Some people say they work and some don't, I have my pillows a novel way and it basically does the same job, I have the bottom pillow vertical (across) as normal and the top pillow horizontal (up and down the bed), this way there is less real estate to knock your mask on. My other suggestion is to have the hose coming from above your head over a bed head if possible.

I use a regular pillow. I just learned to rest my head on it differently so that my full face mask doesn't get pushed around, and I sleep very comfortably every night.

originally sold as antisnoring pillows, they never helped much, most of us need a CPAP

I bought one, makes a good lumbar support for my favorite recliner ...didn't work so well as a pillow for sleeping...Wall-mart has some nice soft pillows...I think a good pillow for CPAP is one that you can fold, move and it stays where you put it.

Well, everyone is different and regular pillows did not work for me. I initially purchased the double edge pappillow and it worked for the FFM but when I stopped using FFM it didn't work as well for nasal/nasal pillows mask, I use a mini double edge pappillow for traveling and simply love it.

I eventually decided to try one of the brands of contour pillows and simply love it. It was worth the money for me.

Hi . I have had s.a. for about 4 years and use the c-pap machine my insurance paid for. I use a comfort lite 2 nasal mask. I have tried a few different masks/pillows but have returned to this one. I would like a new machine. Mine is noisy and the air temp is sometimes cold and I find the tubing cumbersome. The Insurance will only update me wit a similar machine for $500.00 co pay. I am thinking of purchasing a machine that is better on my own. I was thinking of a resmed machine that is suppose to be quiet, have a thinner lighter tubing, temperature climate control, and can monitor things like mask leakage sleep patterns etc. Has anyone purchased any machines on their own or have the more deluxe machines?? feedback would be appreciated.

nowaycharlie, welcome, there are probably a few questions to ask, do you use straight CPAP or have you been using an auto CPAP. If your comfortable with straight CPAP the Resmed S9 Escape or S9 Elite would be best for you, If your using an auto or want the comfort of an auto the best machine on the market is the Resmed S9 Autoset.
The Escape is not data capable but the other two are, that means if you want to see your daily data using free software don't go with the escape. The auto's are about double the price of straight CPAP. You should get a humidifier and heated hose. I think that will get rid of the problems you are currently having.
Please ask anymore questions.

First, yes, I bought the contoured pillow and really like it. I've had lumbar surgery and this pillow helps me stay in the least painful sleep position.
