is this a good pillow?

In with my order for a new mask, there was an add for a mask that has sections for your mask, ears, forehead, chin, etc. It costs 60.00
It seems to have sections cut out for side sleeper as well as stomach sleepers.
Is this something new?

There are many speciality pillows out there and it is very individual. What one likes may be the next person's nightmare. I like a buckwheat pillow, so opinions are going to vary widely.

I also have a buckwheat pillow and I LOVE it! There are pro's and con's for all of the different CPAP pillows, so I guess the thing to try to do is determine what pro's you like and what con's you can live with. If you want more info on the buckwheat pillows, look up on PUR-SLEEP.com.

Carol's so right.

This one is my personal favorite of the pillows touted as "cpap pillows:"
Double Edge PAPillow

I tried another one and didn't like it at all...but that's just me:
SleePAP CPAP Pillow

ResMed S9 VPAP Auto (ASV)
Humidifier: Integrated + Climate Control hose
Mask: Aeiomed Headrest (deconstructed, with homemade straps
