Just bought one and have make use of this for 3 nights. So far no big difference in leaks... Sleep well with this pillow but cannot find anything in my charts to backup its claim

I have the double edged CPAP pillow and love it. I use a nasal mask and can now sleep on my side without the mask shifting. Turning from side to side causes no issues. Before that I used a little decorative pillow from my couch that was about 6 inches by 6 inches that allowed the mask to hang off the edge but it wasn't very comfortable when I shifted from side to side. - Kim

Hi--I don't use a CPAP pillow. I bought a down filled pillow from Costco--works like a dream!! You can fluff it and punch it down around your neck and mask--it is great for Cpappers. CHeaper too---you can get a 2 pack of them - for 39 bucks!

I feel a lot better since I dumped my old pillow and got one filled with buckwheat hulls. The reported AHI on my CPAP machine changed a fair bit, check out these numbers:
