Where can I buy a memory foam pillow? If it will help me when I'm using my comfort curve and get me some extra sleep, I definitely want to pick one up. Thanks for everyone sharing there experiences with the comfort curve...

I bought mine at the local Target store for $20.
Or you can find them at Bed Bath and Beyond for 3 times as much.
Many stores have them.

WalMart has them also for under twenty dollars.

Do you recommend the contoured memory foam pillow or the memory foam in normal pillow shape?

Thanks

After reading the prior posts, I'm almost reluctant to tell you how much I paid and what I bought. But I got the Tempur Pedic standard sized pillow at Brookstone's for $130. It is heavy! But it's great and I use nothing else now.

Here's the best part of all. I bought it on August 7th using my debit MasterCard. Till this day, they never debited from my checking account, just shy three months ago. So Brookstone's made a donation to my CPAP-related expenses. Not bad, right? I still keep a little extra in there in case they do finally catch up to it. Can't believe they won't. But so far it's been a gift.

You Lori got the better deal even if you end up paying, yours is a density of 5, the best and one simply cannot get one for $20.00. The foam wholesales for much more than that.

I have to say thanks to you, Earl, because you were the one I lstened to since you have all the experience and knowledge in this department. So thanks!

Youo are welcome and if anyone else wants one they better get it now as foam prices just went up at wholesale 78 percent! I just got back from an industry meeting about it. Matresses are going to jump through the roof price wise thyis week.

yes, thanks for the tip on price jumping. I did pick up something this week based on that.

Good point about the density. But personal preference comes into play also. I did NOT like the extra thickness and density of the more expensive ones, and I definitely did notice the $20 Target one was thinner and softer than the pricey ones.

What I like to do is use the contoured one on top of a thin "regular" pillow. Although at the moment I have further modified the memory foam pillow by slicing it shorter across the width and taking off the top lobe.

The resulting "block" allows me to route hoses over the over top without interference and flip flopping back and forth while easily hanging the interfaces over the edges of the block. The "platform" of a regular pillow allows the block to not be picky about its exact position and still give the elevation for my wide shoulders.

And its a lot easier to feel OK about hacking up a $20 pillow than a $200 pillow.

Along the same lines, Snork, when I went on vacation Monday-Wed. of this past week, I took my Tempur Pedic pillow with me so I could use my masks normally. If I tell you I was more worried about leaving that behind than anything else in my luggage, I'd be telling you the truth. That AND my machine travel bag that held the machine and my interfaces.
