Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Can sleep again
I bought this product to be able to sleep better with a husband who snores. He still snores and I can still hear him but the Sleep Mate has taken the edge off outside, inside noises. It has been a great help and I do recommend it to any one that needs to block unwanted sounds.
Rating:  - Good product, help me sleep throught the night
I bought this product after reading reviews at Amazon.com. I have problem waking up several times a night, but when using this product when I wake up at night I can go back to sleep right away. That's was amazing.
Rating: - Good but wish it was a little louder
The white noise this little machine makes is great - just a soft, constant whooshing sound of air being passed through the slots in the sides and top of the machine.

(Although you can adjust the tone and volume somewhat by rotating the top and side panels, the maximum volume is still a bit quiet.)

I placed it in several different locations in my bedroom but it didn't help. I finally decided to place it in the shipping box and return it. So much for the "natural" method - I guess my next step will be sleep-aid drugs.
Rating:  - Average product, not a panacea.
This sound conditioner came with glowing reviews on Amazon, so I may have expected too much. This system is essentially a small fan, with a limited variable speed setting, but it's not more than open holes (pictured) with sliding closures, and is somewhat disruptive (a humidifier, for example, would serve a similar purpose). It is good in canceling out potentially distracting sounds, but I can't honestly say it's better than relative silence. It's fairly priced, and is compactly designed, but I was ... Read More
