C shaped pillow for side sleepers

Post by Organplayer » Wed Jan 09, 2008 7:07 am

I asked for and got a C shaped pillow for Christmas (thanks Santa). As I am a side sleeper and having back trouble, this crazy pillow was the answer to my dreams. I love the back support and the ff mask I use falls right into the low profile of the pillow.

Now, I just have to figure out how to wash it eventually or get pillowcases.

Are these made in Santa's workshop, or does he buy them from a store, and if so....where did he get it?

Which way do you use it? Is the C facing in or out?

Facing in. One curl of the C I rest my face in. The long part runs down my back.
The lower part of the C I either put between my legs or rest my feet on. I am short (5'7) and it runs the length of me. I am a side sleeper.

My blessed spouse reports that am very still now and I don't even get up to go to the bathroom. This pillow provides great support.

My family says it another one of my cpap crazy accessories. But hey, when you sleep good, it does not matter.

SLEEP MATTERS, the rest is just gravy.

Is it possible to turn over without a lot of rearranging?

It looks like it would be impossible to turn from side to side.

Read the description if on line, look at the pictures, and compare features. Many of the smaller "c"s are for babys -- when they are learning to set up, etc. They are smaller in size.

The larger "C" is made for pregnant women and are bigger naturally.

Put them side by side and it is easy to see which is larger.

The statement was regarding the pillowcase

The cases are on the right hand side of the page for $19.99 each.

Do you have a link? Or what the exact name of it is? I couldn't find one that I thought of as a Capital C.
