Happy World Sleep Day neighbours! Or is it? At Patney we believe a good night’s sleep is key to finding the energy to live your life to the fullest, so on World Sleep Day we're here to talk about snoring!

Anyone can be affected by snoring, at any time in their lives. Patney’s founder Frances Anderson has experienced first-hand the impact snoring can have on your energy levels, confidence and happiness.

Frances spent years searching for an effective way to control her snoring, to no avail. Fed up and exhausted, Frances set out on a journey to create her own solution. The Patney sleep positioner is the result of an intensive research, development and testing process.

Frances sought independent validation of the Patney sleep positioner through the University of Otago. The independent study proved the Patney sleep positioner is an effective way to control snoring.

No one should have to put up with snoring. Take a look at Patney and experience the benefits a good night’s sleep can bring. We offer a 30-day money back guarantee, so on World Sleep Day you can celebrate having had a great night's sleep!

Be our guest!

Waikato Regional Council

Hi neighbours. Is erosion a problem on your farm? Join us in Waikaretu or Cambridge to hear how poplars and willows could be the solution for erosion prone hillsides and streams. Their extensive root systems bind and hold the soil in place, and some varieties also provide shelter and wind breaks.

A new form of reusable toilet paper has emerged as an environmentally superior alternative to flushing all those trees away.

Introducing family cloth, a stack of soft fabric wipes that you keep beside the toilet.

Instead of one-time-only toilet paper that you use and flush away, pick up a family cloth and simply wipe, throw in the communal washing basket, rinse, and repeat.

So, would you give family cloth a go?

Please let us know if you don't wish for your comment to be considered for print.
