CPAP Pillows

Post by montanasleeptech » Mon Dec 14, 2009 8:53 pm

Has anyone used a pillow designed for use with a CPAP mask? We bought one to use in our sleep lab, but have not had much feed back on it yet. Just wondering if they are worth the money? thanks

I've used one called the PAPillow for years. Love it.

It's this one:

Pap Pillow is without a doubt the best one and I have tried many. I sleep on my left side and back almost entirely with it. CPAP.COM stocks them and will price match. Get an extra cover so that you will have a second cover to use.

I have both, and love the double edge PAPillow too.

I got the small one for travel, for hotel rooms. It's a like a curved slice of the double edge PAPillow, so I need to flip it over when I change sides. It's only 3 inches high, compared to 4 inches for the double edge, so I put it on top of the hotel pillow. I think it's fine for travel, but not for regular use.

Thanks for the info Katie. I guess I'll just get a bigger suitcase and stuff the double edge papillow in it when I travel.

I use the Regenesis pillow. Found one on Overstock.com for a good price and free shipping.
It's a great pillow- I took out a lot of the hulls- and find it very comfortable.

Not worth it to me. Buy some good memory foam pillows, and tell patients to sleep on the edge of the pillow, with the mask hanging off the edge. I was allowed to bring my own pillow to the sleep study, and did that pretty automatically. It was a quick trick to learn to push the pillow back away from the mask.

Cheers,
B.
