Have been using this mask offered by our hosts for several years and love it.
What do you mean by "our hosts"?

It was a great idea to do this for the community, since through personal experience he or she can design such a better pillow. I think so anyway. Because the article was a bit hard to find on the website, just for reference for anyone else who might want to buy this pillow this is the link.
Marlawn, thanks for this reference. I was not aware of it!
That's OK!

I finally found the type of pillow I like after a lot of run around. I ordered the Mypillow, but unfortunately went by their sizing chart. I hated the pillow because it did not have enough stuffing - other than that it was comfortable. I finally got the company to send me the largest size they had, which has a lot of fill. I really love it. I found some cheap imitations of this pillow and bought 3 of them.

In the meantime, I bought a really cheap buckwheat pillow just to see what it felt like to sleep with. AWFUL!! Way too hard and it made some noise when I moved around. So I was happy not to have spent a lot for one of these. I just keep it in my trash pillows pile - for guests and such!

Good to know you keep your trash pillows for guests

Have you tried the pillow mentioned here? Quite a few people including me think it is great: http://www.pillowanswers.com/cpap-pillo ... -sleepers/
