Product Description
CPAP 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

As a user of a CPAP machine, I have spent my evenings trying to adjust and configure pillows so that I can wear the face mask with some semblance of comfort, with little success. I took a chance on this sleep pillow and I have to say it works great! Not only does it nicely accomodate the shape shape of the mask, the neck support is a real added value. I did not have any of the problems noted in the other review.

I use the full face mask shown in the picture in the Amazon ad.
Unfortunately, due to the design of this pillow, the upper mask clip is wedged between the pillow and the side of the head in use. There is a lot of discomfort and because of the side pressure on the mask, a lot of leaks. I tried it for two nights and gave up because I couldn't sleep more than a half hour at a time without having to shift position to ease the discomfort or stop a leak.
According to the company's return policy, hygiene law prohibit them accepting returns or giving refunds on pillows.
This product is unusable and I'm out $50.
