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

 Contour CPAP pillow October 4, 2008
I wear a full face mask and I just don't see this pillow as being very helpful. I am sorry I spent the money on it.
 CPAP Pillow September 1, 2008
The contoured pillow still didn't allow me to adjust to the CPAP machine as a stomach sleeper.
