(More customer reviews)This pillow is an improvement over regular pillows for CPAP users --the cutouts allow the mask & hose to remain comfortably positioned making for a better nights sleep for side sleepers like me. Be aware the pillow is quite firm which I like but doesn't necessarily appeal to everyone. This is my first non standard pillow so I can't compare to others but versus a standard bed pillow it's worth the price. I also bought the accessory kit which adds a foam insert,a pillow cover and a cover for the air hose--I'm glad I did the extra cushioning is a nice plus although at the price of the pillow I feel the pillow cover should have been included. As for the hose cover, in theory it helps prevent condensation from accumulating in the air hose -I have only had that problem once before I received the cover and not since so I cannot attest to it's effectiveness. If you have problems with condensation turn down your humidty settings remove the hose from the CPAP and hang to dry out during the day --simple but effective.

Product Description:
The CPAP Multi-Mask Sleep Aid Pillow is designed to provide support and comfort while reducing mask pressure, leaks and discomfort. It improves comfort and CPAP use with all styles and brands of masks.Product DescriptionCPAP Multi Mask Sleep Pillow Finally, a CPAP Pillow Mask sleep aid that addresses comfort and compliance issues for CPAP users The American Sleep Apnea Association identifies CPAP therapy as the most common treatment for sleep apnea. CPAP therapy works by preventing the airway from closing during sleep. It is administered at bedtime through a nasal or facial mask held in place by velcro straps around the patient s head. The CPAP Mask is connected by a tube to a small air compressor. The CPAP machine sends air under pressure through the tube and into the mask, where it imparts positive pressure to the upper airways, preventing the tissues in the back of the throat from collapsing during sleep. The CPAP Pillow Mask is an extremely effective form of treatment when used in compliance with doctors orders. However, non-compliance is a big issue. It has been estimated that over 65% of patients use the machine for a maximum of just 4 hours per night when it should be used for the duration of the patient s sleep. Additionally, many patients report using the CPAP for just a few nights out of the week. Discomfort is a major factor contributing to non-compliance. During side sleeping or stomach sleeping, the CPAP mask presses and rubs against the patient s face, which leads to discomfort and can also distort the mask, causing leaks and exacerbating the problem of non-compliance. The CPAP Multi Mask Pillow Improves: Mask comfort Freedom of movement during sleep Multi-position sleeping for side, back and stomach sleepers Neck support and spinal alignment The CPAP Multi Mask Pillow Reduces: Mask leaks Mask pressure on face Airway resistance due to better neck support. Note: Pillows are not returnable once removed from sealed packaging.
