Sleeping Pillow

[davecpap]

I was reading this thread with great interest and decided to research for some pricing.
Blew me away when all the links returned with a price of $189. Bit out of my leage at the moment.

What pillow could possibly cost AU$189 ??

One site had a link to make your own. Use 4" thick foam rubber, 16" x 24", use a marking pencil and cut some foam away. Have not checked the price on the foam as yet, but definitely worth a shot.

I tried every cpap pillow out there.
I finally made my own.
It's a memory foam pillow that I find on sale, $20.
Make the cutouts w/a sheet rock utility knife.

I copied Carbonman's idea and it works well. As I already had an old foam pillow and knife it cost me nothing but a little time. Thanks Carbomman! And thanks too for all your special photos that you share with us.

$189??? Even in AUD doesn't make sense. On their website the largest Regenesis pillow is USD$49.99. It does say they don't ship internationally, but when I send a 7lb package to my son in Australia, it's only ever $20-$30.

Dori,

The extra large is NOT too heavy when I make the bed. In fact, I use just one hand at night to adjust the buckwheat hulls, lifting the pillow to adjust before I go to sleep. I found the extra large to be about the same size as my standard pillow. It DOES take a little getting used to at first - it is firmer than some people like, but within a week I found that I loved it and now I won't use anything else!

Best regards,

Jersey Girl

I carved a butterfly shape out of regular salvage sofa cushion foam.
Too thick for this new mattress.
I have 2" memory foam that I hope to layer for the 3-d pillow--extra wide so I can claim my side of the bed.

Ah yes, I remember fondly the first time I sliced/diced a $20 foam pillow from Walmart with Carbonman's encouragement. I used an electric carving knife and it wasn't really too hard to do. We used it for a long time until I became a "snob" and ordered a "special" cpap pillow.

Jon, I'm another who is not sure how you turned up such a high price. For example, my favorite PaPillow is about $65 at cpap.com here in the US, and even with shipping from US could not come to $189.

You probably need to try different search entries.
You might also need to shop at a WalMart or similar for an inexpensive memory foam contoured pillow. In the US they run anywhere from $12-25 for an inexpensive version, and accommodate a FFM or any other mask very well when you sleep on your side (as is recommended) on the edge of the pillow.
