Hot sweaty head from CPAP equipment
Hi all,
This is my first post. I have been using a CPAP for over 2 years now. I've been having a problem with the combination of a down pillow, the head gear and a chin strap. My head gets hot from the head straps, chin straps, and pillow. I wake up drenched in sweat and have to wash my CPAP gear. pillows, and sheets quite frequently or else they stink from the sweat. Is anyone else have a problem with sweat?
What are your thoughts on a buckwheat pillow. I need something better for back sleeping.

I tried a special contour CPAP pillow & hated it! I am back to my favorite down pillow. Have never tried buckwheat~somehow it does not SOUND comfortable.

How do you feel? Did you have these sweats before starting CPAP?
Waking up drenched in sweat is a symptom of severe sleep apnea.
Do you have a CPAP machine and software that records your breathing and gives you a report of the effectivness, or lack thereof, of your CPAP therapy each day?
Without data capability you cannot know whether the process is enabling normal breathing and prevent apneas.

I have a buckwheat pillow and in my case I sweat just as bad (like what you describe I wake up literally wet at times). I do have an anti-allergy pillow cover on it though due to severe allergies and don't know if that contributes to the problem as it is made of a dense kind of like waterproof material.
