Why Side Sleepers Are Ditching Traditional Earplugs for Silicone Designs

If you're constantly being jolted awake by a snoring partner or noisy city traffic, you're not alone. Many of us are on a never-ending quest for a good night's sleep. To help, Loop has released their new "Dream" earplugs, designed specifically to help light sleepers and side sleepers finally get some peace and quiet .

Made for comfort, even if you sleep on your side

Traditional earplugs can be bulky and painful, especially if you sleep on your side. The Loop Dream earplugs are different—they feature a low-profile, soft silicone design . Because they are so slim, they don't press against your ear, meaning they stay comfortable and in place all night long .

A fit that's made for you

Everyone's ears are different, so Loop includes four different sizes of ear tips in every set. You can choose between foam-silicone or double-tip options to get the perfect seal . This snug fit provides 27 dB of noise reduction, which is enough to muffle annoying sounds like snoring or distant cars .

What can you actually hear?

It's worth noting that these earplugs don't create total silence. Instead, they significantly lower the volume of the world around you . You'll likely find that quiet background noises—like the hum of a fridge—disappear completely, while louder sounds like a barking dog become much softer and less disruptive .

Since the company was founded in 2016, they've been dedicated to creating these types of passive noise-reduction designs to help people manage their environment in a noisy world .
