Pillows

Post by blondie » Fri Jul 01, 2011 9:31 am

Anyone think the contoured pillows are worth the money? I sleep on my side and was wondering if they were worth it or not.

For me, the contour pillow works better on my back. On my side I still do better with a small travel pillow. But I still haven't settled down to one pillow yet.

If you are talking about the traditional foam contour pillow...they are available at Kohls and Walmart for under $25. Many of us use them. I am a 90% side sleeper with FF mask.

Need to add that... For me it doesn't have anything to do with the form/curves. It's the square edges that allow you to sleep on the edge of it without pushing against your mask. The curves can kind of get in the way since we aren't one-size-fits-all.

I just bought the CPAPMax pillow from Contour. I absolutely love it! It is very comfortable and fits all of my masks.
