Papillow Too Large; What do I do?
Papillow Too Large; What do I do?
I got a papillow from cpap.com and it's way too big. I should have tested it out without opening the packaging but now I can't return it. Is there a place I can sell cpap equipment at?

Someone here may "bite".
I also find that pillow too large.
Hubby won one, but neither one of us likes it.

Simple solution... just open up one of the back seams carefully about 2 inches.. then reach in with fingers and take out as much of the stuffing as you need. When you have it down to where you like it, just stitch the seam back up again.

My mistake, we have the foam contour pillow; and the darn thing is too thick for me--too hard for him.

Papillow works well for me, but then I'm a side sleeper (also taller than some). Gives me the support that I'm looking for when I'm sleeping on my side.

one added suggestion.... save the stuffing that you remove.
2 months from now, you may be complaining about it settling and being too small

Re: Papillow Too Large; What do I do?
The stuffing idea is a good one. I haven't had any interest so I might have to go that route to make it fit. I kind of made my own by putting an elastic strap horizontally around my regular pillow and that seems to help with the mask slipping or being pushed up when I'm sleeping on my side. So I'll still give someone a good deal if they are interested in a papillow.

Re: Papillow Too Large; What do I do?
I have gone through SO many pillows! Ugh! It's all trial and error but can get expensive!
Right now I am happy with My Pilllow in the medium. That's the name of it and you can get it at QVC, Amazon or Mypilllow.com. It is washable and dry able which I love. Take a look at it. Even though we have a king size bed I bought the full/queen size for the hubs and myself? They are really wonderful pillows.
