Has anyone used this pillow? Any opinions, experiences, etc?

[wrenn]

I have not. I really like my memory foam pillow. I just push it in where the mask goes and have not noticed any discomfort.

The only problem I would have with the one shown is that the indentations may not line up in the right spot for each size. I would worry that edges would be where you wouldn't want them etc.

I'm interested in seeing the feedback you get here.

I use The Oxygen Pillow made for sleep apnea. It looks like a regular pillow but on the inside it has a hole for your head ,and the sides have slits so the pillow pulls away from your face.It very subtly rolls your head out. It doesn't have that foam/plastic smell either. I use a Swift LT for Her with nasal pillows. Works great. I did consider purchasing this pillow.

ricochetv1, This is not the fact/experience-based opinion you asked for, as I have never used it. But I remember many more negative than positive reports on this particular pillow on this forum. You could do a search. Intuitively, it looks incredibly uncomfortable to me. And all the slots are so idiosyncratic that I can imagine it would be very difficult to simply have your mask fall into place without problems while sleeping. It looks to me like I would have to be awake and to really work at it to get my mask into exactly the right position for there to be no mask problems with this pillow. Yuk. I just think it looks ridiculously uncomfortable. You might try the Regenesis buckwheat pillow by PurSleep, or the PaPillow, or a cheap contoured memory foam pillow from Big Lots.

We ordered it sight unseen from our local medical supply store at the beginning of my husband's therapy. It was absolutely impossible to sleep on that thing, every notch was in the wrong place, small, and hard as a rock. We were grateful that we were able to return it for a refund the next day which is usually against policy. We've been OK with the SleePapPillow which we bought from cpap.com and we're now having some success with the Chiroflow pillow(you can do a search for it here). We've also used a memory foam which a lot of folks like. The hunt for the "perfect" pillow is just trial and error especially in hubby's case as he's a very restless sleeper although not so much lately. Good luck.

I've seen the Oxygen pillow online... I was hoping to avoid the $160 for it... At least we have a local distributor here and I can demo it before I buy it.

I know, it is super, crazy expensive. I only ( ) paid about $140-ish for it. I justified the cost because I have my head on it for 7-8 hours every night of my life so it should be something that was a good quality product. I also have neck and shoulder problems and this pillow seems to help. I had the chance to return it as well if I didn't like it. So that made me more willing to give it a go. It is very subtle....very. The more I use it the more I like it. I think it is a very personal thing, what works for one won't work for another. I got mine at http://www.apnealife.com
Good luck on finding the perfect sleep solution for you.

I brought these in to the brick and mortar I manage and they are.. okay. I tried it myself for a few nights, but it seemed to be complete overkill for nasal pillows. The pillow itself was rather stiff and not overly comfortable. After reading comments on here, I have been thinking about bringing in some buckwheat pillows, which can form to the shape of your mask..

I really like the Regenesis buckwheat pillow. I also have a Chiroflow, which is OK. The Renesis is my favorite.

[time2sleep]

Did you find that the buckwheat pillow was "noisy"? I used one once and every time I turned over the sound was awful, but I imagine they have impoved the pillow since it first came out.

[twokatmew]

I don't find the Regenesis pillow at all noisy. Regular buckwheat pillows can be quite noisy.

I use the Double Edge P{Pilow, really like it:

My biggest criticism of the pillow is that it is not thick enough. It works well with my face and how I sleep, but I wish it was a bit thicker. I put it on top of a regular pillow and it works like a charm.

Yeah... I think I'll just pass on that one... so far it sounds like I just need to spring for that Oxygen pillow.

I'm wondering why anyone would pay $150 for a pillow. Can someone give a detailed description/review of this pillow? I'm thinking it is a major rip-off since there are a number of great pillows out there which do a wonderful job of accommodating our masks, available for anywhere from $20 to $60 at most.
