Yep, this one:

I've tried several other pillows, and this one works the best for me.

I use the Contour cpap pillow. I like the cut-outs and though memory foam took a while to get used to, it works for me. It is also a rather "flat" pillow (not fluffy)... so you need to be aware of this feature.

I use this one http://www.hsn.com/products/tony-little ... r/10065646
It sort of has a bean bag type filling, tiny tiny beads, so when you shape the way you want it, it stays that way. I hollow out a place for the hose, and then I can sleep on my side without a conflict. I suggest getting the Jumbo size, it is not really that big. You also have 30 days to return it, if it doesn't work for you.

I use the My Pillow in the medium. Google My Pillow to see it- I love it! It's washable and comes in different sizes and firmness. Hope this helps,

I tried using several different pillows... at least four that I can remember. I am now using my old, mushy and delicious latex pillow and find it so much more comfortable. The other pillows seemed to push the straps into my face and I would wake up with strange marks. The latex pillow works so much better for me.

I was using the "Chiroflow" (water-based) pillow long before I started on this therapy 8 1/2 years ago and it worked great with this therapy. It's also sold under the name "Mediflow". Look them up.

I bought the Pappillow. Turned out to be useless to me. Did not help me position my head any better than a regular pillow.
