Bought it and tried it. Didn't do anything for me. The pillow was too thin. The cat likes it, though

I have been very disappointed in that pillow. It doesn't line up right, When I roll on my side, my head is not straight, like the models in the pictures. It always knocks my mask askew and I have to reposition my body to make it work. The neck roll is too high and hard when I'm flat on my back. I always end up throwing it off the bed after an hour and going back to my regular pillow, It was an expensive mistake.

If anybody should want to buy it, the price with shipping is $3 cheaper from Amazon.com.

Sell the pillow you hate to someone who wants to try it.

Not ME, but someone here does, you know that.

Cheers,

There were quite a few pillows on that page. Everyone is prob talking about a different one, ha.

I've already surgically altered my pillow by cutting off the lumps that were shoving my mask into my face. This is not a memory foam pillow and it is not soft enough for me.

Does anyone want a "decapitated " pillow?

Thx all for the feedback. Sounds like 0 for 3 with this pillow.

I am going to give the SleePAP pillow from cpap.com a try instead.

That is what I would do, if I were you. That looks like a nice soft pillow.

if you're interested in a 'soft' pillow, the PAPillow is also nice; it's the one i use and the pillow case was included in the price; and not that i want to take any business away from cpap.com, but i was able to purchase mine from my dme, so i knew what it looked and felt like before i paid for it...maybe your dme carries them, too?

I have that pillow and do use it. It's definitely not perfect and I haven't stopped looking but it works better for me an a "regular" pillow. Yes, it is thin, but it does support my head and have mask over the side.

I can't stand memory foam pillows (they hurt my neck).

When they show people sleeping on their sides, they have their arms underneath them and not under the pillow. Do people actually do that?

Hi FN,

What? No "f" word???

I don't sleep with my arms under the pillow

I'll second that thought -- the PAPillow.

My wife recently got one and she really likes it. I may buy one soon, too.

It is plenty thick enough for side sleeping and has square (not tapered) edges, so you can lay your head "on the edge" to let the mask hang over and not get pushed around.
