Nice well thought out review. I wish I could compose that well but I have problems composing sometimes. I know people may wonder how I can say that given the novels I write here but those novels are sometimes a struggle. Composition has never been one of my strong points.

I had the slightly "older" "newer" version without the foam inserts....so Bret sent me a package of the foam inserts to add to my hulls. These make an already great product even greater. I used all of them along with all the hulls and I think I finally have it just slightly "too full" .

My neck needs firmness without pushing my head to the point that the Cervical spine gets bent. My neck has to stay straight without bending the head forward or else I get a massive headache from the neck muscles getting in a torque.
I have had C Spine surgery and have a metal plate in my neck. I would use this pillow even if I didn't have to use a cpap mask. This morning I woke up on my stomach with my face almost buried in the pillow. Just had my head turned a little to the side....boy it felt nice.

Now I know that this sort of pillow won't suit everyone...it's a fact of life that nothing out there will suit 100% of the population but if a person is having trouble finding a nice pillow/cpap mask comfortable combination......give this pillow at least a try.

Old pillow style that I received came with both the buckwheat hulls and form pieces. I have not seen the new style pillow. I believe, that the new style has a different shape and the zipper is on another side, but I am just guessing.

I got this impression also....different shape from rectangular but maybe I dreamed it. I haven't seen the very latest either.

Thanks for the kind words Pugsy! I whole heartedly agree that anyone who has neck problems should seriously consider trying one of these pillows! Even without neck problems or Cpap usage, these are some great pillows for the support and comfort they provide.
I'm hoping my new mask shows up today. I had just gotten so comfortable with the P10 mask, then my daughter brings her dog over and it gets a hold of the mask and chews holes in the outlet screen. I've had to switch back to the Swift FX and not sleeping very well with it. I told my daughter that I was thinking about having "hot dogs" for supper that night! ARGH!!!!

Do we go on Amazon to get this pillow? Should I buy the one that woodwurkerjunkie linked the review to?

Are the $20 pillows still available? If so, where would I get them? Sorry if I'm asking too late!
