We're very pleased to introduce the Zeus anti-snore device by Morgan IAT which is placed under-the-chin to provide non-invasive electrical stimulation to target some of the common causes of snoring - the tongue and throat area.
We really are delighted now that the Zeus is available for sale, at this stage for Snorers only, but the product is still in development by the the manufacturer, Morgan IAT, and the next stage will be a clinical trial to hopefully develop a 2nd version of the Zeus if proven to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) and our charity will be helping with this research.
The Zeus has been in careful development for several years by the highly reputable UK manufacturer, Morgan IAT, who originally worked on the technology at Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation with Professor Joerg Steier (Professor of Respiratory/Sleep Medicine, Medical Advisor of our Hope2Sleep Charity and President of the British Sleep Society). The technology was successfully trialled for OSA in the Non-invasive Electrical Stimulation 'Tesla Trial' and a further trial is due soon.
You can also watch our webinar with Professor Joerg Steier and Morgan IAT by scrolling down to the bottom of this page, for information directly from the mouths of the experts, or on our YouTube Channel.
At present the Zeus is not listed as a medical device which is why it should only be used by snorers who have not been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea, and therefore, at this time VAT relief cannot be given. However, subject to outcomes of the next clinical trial this will hopefully change. If you are unsure if your snoring is a sign of sleep apnoea then please ask your GP for a referral to your local sleep clinic for a sleep study, or you can even take our private sleep apnoea diagnostic home sleep study.
Although the Zeus has been manufactured to treat snorers where the cause is from the tongue and throat area, we at the Hope2Sleep Charity were keen to volunteer to work with Morgan IAT in recruiting snorers to take part in some testing of the device before it was available to purchase, and without knowing what type of snorers had volunteered, we were very pleased with the outcome of the testing which resulted in the following:-
82% of participants experienced reduced episodes of snoring with 63% of participants experiencing a significant difference in the number of snoring episodes.
82% of participants stated they had better quality of sleep or the device had no impact to their quality of sleep.
64% of participants experienced little to no disruption falling asleep when the stimulation commenced on Night 1 of use and that increased to 91 % by Night 7.
55% of participants experienced a decrease in their snoring volume levels.
27% of participants stated that they could identify a difference to their alertness through the day whilst wearing the Zeus device at night for only 7 days.
40% of partners noticed a reduction in their partner’s snoring.
Conclusion
This was a random evaluation of snorers, there was no pre-selection as to cause, which meant that it was highly probable that Zeus would not be effective for all participants as proved to be the case with 22% of the participants gaining no benefit from the device. However, the result that 82% of participants did experience some reduction in their snoring is extremely encouraging and shows that the clinical theory behind the Zeus technology is valid and very effective.
The fact that 27% felt that they could detect an improvement in their daytime alertness is particularly significant as Zeus was only used for 7 days. (If this is the case, then there's a very good chance that with longer usage in the testing, a higher percentage would have felt more daytime benefits as the body began to experience more refreshed restorative sleep without the snoring).
The overall conclusion is, therefore, that Zeus will be an excellent anti-snoring device for many snorers.

The Zeus has been manufactured with simplicity in mind, so there is no need to use any apps. However, you may wish to monitor your snoring and check for improvements whilst using the Zeus. There are several apps available for this and one free one we would recommend is by leading ENT surgeon specialising in snoring and sleep apnoea, Dr Vik Veer, which contains no adverts. You can find this in the app stores and it's called 'Snore Doctor.'
Zeus the Snoring Solution
Zeus is small, unobtrusive, reusable and attaches underneath the chin with disposable adhesive stimulation pads.
Treatment is carried out by the application of mild electrical stimulation to the pads attached under the chin.
Pulses of stimulation contract the muscles in the throat associated with maintaining clear and open airways, but without waking the user.
Zeus is a sleekly designed anti-snore device developed in partnership with leading sleep doctors especially for throat snorers.
Comfortable and unobtrusive, Zeus gently stimulates the tongue muscles to open airways - the root cause of snoring, to aid blissful, uninterrupted sleep.

Sleep comes easy with Zeus
Zeus anti-snore’s compact design sits perfectly underneath the chin via skin friendly, gel adhesive stimulation pads.
Here’s the science bit…Treatment is carried out by the application of mild electrical stimulation to the pads attached under the chin. These gentle pulses contract the muscles in the throat associated with clear, open airways - yet all without waking the user.
Zeus Anti-Snore comes with 7 flexible, multilayer Z-pads with protective film. These pads are safe, hygienic and non-irritating to the skin, and are made of a soft and stretchable material which easily conforms to the Zeus device and all chin/jaw shapes.
Each pad sticks to the device and the wearer’s chin using medical grade biocompatible adhesive.
This hydrogel is designed for excellent electrical conductivity, low irritation and high adhesion.

The Zeus is for snorers only and is not marketed as a medical advice for. As previously mentioned, it is hoped that a Version 2 Zeus will be available after more development and research to be marketed as a medical device to treat obstructive sleep apnoea if proven.
The Zeus is not effective for sufferers of nasal snoring, as the device specifically targets the snoring caused by the tongue and throat areas.
The Zeus is not suitable for users who have long facial hair under the chin as this will prevent adherence with the hydrogel z-pads. (Short stubble should be okay, but beards typically will not hold the device well throughout the night).
Sadly, we are currently unable to sell or ship the Zeus into the USA due to FDA regulations. The FDA classify snoring as a medical condition and there are concerns that consumers with undiagnosed OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnoea) may use Zeus rather than visiting their doctor, which leads to issues with insurance. Morgan IAT are undertaking clinical trials for OSA however, which will hopefully show Zeus’s efficacy against this condition.
ZEUS MUST NOT BE USED IN THE FOLLOWING CIRCUMSTANCES:-
Do not use in conjunction with metal implants in the head or neck region. (Fillings and dental implants are fine).
The device provides electrical stimulation of muscle, therefore the device is not suitable for users with pacemakers or heart arrhythmias (if in doubt, consult a medical professional).
Due to the range of different neck sizes in the population the Zeus unit may not be effective for all. Please contact us if you have any further questions regarding your suitability.

Do not apply to swollen, infected, inflamed areas or broken skin.
Age range: AdultsFrequency of use is recommended up to 9 hours per night, every night. Environment: Zeus is a device for home use.
I bought the Zeus electro stimulation device and hoped it would be the solution, alas it is not. It’s easy to fit and adjust and I drop off to sleep no problem with the device on. You have to be clean shaven to get the best contact for the gel pads aswell. I hoped it would fix my snoring but my wife and the spare bed says it hasn’t ☹️

Response:
Very sorry to hear this Gary and thanks for the fair review. It sounds like your snoring isn't caused by the tongue and throat areas. It's worth looking into other products for nasal snoring like nasal strips or dilators, but if you've not had a sleep study, do consider this in case your snoring is actually sleep apnoea.
Having tried this on the highest setting I’ve found it only helps partially if I sleep with the pillow pressed against device while on my side If it was stronger I’m sure it would help so much more I can barely feel it otherwise and once I change position it stops working I’ve even tried extra tape to fix it more securely an pressed in more but to no availEven placed it in different places to make sure Shame it can’t be returned But if anyone wants a 2nd hand one I’m happy to pass on

I bought this service to stop me snoring and provide alternative to CPAP device I use. And here is an interesting thing about it. It sometimes work and sometimes don't. This device will not work at it best if you consumed alcohol. Additionally the conductivity depends of how well hydrated you were through the day and before going to bed. I like to shower before going to bed and what I noticed that the device felt like stronger shocks on those nights compared to nights without shower. Over all it is good device if you are looking relief from CPAP.
This review has not been appraised.
Thanks for the review, and it makes perfect sense too that when alcohol is consumed the snoring and sleep apnoea will get worse, so the intensity of the Zeus won't be able to cope on those nights.Interesting observations you've noticed on nights after a hot shower.The Zeus isn't intended as a replacement for CPAP though, but hope the future trials will show it will help and we'll post the results when available.Good to hear you're finding it beneficial most nights.
A solid well made product, which does what it says what it can do, helps with snoringWould recommend you purchase the extra sticky pads at the same time. I found it good to practice the placement in a good mirror before taking off the backing.I found the device sometimes feel like it was stretching my skin. But in general when I got the placement correct it was fairly comfortable and was easy to forget it. Would recommend the website shows Inc vat as it's individuals that are buying it and not someone who would claim vat back.Thank you this is really helping to stop my snoring.
Great to hear the Zeus is working well for you and thanks for the tips to help others 😊
Looks like I wasted £125 on this item. It certainly had no effect whatsoever. Tried a couple of times and different stimulation settings but still did not have any positive effect for me. So back to the CPAP
Sorry to hear this Steve, but the Zeus is clearly described as for snoring and not sleep apnoea (although there will be future studies on this in the hope it will treat sleep apnoea in suitable patients). We can understand your desperation to try the Zeus though if you're struggling with CPAP and please do contact us for support if this is the case.
I bought this having watched Vik Veer reviewing it on YouTube. It is a snoring not a sleep apnoea aid but it is helping both. I use it with a chin strap and nasal dilators but still average 80%+ snore time. Without it, I’m near 100% so even 20% is a win! Not sure if it’s my imagination but think it might also be having an affect on my turkey neck, it looks less obvious but maybe wishful thinking 😂!

Great to hear you're making progress Eleanor and that the Zeus is helping with this 😊
The Gel Z-Pads can only be evaluated as part of the Zeus device.I've gotten to the point where I'm attaching them correctly to the device (using the correct side) and to my chin.It took a couple of nights to understand the directions and get the device to stay on.Given that the anti-snore market consists of older people, Zeus should consider printing directions that don't need to be read with a magnifying glass.There is a video review on the web evaluating the Zeus and I made all the same mistakes that the reviewer made: Not realizing the charger is part of the device, not realizing there was a tape that had to be removed before the device would charge, understanding what the instructions were referring to when they discussed the side of the tape with one hole vs two. Watching Vik's video that explains the Zeus again was helpful.This is the only sleep device which has stayed on the enter night, that includes cpap, vpap, bongos, another nasal blocking device and a custom fitted dental appliance.However, whether it is effective has yet to be determined.My partner had moved into another room because of my snoring.I'm going to need her come back to evaluate whether I am snoring less when using the Zeus.If it is really working, it would be breakthrough for me.

Thanks for your in-depth review and we really are pleased you've now found something that appears to be working well for you 😊
Shipping
We try our best to ship all orders received by us Monday-Friday on the same working day if received before 12 noon, and more often than not orders processed before 3pm will be despatched the same day whenever possible. Weekend or UK bank holiday orders are sent out the next working day. An automated email is sent when products have been despatched so please check your spam box and add us to your safe senders list. Also, if you do not receive an email confirmation, please check that you have typed the correct email address in your account.
All orders are sent via 1st class mail within the UK. Masks and some other more expensive products are always sent via 'signed for' insured delivery and cannot be left in 'safe' places, but there is the option for an alternative shipping address when processing the orders.
Delivery charges are worked out automatically by weight and you can clearly see the delivery charges before making a payment. On the rare occasion delivery charges are miscalculated by the website, a refund will be sent, as it is not our policy to make money on postage charges and neither do we add the cost of delivery into the price and offer so-called 'free delivery' like some sites and Ebay pressurise sellers to do!
Wherever possible with larger parcels, we try to re-use boxes to keep shipping costs down and protect the environment.
If a product is out of stock and the order contains multiple items, the 'in stock' items will be sent immediately and further items will follow upon arrival with no further postage charges incurred.
Important for International Orders
We can ship most products internationally, but all prices are in UK British Pounds and if paying by debit or credit card the bank will automatically convert to the current conversation rate. Likewise, if you choose the Paypal option, they will convert into your currency for you as payment is made.
International orders are sent via tracked Airmail, and whilst we're happy to ship internationally, we cannot be held responsible for any delays at Customs at your end, or charges that may be added in your own country, such as customs fees and import tax on delivery, which are determined by your country’s import laws and are beyond our control. Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to pay these charges, and certain courier companies will not be able to deliver the goods to you without pre-payment of any charges. From our experience, it appears to be randomised as to which parcels incur extra charges, but please know that all accompanying paperwork is filled in correctly when shipping and there is nothing more we can do, as much as we'd like to.If you purchase from us out of the UK or you move to another country after purchasing products, please be aware that the warranty for CPAP machines, masks and parts from the manufacturers are under warranty with the manufacturer based in the UK, so you will be responsible for sending the product back to us and will need to pay postage to get the product back to you after exchange or repair, as the manufacturer will not pay for shipping in any country outside of the UK.
Masks, CPAP machines and and most other products are exempt from a refund or exchange unless faulty due to health and hygiene issues - as stated in our 'Terms and Conditions', and in particular due to the risk of cross contamination as they cannot be re-sold. The Consumer Contracts Regulations 28.(3)(a) confirms exemption as follows:- "exemption in the case of a contract for the supply of sealed goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if they become unsealed after delivery."
Unopened (sealed) products in their original packing can be returned within 14 days for a refund of the product cost, but the purchaser is to pay the return postage, and we would advise retaining proof of postage. This excludes any faulty goods, for which postage will be reimbursed. A full refund for the price of the product will be issued when received by us, less the original postage charges when the order was sent to you.
Unfortunately, VAT relief is not applicable on this product, as it is either an item not solely for use for people with "a condition which the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness." Please refer to this link at HMRC as it is a serious offence to allow or claim zero rated VAT relief on ineligible items https://www.gov.uk/guidance/reliefs-from-vat-for-disabled-and-older-people-notice-7017#goodseligible
