Homemade pillows?

[cosmo]

Has anyone made any homemade CPAP pillows/pillow case?

Did you modify an existing pillow or created one from scratch? I'm going to draft something for my mother to whip up.

Yes. I took an old wedge shaped foam pillow and customized it. I took an electric knife and shaped it to the desired shape. My goal was to be able to sleep on my side. I kinda cut the corners off on two sides and shaved it down so it would be comfortable for me. I already had the pillow and I took an old pillow case and my trusty sew machine and made it to fit. It works fine for me.

Yes...there are many different types of pillows the folks here have made. I used a solid foam pillow and cut out a half circle on each end for my mask to hang over, there is also a pillow someone designed called the papillow they made to go on top of your regular pillow that allowed your mask to hang over. If you would do a search on here with the words pillow or papillow you will find pictures...the thread was about 2 or 3 years ago. Now I have found that I can sleep just fine with my regular firm pillow and my mask doesn't move.
Good luck

Yes Some one on the forum designed a pillow pal I made one and it sure works out great. A pillow case would be easy enough to make for it or like one of the above posters said, modify a ready made pillow case to fit it. You can find pillow cases in thrift stores to modify with and such so you won't have to ruin a good one. Try a search on pillow pal on this forum. Huggies, Fay
