I used one of Bret's pillows, actually got an older one and a newer larger one. I preferred the older smaller one and my wife now uses the larger one. I like that I can mold it and it just stays there...

Great pillows!

I got this pillow the last time Bret made this offer. Used all the materials supplied, and added a very thin regular pillow under it for the exact height to keep my neck straight and head flat. I've found this pillow great for keeping the position I go to sleep with.

If I am new with my cpap still and looking for a better pillow should I apply or are you looking for someone with more experience with cpap pillows?

The seeds have approximately the same shape as the hulls,
--a naturally formed Reuleaux tetrahedron, or very close to that.
When cooked, it is similar to rice, but toastier, good sweet or savory.

*blink* "The Reuleaux tetrahedron is the intersection of four spheres of radius s centered at the vertices of a regular tetrahedron with side length s."

The kids in the Maker group were printing them on the 3-D printer, larger, of course.
Amazing shape! Like ball bearings that are much less likely to roll onto the floor.
And we keep bumping this nice guy, because he's an awesome dude!

I wanted to thank everybody who contacted me about this offer via email (as directed).

The offer was over-subscribed but I decided to let everybody who contacted me into the trial. Your pillows will ship by the end of the week (they required special packaging).

The offer is now closed but people should still feel free to contact me. It's always good to have beta testers!

I would also like to say thanks for all of the other great feedback on this thread and so many others.

Looking forward to the additional feedback from the current group in the weeks to come.

Bret

I wanted to bump this thread because I am looking for some more beta testers.

I have found that people with what I call "high pillow IQ" provide me with the most useful feedback. What I mean is that people who have a personal interest in pillows and have tried a variety of different pillows over the years but still have not found the perfect pillow.

I have finally been able to get the pillow made in a custom quilt that is much thicker and more stable (more quiet, too) than anything in the past.

It is not yet available in the cpap brand pillow but I am trying to get feedback and reviews on a related brand where I am selling the new quilt. It's the same product, despite the branding difference (in other words, it works great with cpap).

If you would like to participate please send me an email: sleepguy@comcast.net

Please explain your experience and interest in pillows and why you want to participate.

I only have a limited supply at this time but the new quilt is a substantial improvement. I can almost guarantee you will love it. Even my harshest product critic (my brother) can't live without this new version. He even took it to Australia on vacation.

I am way excited to hear what people think about it.

I also have the latest pillow that came with both buckwheat and foam. I added another bag of foam that Brett sent me. This combination works great. It helps my arthritic neck a lot.
Thank you again.

I received this pillow from Brett and after trying many other pillows on the market I can say this is the best one out there in my opinion! It molds very easily to make room for your FFM. Sleep much better now and a big reduction in leaks on my FFM.... I'm using a Fisher Pakel Simplus. Thank you Brett for the experience... Won't part with this pillow!
