No, I've not tried it. But if you're planning on using it with CPAP, doesn't look like it would work, in my opinion. Looks like the mask would get shifted.

I'm just basing that on pillows that I have tried.

I agree, don't see how that shape would work if you turned/slept on your side. I purchased the SleePAP CPAP Pillow awhile back--LOVE IT!

I've read where several people have purchased specialty pillows and they've worked well for them. The best pillow choice would depend on which mask style and sleeping position. I've used the memory foam as well as basic feather pillows, and have found as a side sleeper using a Headrest mask, just about anything off-the-rack works fine. I have a feeling though when I get a full face backup mask I may be singing a different tune. What works great for one may not for another.

Did you get a load of the "you might also like" product on the page?

A "sleep inducer" that uses "natural biofeedback" sending a "double-frequency micro-massage to the 'sleeping golden triangle' acupressure meridians".

It's been a while since I've seen such a concentration of hooey.

I also notice the link URL ends with "weborigin=upsell". They're not even subtle about it.

Some of their other product categories are pretty funny - an herbal lumbar support, a spray that cures snoring (should be popular in this forum), and a "men's sexual health" section that looks quite a lot like my email spam-bin just to name a few.

I use this pillow and love it!

It supports my head and neck, and yet allows my mask to kind of hang off the side so no matter what mask I use...quattro or liberty...they don't get knocked around.

I sleep with on top of a regular soft squishy pillow, and find it to be the ultimate in comfort.

No, not really, I've been looking for a nice pillow I can use comfortably, since I'm a side sleeper a regular one just does not do it.
A friend showed me the pillow in the catalog and it looked interesting, I did not see anyl the other stuff you mention here.
But Hey, let me go back and laugh a little at the other stuff you saw

Hello Cindi,
Are you a side sleeper also? does this pillow give you some support on the head or is it only for the neck?
Do you use it with another pillow?

Thank you.

If you are trying to train yourself to sidesleep, this may be worth a trial. My concern is that the sleeper could not get his face close enough to the edge so that the mask and nose hang over the edge.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related
