I used the CPAP-Fit pillow from Amazon. It doesn't seem to be on Amazon any more. I'm not sure what happened to it. It's great, though.

A lot of folks use a buckwheat (filled) pillow. I used it for a year, but it was too hard for me. I am on my second memory-foam pillow called the Contour pillow. Our host sells them. The pillow has cut outs to prevent mask obstruction when sleeping on your side. It also has a ledge for your neck. Pillows are sorta like masks. I may like a fluffy one while you may like a hard one. It's a personal thang.

I actually already sleep on a buckwheat pillow - didn't buy it specifically for CPAP use though, guess I'm good then

Count me in... sounds like you already have a buckwheat pillow. For others: To accommodate your mask, you can mold a sizable hollow in the hulls by just poking the pillow with your fist. It will stay there until you shake the pillow out or make another hollow.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

Chiroflow water-based pillow here. Was using it long before I started this therapy and it has worked well for me since.
It's also sold under the name Mediflow.

Oops, guess I should have done a search. Good suggestions here.
