cpap pillow

Post by pbsd » Mon Dec 27, 2010 10:41 am

Hi all,

I am currently using a full face mask and I am looking for a good cpap pillow. Do any of you have a good recommendation of which one to purchase and where to purchase it from? Also, do you find that it really helps?

Thanks and I always appreciate your feedback!

I am extremely picky about my pillow, so I didn't buy a cpap pillow perse. I bought a Suprima by Tempur Pedic. I like it because it is soft enough to let the mask sink in a little, but firm enough that it doesn't cover the "blow hole" I also like the shape because you can move it around to hand the mask over. You can "test" them at Bed Bath & Beyond and they always have 20% off coupons. It isn't a cheap pillow, $79 for the standard, but with the coupon it isn't horrible.

I have the regenesis pillow from pur-sleep. I can shape the pillow to accept the mask when I'm on my side, and that helps keep a good seal when side sleeping. It's a bit noisy when you fluff it or mash it around, and it can feel hard as a concrete curb under your head if there are too many hulls in it:) but, what I love about it more than anything else is i don't get hot and sweaty because it doesn't hold in the heat. That's a big deal for me, living in a hot area of the country in the summers. Basically, i like it for those two reasons, it can be shaped to allow the mask and it doesn't hold in the heat.
