Pillows are tricky. Regardless of whether we are CPAP users or not, positioning for breathing is prime. Most pillows don't give the right amount of height or firmness and if they do, the support shape is lousy. Anyone who stacks pillows can usually attest to the trade-off (breathing vs. a neck ache). Add in CPAP, and there is a whole new wrinkle--Provide elevation while keeping the neck and torso aligned, facilitate side sleeping, but still work for the back, keep any facial distortion from interfering with mask function and and, oh yeah, feel comfortable. The reason we originally developed the O2 Pillow was to help position the body for optimum breathing, which usually meant optimum comfort as well. Helping with CPAP compliance came next, largely as a result of our exposure to a large clientele suffering from Apnea. The Oxygen Pillow works. Positioned correctly, the O2 Pillow rotates the face away from the pillow, provides support for the head and neck while providing a properly managed elevation (and actually feels good). Like Mike, I'm biased as well, but I've seen the difference it makes for clients over the years. If anyone ends up with one, feel free to email me a question or comment.
