CPAP Sleep Aid Pillow ?

Post by nightingale » Thu Sep 06, 2007 5:56 pm

Have read one posting of someone purchasing this pillow and having good results, so for the past 2 days I attempted to purchase one too-- Contour Living is not a very customer-friendly company! Finally was able to place the order today--cost is $59.99, but with tax and shipping the grand total is $71.18--GULP! Surely hope it is worth that price.
I also purchased the PadACheek paddings, and they are GREAT!! No more forehead indentations or cheek marks! Now if I can just get a FF mask that does not leak--perhaps the pillow will prevent leaks.

There is a link on the webpage to sign up for a newsletter. If you do, you'll get 10% off your order. I found it after I placed my order, but called them and they refunded me 10%. Pretty good deal.

Also, force yourself to use ONLY that pillow. I was tempted to put another pillow under it, because I've always slept with 2 pillows. It felt weird at first, but I actually slept better with only that pillow. I guess getting your neck straight helps. YMMV though.

Keep us posted on the pillow. Want to know how it works out.

I recently went from two pillows to one. Major positive results. Two pillows was restricting my airway.

I picked up a Comfort Zone pillow at JC Penney about a month ago for about $30. The is a memory foam type pillow and works great with my mask. I take my pillow with me when I travel.

Contour Products Multi-Mask Sleep Aid Pillow

Post by SleepRestfully » Wed Sep 12, 2007 9:15 am

We have carried the Contour Product Pillow since it was introduced and have not had a single negitive comment about the product. We have even had several people who have come back to our site after receiving one and purchasing a second pillow. I myself sleep with a CPAP and before I started using the pillow I never got confortable. Stop by our site at http://www.sleeprestfully.com and look at the pillow. We have set up an entire page dedicated to the pillow. Just click on the picture of the pillow on our home page and it will take you there. I think you will be impressed.

after reading about this pillow on this message board, I bought one and tried it for the first time last night.
And it was great. I felt that it was too flat at first and put another pillow under it but then went back to just the cpap pillow. Previously, I was using a thermoelastic foam pillow and even with PadACheeks, I'd have red marks in the morning from the mask. But with this new pillow, I have no marks at all! The mask fits into a hollowed out space. Also, the neck support is great too. Basically, it is constructed so that your head is cradled perfectly. I think this is a great pillow! It is pretty pricey though.

Note that I got this pillow from:
http://www.contourliving.com/pc-71-2-cp ... p-aid.aspx
It costs $59.99 there. The website advertising the pillow earlier in this thread charges $10 more.

I e-mailed them over the weekend - after my account was charged - I was told that it was on back order on Monday - I got it today. Go figure!

yup, got mine today, just had to drive to the Fedex Facility to do it. They had put Direct Signature Required, I open up the box, the paper inside reads Leave at Apartment Office.

Everything was there, but the mask had been opened, and the tag was off of it.
Makes you wonder.Going to clean it before I use it.

Strike 4 guys. Sorry.

Pillow

Post by GumbyCT » Wed Sep 26, 2007 8:18 pm

I bought a contour memory foam pillow at Walmart for maybe $20-$30. Not identical but very similar. Also bought a latex foam pillow at Am@zon, very hard to find in a local store, same price range. Haven't had a latex pillow since I was a kid.

Tip: IF you sleep on your back; This maybe be worth trying BEFORE you buy -
Simply roll-up a towel; find a thickness to fit the curve of the back of your neck. Use rubber bands to keep it together (or don't). If you get the right spacing YOU may never use another pillow. When traveling, just carry your rubber bands.

I did this at my sleep study (2nd trip) when I was required to sleep on my back. Sleep tech was quite amused. Ironically, I had fewer apneas on my back. Tech & PA both said most people have more apneas on their back. My sleep study was at a Marriot with plush towels
Good Luck,
GumbyCT
ps. Looking for a pillow that will accomadate the hose, so I can sleep, face down, on my stomach again!

One of the DME's here in town carries this pillow for the same price as the website. No shipping fee.
