Best materials on sleep apnea Pillows
Posted by curesforsnoring on May 4th, 2010
THE BEST PRODUCT IN THE WORLD DOES’T DO YOU ANY GOOD IF IT SPRINGS A LEAK AFTER ONLY 2 MONTHS AND 8 DAYS. WORKED GREAT UP UNTIL THEM
For those who can't tolerate the CPAP machine has anyone had success with any other...?
...anti-snoring devices?Hi, I have a CPAP sleep apnea Pillows machine for a mile case of sleep apnea but it isn't very comfortable. I'm wondering if anyone would recommend any of the other devices available such as a mouthpiece, chin strap, special pillow, or any other device or method you may have tried? Thanks

I have been on CPAP machine for 10 months now and have struggled to use my cervical pillow with the full face mask. I used the edge of the pillow and woke up often because the mask was displaced. The first night I used this new pillow I slept all night without being awakened by the mask displacement!! And this pillow provides the support that my chiropractor recommends for my neck. It is worth the money!! Just a note, the chemical smell of the product goes away in less than a week; I temporarily covered it with a pillow case.
I was having very bad neck pain from a old auto accident. I have tried everything,this pillow works for me. I don’t have near the pain in my neck.
It doesn’t take it all away but I can sleep a little at night. Thanks water pillow
After a significant injury to my head and neck, the neurologist told me I needed this product if I wanted to wake-up without neck cramps. While I thought it a bit expensive for a pillow, I bought it. I was genuinely amazed when I woke-up without pain and cramps in my neck. It works best for me when I sleep on my back, so I just learned to sleep on my back because it is so wonderful to wake-up rested and pain-free. I got my first about 7-months ago and got another one as a back-up should the first one ever fail. It’s not a cure-all product, I had to change the way I sleep, but it is so worth it.
The product came on time and I love it. feels good under my head. I will have to buy another one my wife keeps sneaking it away from me. Thankyou
I have had neck pain and headaches every day for years due to disc compression, but it’s gone now that I’m using this pillow ! The foam support insert keeps my neck arched all night and has eliminated my disc issue. Granted it’s not the most comfy pillow to the touch, but the cozy ones just didn’t give me enough support. I am using the “soft” setting when I fill the pillow. My husband actually laughed at me when I bought this….he said “you might as well just put it in the stack of 50 other pillows you’ve tried and hated.” Boy was he wrong ! I would highly recommend this product.
very helpful for sleep apnea / acid reflux. comfortable pillow. pretty neat even using it for watching TV
Tried it for one night, the wedge feels too high and not comfortable at all to sleep on. I can’t return this item, I wish I knew that before I bought it.
First, this is just a foam wedge. No where does it state memory foam.
Second, this is the most uncomfortable ‘pillow’ we ever tried.
We tried it both sides and with and without additional pillows on top of it.
We even ordered another special pillow to use with the wedge. Nothing we did made this piece of foam anything more than what it was – extremely uncomfortable. It isn’t even comfortable to use as prop to read in bed or use a laptop.
We kept it in the plastic container in case we wanted to return it. We had less than 30 days to review the product from the time we received to the time we finally decided to give up and return it. We tried several times to make it work for us. We contacted Wheelchairs Plus Mobility Solutions Inc via Amazon for an RMA number, they were unwilling to accept the return since it was 1 day after the the 30 day window since we returned it. They made no allowances for when we received it, or that the 30 day window fell on a weekend.
My advice, if it doesn’t work for you within the first week, return it immediately. We tried in good faith to make it work for us. Now we are stuck with it.
Received bed wedge quickly. It is high quality, very comfortable, and provides just the right amount of elevation. Best price on the web.
The pillow is comfortable, though maybe too firm for some people’s taste, though I really like it. The cutouts for your cpap mask are only on the two lower corners, it doesn’t run all the way across. That makes it work for your head to be on a firm supportive surface but your mask will easily fit into the cutout if you sleep near one of the pillow edges. The pillow does fit into a normal sized pillow case. All in all, it’s a bit more comfortable than a normal pillow while you’re using your cpap, but it’s not a world changing difference.
If you have ever tried to use cheap “pillow speakers” or have angled stereo speakers at your head trying to get a headphone-less headphone experience then this pillow is probably an ideal thing for you. It really is like headphones, without headphones, there is enough separation for the binaural beat effect to occur.
I use the Sleepsonic pillow primarily with the Win/Mac application called Pzizz but I also use it with content from Hemi-Sync. For the person trying to maximize human potential while reducing stress or both of those while coping with sleep depravation then you would do well to give this pillow a try.
I personally find that a headphone amp adds a little extra fullness to the sound. It’s not required but it does help a bit.
My pillows are about six months old and are holding up wonderfully, it is the kind of quality that you can look at and say “Looks like I got the best one!”
I like it so much I bought two, at various times I have contacted the company for usage suggestions and I have never had such a great interaction from any company ever, they are wonderful people and they have a great product.
I love the idea of stereo speakers, as I use music or movies to go to sleep every night. This pillow would be ideal if it were made out of some softer materials. Unfortunately, it’s a little hard, and the soft cover, doesn’t really make up for the density of the pillow – and I’m not talking about where the speakers sit, but all over, including the middle.
Make it softer and I would be in love.
The sleepsonic pillow is absolutely fantastic. If your mate can only sleep in a quiet room and you love to fall asleep to music then this is your answer. The pillow is great and when put inside the pillow case on the bottom, the music will be heard just right. Some try to put the sleepsonic on the top of the pillow; THAT DOES NOT WORK AND IS ANNOYING. If you use an ipod to attach it to, you can also listen to a movie you have downloaded which sometimes is more relaxing for me to get to sleep. For those who may have ringing in their ears, this also will make a difference and is the reason I got it. This product is a bit pricey and if you don’t have that kind of money, there are other products at Amazon that will do the job for $20.00.
I bought this as a gift for my husband who has difficulty sleeping. He loves it and will even hook it to his laptop and watch movies using the pillow speakers!
I recommend this if you find the standard Contour CPAP pillow to be too thin, and if you don’t already have a hose cozy. You may find the price a little steep otherwise.
Being a side sleeper, this pillow not only provided comfort for the mask – but also handled the neck/shoulder stress that regular pillows cannot provide. Would recommend this pillow for almost anyone.
Terrific idea, but the pillow was far too thick. The amount of lift on my head and neck was uncomfortable, plus it interfered with the function of the mask by changing the angle too much – causing leaks. Overall ineffective for me.
