Sleep on the same side again.

The honest truth
Snoring isn't a sleep problem. It's a relationship problem.
He doesn't notice. You do. Earplugs help for a week. The guest room becomes the new normal. There's a better answer that doesn't involve sleeping apart.
- You've slept on the couch enough
- Earplugs gave you headaches and didn't help
- Chin straps look (and feel) ridiculous
- $1,200 dental appliances feel extreme
The ritual
Three steps. Twenty seconds.
Designed to slot into your existing nightly routine — no apps, no batteries, no fitting.
Peel
Pull a strip from the box. Two skin tones — one for each of you.
Place
Apply gently across the center of your lips. Air slit lets you breathe and talk.
Sleep
Lights out. Nose breathing kicks in. Wake up rested, on the same side of the bed.
The hero SKU
The Couple Box — 60 nights
60 strips. Two skin tones. 30 nights per person. The default ritual — and the most-ordered box we ship.
Built to disappear
Four layers. Each one earns its place.
Most mouth tapes feel like a band-aid pressed against your face. Ours is engineered to vanish — soft cotton against your lips, surgical-grade adhesive that peels clean, and a central air slit that means you're never trapped behind it.
- 01 · Two skin tones. Color-coded so you don't mix them up. One for each side of the bed.
- 02 · Central air slit. Your safety valve. Air still moves. You can still talk to your partner.
- 03 · Hypoallergenic adhesive. Medical-grade. The kind used in surgical dressings. Peels clean, never pulls skin.
- 04 · Cotton comfort backing. Soft against the lip line. Breathable. You'll forget it's there by night three.
Side-by-side
Why couples switch to TRUCE.
Most of the alternatives were built for one person. We built ours for two.
Nose breathing, on the record
Why your nose is built for this.
Nasal breathing filters, humidifies, and regulates airflow. Mouth breathing skips all three. The studies have been clear for years.

I cried a little at the third morning.
Second night in, he didn't snore. Third night, I cried a little. I forgot what mornings could feel like.
Back in the same bed.
We were sleeping in separate rooms three nights a week. Now we're not. That's it. That's the review.
The only one we both stuck with.
The pairs thing is genius — it doesn't feel like fixing him, it feels like a ritual we share.
Forgotten by night three.
Night one I was very aware of it. Night three I forgot it was there. Night ten my husband asked why he stopped waking himself up.
Cheaper than the guest mattress.
Spent more on a noise machine that didn't work. This was $39. We share the bed again.
$400 dental device, gathering dust.
Tried a $400 dental appliance from our dentist. It collected dust on the bathroom shelf. TRUCE has been on our nightstand since Monday.
The risk is on us
30 nights, or your money back.
Try TRUCE for 30 nights. If you and your partner aren't sleeping quieter — and waking up on the same side of the bed — send it back. Full refund. No restocking fee. We don't need the used strips back, just the unused ones.
Why we made this
The product that ended our snore war.
We tried earplugs, white-noise machines, a $300 mouthguard, and the guest room — in that order. The mouth tape category existed but was sold to lone biohackers, not to couples sharing a bed.
TRUCE is the version we wished we had. Designed for two faces. Two skin tones in every box. A nightly ritual, not a medical intervention.

Common questions
Things couples ask before night one.
The full list is on the FAQ page. These are the four we get most.
Will it stay on all night?
Yes. The medical-grade adhesive lasts 8+ hours and peels off without skin pull.
What if I need to breathe through my mouth?
The central air slit is your safety valve. Air still moves through the slit. You can talk to your partner. You can drink water. If you have a stuffy nose mid-night, the slit means you're not trapped behind it.
What if only one of us snores?
The Couple Box still pays off. Nasal breathing improves sleep quality for the non-snorer too. Most couples end up doing it together as a ritual, not a fix for one person.
How does the 30-night promise work?
Try it for 30 nights. If you're not sleeping quieter, email us with your order number. We send a prepaid return label. Refund hits your card within 3 business days. No restocking fee.
