Re: Sleeping pillows (not nasal pillows)
i have to use to king size pillows on top of each other due to having large lats and a big head. pillows go flat.i found foam pillows to work best. memory foam ones just seem to firm. i like my head to sink in about 30% into the pillow and not be hard and flat under my head.. im not to concerned with the slots for the cpap tubing as i use nasal pillows and the tube hangs from the top of my bedpost with enough slack for me to roll around just fine. a good pillow to support my spine would help also due to bad back pain

Re: Sleeping pillows (not nasal pillows)
I sleep with a pillow under my thighs when I sleep to support my lower back - keeping it flat. I tried a lumbar pillow in bed and it actually did more harm than good. I tried the wedge that goes under the legs - but it was too high and I felt like my hips were dislocating by morning - so the pillow under my thighs work very well.JoshT wrote:i have to use to king size pillows on top of each other due to having large lats and a big head. pillows go flat.i found foam pillows to work best. memory foam ones just seem to firm. i like my head to sink in about 30% into the pillow and not be hard and flat under my head.. im not to concerned with the slots for the cpap tubing as i use nasal pillows and the tube hangs from the top of my bedpost with enough slack for me to roll around just fine. a good pillow to support my spine would help also due to bad back pain

If you go up to the Search line and put in "Mediflow" and then "Chiroflow", you will find many posts (quite a few of them by me) going back to 2005 and 2006.......by people who have liked them (they're basically the same pillow).
I was using a Chiroflow pillow for many years before I started this therapy and it has worked out great for me after I started using CPAP therapy.
