Before You Buy A Machine, Read This
If snoring is the problem you are trying to solve, there is a big practical difference between a bedside machine setup and a 15 gram device worn under the chin. Here is the honest side-by-side on cost, size, travel and living with each.
One thing before the comparison
CPAP machines are prescribed medical treatment for diagnosed sleep apnoea. RestWell is a consumer anti-snoring device, and it is not a substitute for any prescribed therapy. This page is for people dealing with snoring who are weighing up what to try. If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnoea, your treatment plan belongs with your doctor.

What The Small Option Looks Like
Thirty seconds before bed, no appointments required.
Peel and stick
A soft adhesive patch under the chin holds the 15 gram device. No fitting, no adjustment appointments.
It senses snoring
Vibration sensors pick up snoring as it starts. It stays idle until it is needed.
Gentle pulses respond
Soft pulses help settle the snoring while you stay asleep. Three intensity levels.
People Who Tried The Small Option First
Real reviews submitted by RestWell customers. 200+ started their trial in the last month.
Bought for the 30-Night Risk-Free Trial. Figured I'd return it. No way I'm sending this back. Sleeping deep again for the first time in years.
Bit weird at first wearing something under the chin but you forget about it after night two. The snoring drop is massive. Wife confirmed.
Bring it on every work trip. Roommate at the lodge last month said he didn't hear a thing. That's a first.
Charge case, peel patch, stick it on, sleep. That's it. Wish more things were this simple.
Try The $149.99 Option First
If snoring is the problem, the small option arrives this week, costs less than a tank of petrol a month over a year, and comes with 30 nights to give it a fair go. If it is not right for you, get in touch and we will sort it, and you have lost nothing but a fortnight of quiet experimenting.
The Fair Questions
Including the medical one
Is RestWell a substitute for a CPAP machine?
No. CPAP is prescribed medical treatment for diagnosed sleep apnoea. RestWell is a consumer anti-snoring device and does not treat sleep apnoea or any medical condition. If you have been diagnosed, or you regularly gasp or choke in your sleep, see your doctor, and do not change prescribed treatment without them.
So who is this page for?
Snorers who have not been diagnosed with anything and are weighing up what to try. If the problem you are solving is snoring, it makes sense to try the $149.99, 15 gram, 30-night-trial option before committing thousands to a machine setup.
What does RestWell actually do?
It sits under the chin on a soft adhesive patch, senses snoring as it starts, and responds with gentle pulses to help settle it while you sleep. No mask, no hose, nothing to plug in overnight.
What if it does not work for my snoring?
You have 30 nights to give it a fair go, starting the day it arrives. If it is still not right, get in touch and we will sort it. Full details in our refund policy. Machines are rarely returnable, which is exactly why we suggest trying the returnable thing first.
What are the real costs of each option?
RestWell is $149.99 upfront, or four payments of $37.50 with Afterpay, with adhesive patch refills as the only ongoing cost. Machine setups vary widely, but with masks, parts and replacements they are commonly quoted in the thousands over time. Check current NZ pricing for yourself, it is worth the ten minutes.
