Ok, I'm ready to purchase one of these CPAP designed pillows. Not sure about their confort levels.

I see on eBay 2 that are in my 'to be considered' list. I know there are some 10 or so other designs out there but these look like they might actually be of benfit to me as a side sleeper, can't get used to sleeping on my back all night.

I'm thinking of getting the first one. Anyone here have experience with either of these?

Thanks

I sleep mainly on my side and turn frequently to the other side.

I haven't used either of the pillows you mentioned, but can highly recommend two I like:

PAPillow (the double edge style.)

The "Shapeable" pillow from Target.
About $13 - $15

I second the shapeable pillow from Target.

Wasn't sure I would like it but gave it a couple of nites and it is comfortable.

I’ll second the PAPillow that rested gal recommended.

It is just the right thickness for side sleeping and has a square edge that lets you sleep “on the edge” with the mask hanging over the side. This way, it doesn’t interfere with the mask.

And like it very much. I have had it for about 2 weeks. I mainly sleep on my side and it works nicely

Thanks guys, gals for your comments. I'll get one of them early next week. Haven't settled on any particular one...shopping I go.

I use a pillow called the snow bean pillow which I purchased from Home Center for about $20.00. Instead of being one large foam it's small foam beads so when lying on it it's like laying on sand where there is pressure it is hollowed out. I can toss & turn without my nasal pillows being knocked off.

i also use the papillow rg mentioned...so far it's been great for the most part, even though it only came with one pillow case, and additional ones are around $15 ; i just stuff it into a regular pillow case and fold back the extra material

that foam one, the "sleep aid pillow' with the cut outs on the side? i've read quite a few negative posts about it, mainly that it's too thin and not worth the money

the other one you mention, the sleePAP pillow, looks interesting, a lot like the PAPillow, but bigger i think

good luck with choosing!

Target shapeable pillows are AMAZING!!!! They are so comfortable for anyone, PAP'r or not. My ex was in love with them. They truly are shapeable and are so very, very soft! I also like the fact that it's a "regular" pillow and doesn't look funky.

I have the first pillow and it is in the closet rarely used. I find that it is too thin and not very comfortable. I do use it on occasion when I use my comfort curve, but must use it on top of another pillow when I do to have proper neck support.

Most of the time I use a very soft, down alternative pillow that I purchased at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I smoosh it up until it is in the correct position and my mask hangs over the edge. This works best for me.

I just bought a $12 knock off of the Tempurpedic contour pillow from Big Lots.

WORKS GREAT! Highly recommend!
