Pillow Suggestions Please.

[Flappers]

Hi I've been recently diagnosed with chronic sleep apnia. I have been having 37 episodes an hr. I'm 48yrs old, 6-3' and 23 stone. I sleep on my side and this often gives me dead arms. I am finding it hard to have masks stay comfy on me, I have the Philips consumer developed mask now, I like it but it shifts as I get right before I nod off and the air wakes me. So.. my question is, can anyone recommend a jumbo / large pillow poss memory foam that I can try please ?. Right now I'm using duck down and a regular foam pillow I tend to tuck under me on top. Any help is very much appreciated. Oh and hi all 🙂

Regards Sam

Hi Flappers,

Thank you for your post. Have you looked at the Ultra CPAP pillows that we have available on our website - https://www.cpap.co.uk/ultra-cpap-pillow.html

The pillow is available in 2 sizes - Royal or King size. The pillow have a special cut-out to accommodate the mask to help avoid pressure marks, leakage and general discomfort associated with the mask digging into the ordinary pillows.

Please have a look at the product page, and customer reviews and let me know if you have any questions.

Kind Regards

Kelly

If that does not work, I use a cushion I got from Ikea, it is just 6 to 8 inches across but it can be used horizontal or vertical on top of a pillow and this creates a small lift off the main pillow so the mask stays put. Until you move around a lot. But I found this my best option, sleep with the mask over the edge of the pillow and I have no problems. It also can go straight into the washing machine and was as normal, quick to dry as well.

For all the price it is worth a try if there is an Ikea near you.
