Contour CPAPMax Cooling Gel Pillow - Adjustable Memory Foam Support Pillow for Side, Back & Stomach Sleepers - for CPAP Users - Helps Reduce Air Leaks, Dryness & Mask Discomfort - Ergonomic Design

I have myriad issues that interfere with sleep: cervical/neck problems that require a lot of neck support; jaw clenching/biting issues that require me to wear a dental appliance and to have the right counter-pressure on my jaw from a pillow; sinus problems that make it difficult to breathe unless I'm lying in the right position; Sensory Processing Disorder that causes me to be very sensitive to the softness/firmness of a pillow, to the pressure on my ears, and to the exact way my hair is pressed into my skin by the pillow; Restless Leg Syndrome that causes me to thrash and change positions frequently during the night; and Sleep Apnea, just to cap it all off. After trying dozens of pillows over the years, I had finally found one that mostly worked for me, so I was very frustrated to find that it didn't work with the CPAP masks that I finally gave up and tried for the Sleep Apnea. Thus, I began once again searching for a pillow I could tolerate. That was a tall order, and I can't say I honestly expected to have much luck. Still, I read about dozens of CPAP pillows and finally chose this one over the others, for two reasons: 1) Some of the reviews mentioned it provided good neck support, and 2) its height is adjustable, which I've found to be a key feature with other pillows. I crossed my fingers, ordered it, was annoyed when it came a day late and off-gassed more strongly than I would have preferred, and then found it to be FAR better than I expected. This pillow is actually more comfortable than my previous one, which as I said was the culmination of a multi-year search of dozens of options. With this pillow, I'm able to sleep on either side and/or my back as needed throughout the night. It supports my neck perfectly in all of my favorite positions, providing exactly the right amount of counter-pressure where I need it, without putting too much pressure on the overly-sensitive areas. It hits my jaw just right, reducing issues from that. I use the soft side up, which makes it soft enough not to irritate my ears. And with it, I barely notice the CPAP straps, despite the Sensory Processing Disorder. I actually wake up feeling (dare I say it) rested, and without a headache, and without my neck hurting, and without my jaw clenched and miserable. This is by far my new favorite pillow, and my only remaining question is how many should I buy to make sure I have a spare in case the company stops making them or something? Seriously, if you have cervical/neck issues, and/or Sensory Processing Disorder, and/or jaw problems, and/or shoulder problems, and/or chronic headaches, and/or whatever else, I strongly recommend this pillow. May it work as well for you as it does for me! Edit: Nearly five years later, I'm still using this pillow, and it still works well for me. Recently, I've been trying to reduce my plastic usage, and I was frustrated to realize that all of my bedding contains polyester -- except for this pillowcase. That is 100% cotton. I was pleased to see that and thought I'd add it here.

It's a good pillow. I bought this pillow because my CPAP mask was contorting my head and stressing the implants and surrounding vertebra from my two spinal fusion surgeries causing spasms from C1 to T5. The pillow combined with a pole helped. I sleep on my side with a memory foam cervical pillow. This pillow has two advantages. The biggest plus with this pillow is the thickness is adjustable. Because of my surgeries I need a pillow that compresses to 1.5 to 2 inches. This pillow does just that. I was able to remove some of the inserts in this pillow since it has multiple ones of differing depths and compression levels to reach the desired thickness and compression. It also has wings to allow my head a positive area to lay but allow my mask to hang off the side of the pillow without pressing deeper into that side of my face. This removed most of the mask air leakage that was keeping me awake at night. The pillow is a little bit too firm for my tastes but then I have been sleeping on the memory foam side of the pillow. I'll try sleeping on the softer fiber fill tonight and edit this review tomorrow adding those results.

For me, it is too small in width. Concept is great. The quality of manufacture and materials seems ok. Price a bit too high for this one. Still trying it out but probably will need a different make.

Pillow is working extremely well for me. I sleep on my stomach, and use an ResMed AirFit P30i. This CPAP headgear has a supply tube that comes out of the crown of your head, and nasal pillows in the front. I tried several other CPAP pillows. They all had a standard thickness, and scoops of the pillow material taken (not all the way through the pillow) from each side. Thin of them as big dent on each end of the pillow. The front of my head gear that went around my nose would still get pressed to the side when placing my face over the depressions in the pillow. They did not work for me. This pillow has cut outs that go all the way through the entire pillow to accommodate head gear. It also has several layers of foam that can be added and removed to customize the thickness to accommodate a variety of sleeping positions. Because I’m a stomach sleeper,I took all of the layers out, except for the white layer, which has a soft side and an alternate cool side. Now, the part of my headgear that goes under my nose does not get hung up and it has been much easier to get a good nights sleep. I can’t recommend it strongly enough! Also, this pillow is a bit smaller than a standard pillow. So it swims around if you put it in a standard pillowcase. The manufacturer has custom pillowcases that contour to the CPAP pillow. I bought one of those, and it fits very nicely. I would recommend getting one of their custom pillowcases as well.

This is too thick for back sleeping but probably OK for Side sleepers. I tried on thinnest layer and even dude sleeping was not comfortable for ne. It is quite firm. I quit using it after 30 days. Hubby is trying it but not loving it.

My husband uses a full face cpap mask & is a side sleeper. He was initially using a memory foam wedge pillow on top of a regular pillow when starting mask use, as physician suggested. This worked about 18mos. He then started having problems w/mask fit & all that goes along w/it, sleeping position, & neck discomfort. We reviewed many cpap pillows & settled on this product. I had my doubts. AMAZING! He’s only been using this pillow 2 weeks, but no more mask fit issues. He sleeps comfortably all night, can change sleep position w/o problem, no longer has stiff, sore neck & his cpap scores have improved! This pillow is more firm than the memory foam & gives much better neck support. He doesn’t seem to think his mask is in the side cut-outs but somehow his mask stays in place all night w/this pillow. He also realizes he doesn’t require the elevation that he had using the wedge, this thickness seems to be just right for comfort & support. He doesn’t use the soft strap to secure the tubing so can’t speak to that. And haven’t had it long enough to need washing. We’re both sleeping through the night now. Very pleased with this pillow…money well spent! A good nights rest is priceless…at any age.

Two Warnings: 1. Terrible, headache-inducing smell. 2. Not appropriate for top-of-head hoses. 1. BEWARE. The pillow is advertised as "Odor-free". That's a very bad joke. To me, the pillow reeks with a toxic-smelling, possibly dangerous, odor. Inside the plastic case in which the pillow is packaged is a flyer titled, "3 STEPS TO CPAP COMFORT". The flyer states, "Like a new car, the pillow will have a product smell". Sorry, but the smell is not that of a new car (which itself is hazardous). It is much more malodorous. Furthermore, I would never think of sticking my nose into the vinyl material inside a new car and breathe those fumes directly all night long. I think that the CPAP Pillow literally stinks, and that is a deal-breaker. I returned it immediately to get it out of my house. 2. Because of the smell, I did use this pillow even once. None-the-less, I had hoped that it would be designed such that it would work with the type of masks that have a hose inlet at the top of the head band and air tubes going down the side of the face to the mouthpiece. (for example the ResMED AirFit P30i). I would like to keep both air tubes open when I sleep on my side. But the CPAP Pillow does not have a carve-out in the foam for the airtube. If I were to rest my head on the CPAP Pillow, I suspect that the CPAP Pillow would block off the air tube on that side. Additionally, the location of the crescent cutouts at the sides are not useful at all for this type of mask. The ideal shape of a pillow for the AirFit P30i, would be a crescent so that it could support the top of the head and the jaw while it curves around the air tube at the temple.

I was surprised at how it seems to help my neck pain better than the pillow I have that was advertised tp reduce neck pain. It is very comfortable and I've been sleeping better with it.

When I roll from one side to the other, I have to move the pillow. It's just not long enough. Otherwise, it is a confortable pillow. I removed one layer.

You can't sleep well while using the mask, so it's same as other pillows

Look hard and doesn’t feel comfortable.

I'm a brand-new CPAP user, so definitely extra-sensitive to comfort and such. This pillow is really great, offering support to the forehead, cheeks, and jaw, while leaving the nose area clear so the CPAP mask isn't pushed around. The pillow itself is also very comfortable. I removed one layer to customize it to my size, and it's perfect. In fact, it's so comfortable, I'd like it even without the CPAP. It'd be great for stomach sleepers, so noses are left free for breathing. Highly recommended!

The pillow exceeded my expectations. The adjustable height feature is very useful, and my sleep has improved significantly because it helps keep the mask stable compared to regular pillows. It has also greatly reduced the tension in my neck. It takes some time to get used to, but once you do, it becomes hard to sleep without it.
