Great pillow for side sleepers!

[orange-man]

I have read so many posts about side sleepers hanging off the edge of their pillows so the mask doesn't leak. Or people wearing nasal headgear for the same reason.

I want to share my solution that has been working very well for me for 2 years. It sounds crazy, but I use a Tempur-Pedic Body Pillow. It doesn't look like a pillow that you would put your head on, but it is so incredibly firm that your head doesn't sink into it. Therefore I can sleep on my side and never wake up with air leaks.

Your head will stay exactly where you started when you fell asleep. The Tempur-Pedic memory foam pillows get softer with body heat and they don't work well.

I'm sure you can get them at many places, but I got mine at Brookstone and they give you a 60 or 90 day trial so you have nothing to lose. Be forwarned that my wife calls it "the rock", but I can sleep on my side and the mask doesn't touch (or just barely touches) the pillow.

Thanks for that reminder. I used to have one (BC - before cpap) because I have a bad neck and it prevented me from sliding into uncomfortable positions during sleep yet was so comfortable. Hadn't thought to use one now, even though I have the mattress pad in Tempu-Pedic and love it. Will have to save the money because this is one of those times when the cheap knock-offs just don't give the same quality. I could tell the difference blindfolded. Thanks again.
