearing a mask.
Comfort, performance and durability make Max-Air products a first choice for me. They are worth trying for anyone with nasal inspiratory obstruction, especially while wearing a face mask. One thing is for sure, Max-Air products are true to their name, providing Maximal Airflow through the nose for various activities and under many conditions and circumstances.
Thank you to Sanostec and Max-Air.
Cathie Ruggiero –
I was amazed at the difference I felt immediately. I slept all night, had no sinus headache (most always do), no dry mouth, and, a huge reduction in post nasal drip. I have much more energy during the day now. They have come out while I’m sleeping so I think I need to get a medium.

These sinus cones have made it possible to avoid using a C-Pap machine. I was on a C-Pap machine when I went to a doctor’s office. He looked at me and said my nostrils looked thin.

The cones do help me breathe better at night. However, the longer you use them the less they stay in your nose. I clean them before every use with hydrogen peroxide. I don’t know if that makes them stiffen up or what. But in the beginning they are comfortable.

I hope this feedback is helpful for others who are considering this. If you have any suggestions for using your product with a CPAP, would welcome that info. Had a difficult time trying to decide a rating since we won’t be able to use them, but decided to go in the middle.
Nose News –
Hi Tara – thank you for your review. We’re glad that you posted your concerns because this is a perfect example of why we offer phone tech support. Generally we recommend trying the Max-Air Nose Cones with CPAP because they have a lower profile, and, as a consequence, fit more easily inside CPAP masks. With the pressure of the mask, the Max-Air Nose Cones are usually perfectly adequate to hold the airways open. We offer a 30-day, one-time free exchange or refund* should you need to exchange your Sinus Cones for the Max-Air Nose Cones. Please contact our phone tech support for assistance, at 1-800-797-0361 X3.

I bought a set of the sinus cones about five months ago and they have helped me tremendously. I was able to get off of my Allegra that I have been on for 20 years. I did not cut them apart and it did not take long to get used to having them in my nose. The first three or four Nights I did have drainage from my sinuses during the night and had to take them out blow my nose and put them back in ,but after a few nights that problem went away. I love these things. I am addicted to them now!! They are wonderful!
Robbin K –
I have a deviated septum and although I’ve never really had an issue breathing or snoring, an ENT told me that some ear issues when I get a cold are caused by the deviated septum and resulting swelling of the turbinates on one side. I found these cones and decided to give them a try (along with Flonase to help shrink the turbinates). I was skeptical that they would stay in, or make a difference. But after several nights of wearing one on the squished side, I can feel breath going in and out on that side – which means it wasn’t before! I didn’t think I was waking up from not breathing, but I have been sleeping much longer through the night when wearing the Sinus Cone. Haven’t yet tried them with exercise, but I think it will be a great boost!

I have been using maxair nose cones for quite a number of years. I was diagnosed with allergies which led to sinus congestion while sleeping. I was also diagnosed with a breathing issue caused by collapsing of the nasal passage while sleeping (likely due to some old athletic sports injuries). Sanostec nose cones were recommended by a naturopath practitioner.
The maxair nose cones used earlier and now the sinus cones model effectively resolve those nasal passage sleeping issues as well curb my snoring (which was an annoyance to my wife).
I plan to continue purchasing and using the sinus cones supplied by Sanostec.

These work great and I’ve used them for several years now, and as I said in the sport cones review I am going to try them to see if my breathing can get even better. I showed them to the ENT DOCTOR that my doctor sent me to and he was amazed at the difference of my air intake,
Alex (verified owner) –
I’ve been using the nose cones for several years now and they work excellent for me to breathe while sleeping. I HAVE A deviated septum and had to breathe thru my mouth even when awake but now I get enough air intake thru my nose.
I started with the clear ones and thru experimenting I went to the SINUS cones and find they are even better. I was having trouble breathing and would open my mouth when asleep which was causing me to DROOL ON MY PILLOW, now the drooling has stopped , I sleep on a dry pillow. I am going to experiment further by trying the SPORT CONES and see if they give further improvement. I also found that when they say they last 3 months they are right, they tend to start losing their shape after the 3-31/2 month period
Jack Wade (verified owner) –
Excellent product.
C.J.` (verified owner) –
This is the 2nd pair that I’ve purchased. They’re a bit costly, considering their simple design & material but worth it since they’ve provided some relief from my inability to breath through a collapsed nasal passage. I definitely sleep better when I use them. They’re easy to get used to and are comfortable.
I suspect their level of effectiveness varies, based on your condition and nasal structure.
TC (verified owner) –
Small seems to fall out every night, yet next size up is too big. May be between sizes
Nose News –
Hi TC – thank you for your review of need a size in between the small and medium Sinus Cones. When this occurs there are three troubleshooting tips that we suggest.
1) First try separating the Cones and wearing them individually. This allows you to insert and swivel each Cone at just the right angle for each nasal airway. After fitting each Cone individually, determine if the fit is improved for one or both airways.
2) If the fit is still too small in the Small Sinus Cones, we suggest trying the medium size Max-Air Nose Cones, which will fit a half-size larger. The Max-Air Nose Cones are slightly softer than the Sinus Cones so they fit smaller than the medium size in the Sinus Cones. We recommend trying them connected first and then separated depending on how the fit.
3) Sometimes the nasal airways are sized so differently that you need to wear two different sizes. Once the Cones are separated, you will be able to easily determine which airway needs which size by trying one size in one airway and the other size in the other airway.
Hope that this is of help.
For more complicated nasal airway anatomy, we always suggest that you call our tech support folks for assistance. With our selection of sizes, materials and designs, we are able to comfortably and effectively fit most noses.

Hi Thanks for your review. The doctor isn’t wrong, it is the size that is incorrect. If you have tried wearing them separated (our first suggestion) and they are “working their way out”, that indicates that they are slightly too large. We suggest that you exchange the small Sinus Cones for the small Max-Air Nose Cones, which will fit a little smaller because they are softer. That should solve your issue.

I was told to buy nose cones by my Otolaryngologist Surgeon. After the first month of healing she noticed that my septum was trying to move away from the nasal bones leaning to one side. She told me to buy the Sinus Nose Cones to help keep the cartilage in line. Because of the severity of my closed passageway my first nose cone (which was a small, following ‘thumb’ guidelines) was great but only lasted about 2 months before it was molded nearly closed due to my left nostril being so tight from surgery. I then bought the Medium sized and WOW can I see a difference! Every morning when I remove it I can see how straight it is. This product works AMAZING not just to help keep my cartilage in place but from the moment I first put it in I was able to BREATHE so well unlike ever before. Beside these two amazing benefits, being as frugal as I am, I LOVE that it is SO AFFORDABLE especially since I am required to keep buying for a year. Thank you Max-Air!!

I recently purchased the Max-Air Sinus Cones because I have tried other nose cones and they just didn’t hold my nose open while I slept. I have a deviated septum all my life, but recently had an operation that required removing the facial nerve on the right side (looks like I’ve had a stroke.) I was only breathing out of one nostril, and when I laid on the left side, my right was completely blocked. The firmer compound was what I needed and they are very comfortable, I don’t even know they’re there; After hubby stops teasing. I only use one most of the time and it stays in all night long.

Before trying nose cones I spent most nights sitting in a chair. Now I sleep like a proverbial log…no cough, no dry mouth, no trouble breathing. I forget a lot of things but never to insert my cone at night. Very Satisfied
BONNIE TIJERINA (verified owner) –
I can’t wear them when I need them I take them out when I’m sleeping so they don’t help me at all . HI BONNIE THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW, WE HAVE TWO RECOMMENDATIONS. BASED ON YOUR FEEDBACK, IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE THE INCORRECT SIZE OR THE SLIGHTLY FIRMER SINUS CONES MATERIAL IS TOO FIRM FOR YOU, SINCE YOU ARE REPORTING THAT THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE. THERE SHOULD NEVER BE ANY DISCOMFORT, IF THERE IS A SMALLER SIZE OR SOFTER MATERIALS IS RECOMMENDED. YOU MAY EXCHANGE THE MEDIUM SIZE SINUS CONES FOR A SMALLER SIZE OR FOR THE SOFTER MAX-AIR NOSE CONES. OR IF YOU RATHER YOU MAY RETURN THE CONES FOR A REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE.
Ron Huesman –
Have purchased large and medium size nose cones in the past. Found that medium size fit best. These were starting to loose shape, so I bought medium size sinus cones. The package sizing says medium, but sinus cones seem smaller than the nose cones. The fit is not good.
Brian Moore (verified owner) –
I’ve been wearing them for 2 weeks now. Might have helped a little with the night congestion but still snoring. HI BRIAN THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW TWO THOUGHTS, 1) YOU MAY REQUIRE THE NEXT LARGER SIZE BECAUSE YOU SHOULD FEEL A SUBSTANTIAL AND IMMEDIATE IMPROVEMENT IN NASAL AIRFLOW UPON INSERTION. OR 2) POSSIBLY YOUR OBSTRUCTION IS FURTHER BACK IN THE NASAL AIRWAY (OR WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS POSTERIOR OBSTRUCTION. WHEN OBSTRUCTION IS POSTERIOR, SURGERY IS USUALLY THE ONLY OPTION FOR RELIEF. SINCE WE OFFER A 30-DAY REFUND OF YOUR PURCHASE PRICE, YOU MAY RETURN THE CONES.

I have a deviated septum that has gotten progressively worse over the last few years.
While I’m waiting until I can get my surgery, my doctor reccomend ed I try this product for relief.
I sleep much better, and my thinking got a bit clearer too.
The use and care instructions were well written and clearly illustrated. The fact that this product can last for 90 days makes it quite a good value.
When I had made my order incorrectly, I was pleasantly surprised to not be on hold, and helped efficiently and professionally. On another order, my product was back-ordered, so an immediate refund was made. When the product was available not long after, and I reordered.
I’ve owned my own business for 17 years.
I greatly this kind of appreciate courtesy and professionalism. These kind of values are seen
far to little these days.
Keep up the great work!

I was introduce to Sinus Cones while at my doctors office seeking help with snoring. The ones I tried (Max-Air small) worked well however they became soft and I wanted to try another type that would offer more support. I ordered the Sinus Cones. Once I received them I noticed only one pair as compared to two pair with the Max-Air. At the price of $22.60 and $4.99 shipping I assumed that there would be two, after looking again at the information on the Sinus Cones it states “1-set of two medium – SINUS CONES”. My fault for not reading closely, I won’t be ordering more at that price.
Danette Lacki (verified owner) –
These are too wide at the back for someone with a deviated septum. The product digs into the septum at the rear of the nostril, where it is narrow and it is painful and actually causes nosebleeds.
E. T. Taylor (verified owner) –
This works very well. Definitely recommend the nasal cones for sinus issues. No medications needed!!!
Anna (verified owner) –
I love sinus cones and I am have been using them for a long time. However, I really do not understand why 2 little plastic cones should cost $23 plus shipping. They last for about 2-3 months and then they need to be replaced. The price has never changed in more than 10 years. HI ANNA – THANKS FOR YOUR REVIEW, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE TO SAY THAT IS IT A BIT CONTRADICTORY. THREE MONTHS OF GREAT SLEEP AT 25 CENTS PER NIGHT AND 10 YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL USE, SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT OPTION IN NASAL AIRWAY RELIEF. ALL OF OUR ENGINEERING, MANUFACTURING AND PACKAGING IS MADE IN THE USA. WE HAVE TRIED TO CONTAIN OUR COSTS, WHICH HAS BEEN DIFFICULT, BUT WE WANT TO PROVIDE OUR CUSTOMERS WITH SAFE, WELL-ENGINEERED PRODUCTS FOR THE SLEEP OF YOUR DREAMS.
Marjorie Rotella –
I have sleep apnea and use a CPAP full-face mask. I have had problems with my nasal passages most of my life and am a “mouth breather”. I also have had 3 surgeries on my nose to correct the problems and was told that there could be no more. The sinus cones are great. I first got the size small which did help but once I got the white sinus cones size medium I find that I am sleeping through the night and maybe someday I will be able to do away with the CPAP all together. One nasal passage is so crooked I can only use one cone in my good nasal passage.
I will definately be buying these again and again. The one keeps my nasal airway clear the whole night so I get double the use just using one at a time. The price is reasonable and I take excellent care of that little cone!
Anne Piper (verified owner) –
My husband has snoring issues, which were keeping me up at night and giving him issues with sound sleep. The nose cones are totally effective in relieving his snoring issues. Sometimes he will start to snore and then it stops so that we may peacefully sleep through the night. I highly recommend these. They are soft and easy to wear with no complaints.

I’m sure these things work for many people but not for us. My husband said I snored loudly all night which I normally don’t do at all! Bought for opening sinuses better and husband didn’t sleep well with them in either. Obviously didn’t work for us. Appear well made and fast delivery. Hi THANKS FOR YOUR REVIEW, SORRY TO HEAR THAT THE CONES DID NOT WORK OUT FOR YOU, ALTHOUGH IF THE CONES CAUSED YOU TO SNORE, THAT INDICATES THAT THEY ARE TOO SMALL FOR YOU AND OBSTRUCTED THE FLOW OF AIR RATHER THAN OPENED IT. IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THE NOSE CONES MIGHT BE A BETTER SELECTION FOR YOU. YOU MAY RETURN THE CONES FOR A REFUND OR AN EXCHANGE TO ANOTHER SIZE AND TYPE.

J Napper –
I am so glad I found your website. I have suffered with chronic sinusitis for years, medication having had little effect. I am on my third pair because they really do work! As soon as I tried them out I realised how little air gets through my nostrils normally, due I think to the internal workings of my nose. Air conditioning, chemical fumes and damp weather, never mind colds or infections, all bring on the pain, but a few nights (some times days as well if I am at home and no-one can see me!) clears the congestion and the pain. Such a simple, drug free solution. Thank you.

I can now breathe through my right nostril at night. The cartilage had collapsed and your nose cone really helps.

They upen up the nostril airways, but seem to tickle the inside of the nose after several hours (midway through the night). It takes a little getting used to them, but overall they do help my breathing better and snoring problems.
Brandon Molletti (verified owner) –
So far, I love my sinus cones. The only negative thing I have to say is they like to slide out about 1/8th of an inch after a few hours of sleep. The 1/8th of an inch really makes a difference with my deviated septum. Whenever I wake up, I push them back up. Perhaps if the design included some tiny soft barb hooks to help prevent unwanted downward movement, it might help. Just a thought. Thank you. HI BRANDON THANKS FOR YOUR REVIEW – IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH YOUR NOSE IS BETTER SUITED TO THE MAX-AIR NOSE CONES, WHICH ARE A LITTLE BIT SOFTER AND WILL FLEX A BIT MORE AND BE RETAINED BETTER.

There are two main points about your product, one, that you all advise replacing them at 90 days which gets expensive and two, I have already lost one and cannot find it. You all don’t give any advice on how to avoid losing one in the middle of the night. I found the attachment plastic that connects the two to be stiff and awkward so I cut the pieces like you all advise. Well, I have one left and am not prepared to spend another $20 to buy another pair. Your product works well but there is missing how to info and not enough thought given to night time sleepers who lose items HI ANA – THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW, WE SUGGEST THAT YOU CALL TECH SUPPORT FOR ASSISTANCE WITH SIZING, IF YOU HAVE TRIED THE TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET THAT IS ENCLOSED IN THE PACKAGE.

They work by opening up the nasal passages as advertised. Mine would just not stay in place at night. I move around while sleeping and they constantly fell out or was pushing them back in. I have awfull sinus infections and diviated septum and was really hoping it would help. If you have a runny nose, which you want (to drain)if you deal with sinusitis, your constantly having to remove them to blow your nose. I found the nose strips to work much better. The cost is outrageous for 2 small plastic pieces.

Karen Young (verified owner) –
I can’t decide which cones worked the best. They did an amazing job of keeping the air flow open while I slept. Usually, I use Flonase and Vicks rub. With those I never made it through the night without the side I was laying on blocking up. The white cones, I like the fit and they stay put, but I have managed to lose them during the night. I can tell they are in, because they are firmer. I have not seperated the two. I only bought the one pair, so I’m hesitant to seperate them. I’ll consider that when I re-order.
Scott Moulton (verified owner) –
I bought this because it is advertised for use with CPAP’s.
This is not True!
Many CPAP’s use nasal pillows. The cones prevent the pillows from sealing and cause blow by air which will not allow you to sleep at all! You can’t breath and the noise will keep you up.
They better change the claim or they will have many complaints .

While I would prefer not needing anything to help me breathe at night, the sinus cones have made a huge difference. My sinus trouble was triggered off by a CPAP machine that was set too high.

I am quite pleased with the sinus cones. I am able to breathe much easier and sleep much better. The only issue I have had is that the cones have a tendency to drop out during the night.

extremely disappointed,no effect or improvement whatsoever with my sinus problem, plus unexpected expense of £11.25 for customs import duty before the mailman would deliver them to my address, add this to the cost of the cones and the postage required by your company it turns out to be a very expensive and not a very effective product,but i will just have to put it down to one of life’s unfortunate experiences. HI ROGER – WE RARELY HAVE OUTCOMES THAT YOU HAVE DESCRIBE, SO WE”D APPRECIATE A LITTLE MORE INPUT.

Neil Brunton (verified owner) –
I guess the shapes of noses are individual and varied. The Sinus Cones simply improve my breathing and, in fact, to a small degree, seemed to retard the outflow of air. I did try many different angles and insertion methods but no soap.
They are, however, soft, and not irritating to sleep with, so if they are effective for you wouldn’t mind wearing them.
Mine are being returned.

Have been snoring for more than two decades! Along the way I’ve tried different suggested solutions like jaw displacement mouthpieces, nose strips and ointments. None worked.
I reluctantly decided to try the MaxiAir Sinus Cones and voila, the snoring was almost completely eliminated the first night I used them. I have now been using them for about 5 weeks and the “proof of the pudding” is when I ask my wife in the morning how she slept, her consistent answer has been “very well”. I find that I start off with them in and then after 3 – 4 hours, I can remove them without any significant adverse effect. My wife says that on the occasions she’s heard me, the snoring has been reduced by about 80%. Interestingly, using them does not bring any discomfort though you are aware that there is something there!
I am so happy with this product, I recently purchased a spare so as to not be without it for any length of time.

These remained on throughout the night. Only 1 pair is included in the box (unlike the Max-Air, which includes two sets), but they’re less likely to fall off and get lost. I don’t recommend separating the pair as this would make it more difficult to find if they do fall off.
