Hi
I've searched and have not found this topic.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a pillow for use with the Resmed Mirage Quattro?

I have used the Regenisis Buckwheat Hull pillow from pur-sleep.com for the past 3 years. I originally ordered the regular size that is a little small. I just decided to order the large size and keep the smaller one as a spare. It is a firm pillow that can be shaped for comfort.

Re: Pillow for Mirage Quattro?
Pillows are pretty non-specific so any cpap pillow will do.
I have one of the foam cpap cutaway pillows and it works ok...better for people who don't move too much.
I used to use a buckwheat pillow like LSAT mentioned and I actually think that type is preferred...more flexibility.

I have to sleep by the very edge of the pillow to avoid having air blow out onto the pillow itself and the noise prevents me from falling asleep. And sleeping by the very edge of the pillow places stress on my neck to keep my head from falling off the pillow. Since I've had my CPAP, I've had neck to shoulder blade excruciating pain.
Will a huck pillow address these issues?

Re: Pillow for Mirage Quattro?
The 'hull' pillow is much firmer that any regular pillow so you do not need to sleep on the edge. You don't sink in like with a regular pillow. It can be shaped to fit you. Did you watch the video on the pur-sleep site?Xfimpg wrote:I have to sleep by the very edge of the pillow to avoid having air blow out onto the pillow itself and the noise prevents me from falling asleep.

I used to take a regular pillow and fold and punch it until I could sleep on it w/a Quattro. Then I bought one of the pillows with the cut-out corners. End of problems. It works well with the Swift FX, too.
