Simple question- Are the sleep pillows worth the money?
Saw a contoured sleep pillow at the DME supplier today. $55. Looks like it would help. Anyone have one ?

I bought a Contour pillow and have found it a great help as my head get to lie on the pillow but the mask stays off it. I have also bought a Psyche pillow but prefer the Contour.

You should buy one.
In the first months of my CPAP adventures I bought five expensive specialized pillows and wedges. They all reside in a closet now and I use a very common $7.00 standard synthetic-down pillow. My head is on the edge of the pillow so the mask protrudes off the edge (I sleep on my tummy and sides).
But I say every CPAPer should buy several different types of CPAP pillows, try them, and put them in a closet.
It costs a little money, but you "get it out of your system" and quit worrying about it. :)

the simple answer is YES, they are worth the money. BUT it only works if you get one that's specifically designed to increase the volume of the airway, and the only one i know of that does that is the Oxygen Pillow (which, full disclosure, I sell at my online store ApneaLife: http://apnealife.com/products/Oxygen-Pillow.html). The logic behind this conclusion can be found at the post I just made here on the Traditional Korean Pillow: http://www.sleepguide.com/forum/topics/traditional-korean-pillow

I bought the Regenesis pillow which worked well with my quattro mask, but not so well with my FitLife. It's retired. I now use a regular pillow and am saving for an Oxygen pillow.

I have tried the Psyche pillow, and unfortunately because I have chronic neck issues the curve in it just aggravated my condition. Other than that I thought it was fabulous! It actually lifts the chin slightly, and my mask never even touched the pillow!
I am curious, Susan, why you like the Contour better? We sell both, but I would love to know what you like about it so I can tell people who are interested in it.
Thanks!
