How do you deal with a partner who snores?

My husband snores SO loudly. I love him but I am losing my mind from sleep deprivation.
We have tried:
- Nose strips - no help
- Different pillow positions - temporary fix
- White noise machine - helps slightly
He refuses to do a sleep study (stubborn). Any other solutions before I resort to separate bedrooms?

A wedge pillow to elevate his head might help. Snoring is often worse when lying flat. Also, is he a back sleeper? Side sleeping reduces snoring for most people.
I know he refuses but a sleep study could reveal sleep apnea which is serious. Maybe frame it as a health concern rather than just the snoring? CPAP changed my marriage lol.

Community answers are the lived experience half of the picture. The other half is measured data. Everything below comes from our own lab work in Encinitas, where we record pressure-mapping results, surface-temperature change over an eight-hour night, motion transfer, and edge-support deflection on every mattress we buy. Use the discussion above for real-world ownership detail — how a bed felt after a year, how a brand handled a warranty claim, whether a sale price was actually a discount — and use the guides below to check those impressions against repeatable measurements before you spend money.
