Improved Head Pillows for OSA/Headgear

Post by Physician » Tue Oct 26, 2010 12:03 pm

When I use a Swift II, one of five masks utilized, I wish there were a pillow with a cut-out so the tubing would fall into the recess or cut-away.

Which types of head pillows are available to:

1. reduce OSA, even if a CPAP is not used,

and/or

2. allow for better tube locations without displacing the nasal pillows or headgear.

Brookstone has a few models. Any weblinks to share ?

I use the Pur-Sleep Regenesis pillow, which is filled with buckwheat hulls. It allows me to squish it into any shape including divots for my mask (Swift FX, formerly Swift LT).
