EnduriMed CPAP Pillow for Side Sleeping - Adjustable Memory Foam CPAP Pillows for Side & Back Sleepers - HSA FSA Pillow Eligible for Better Sleep

Hello Amazon World, This is the first review I have ever written for something I bought off of Amazon. Like a lot of folks looking at this pillow, I was at my wits end. I had been sleep deprived for a long time, got diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and looked toward my CPAP machine as the thing that was going to turn my life around all to discover it would not be an instant fix but a series of macro and micro adjustments on the path towards better sleep and health. My pillow situation was a macro adjustment. I have always side slept propped up with a mountain of pillows and a neck bone pillow (loved that thing fiercely) but that set up was not going to work with the mask. I fiddled with the pillows I owned, bought others at Costco and Target and then went searching online to see what solutions other folks found and found this EnduriMed CPAP pillow--which has exceeded all expectations. The minute I laid down on the pillow with my mask on I knew it was victory!! I really struggled to spend so much on one pillow, but remembered another reviewer who said just buy the dang thing and they were right! This pillow really works for me as a side sleeper. I use a Resmed AirFit P30i nasal pillow air mask and I am able to side sleep very comfortably with an acceptable amount of mask movement. The longer I use the pillow, the less I seem to disturb the mask while I sleep and move around. This product gets a whopping and well deserved 5 stars from me. I am two weeks in with using the EnduriMed CPAP pillow and I think it might be the best pillow I have ever owned--period. Now onto those micro adjustments ....

This is a great pillow for side sleepers who wear CPAP masks. It takes a few uses until you find the sweet spot for your position and mask. Prior to this pillow my mask routinely shifted and leaked air every night. Not so since I've adjusted to this new pillow.

This is the second CPAP pillow I ordered during my journey to make wearing a CPAP less odious. The first brand I ordered was clearly meant for a man, as it was too high. This EnduriMed Memory Foam CPAP pillow has two heights depending on which end you sleep on and is almost the perfect height for me, a petite woman. When sleeping on my back, it's more comfortable to sleep higher up on the pillow and when sleeping on my side, my head fits right where designed to. There is a protrusion to hold your forehead from rolling forward and off the pillow when sleeping on your side and my nose mask fits just right into the cut out. The pillow comes with a triangular shaped pad to increase the height of the pillow, but I just threw that away. Happily, the pillow fits in a regular queen size pillowcase, so I don't need to wrestle the specialized cover off it. A regular pillowcase also reduces the hospital bed look. I've had this pillow about two months now and use it even when I don't use my CPAP. It's weirdly comfortable.

After switching to a full face CPAP mask and having issues with a regular pillow causing my mask to leak and leave long lasting red marks on my face I started researching CPAP pillows. There aren't too many helpful videos or comparisons of CPAP pillows, only general recommendations. The 2 that I found were consistently recommended were the Contour CPAPMax Pillow 2.0 and this EnduriMed pillow. I decided to buy both hoping one would fix my issues. The EnduriMed pillow came first and so I slept with it for 2 nights before the Contour pillow came and I was impressed. When the Contour pillow came I unpackaged it and started testing it out. I knew pretty much instantly that I wanted to keep the EnduriMed. Here are my thoughts: 1) These pillow share one thing in common which is that they are both firm, or at least firmer than what I am used to. I believe this could be a necessity with CPAP pillows to prevent the mask from sinking into the pillow too much (which caused all my issues). 2) The quality of the Contour pillow seemed cheaper to me and the design way more simple/basic. It's just a regular firm pillow with cut outs on the sides which might work for some people but never felt like it would for me. The cut outs were a bit too big for my head so that when I would lay on my side, the top of my head wasn't supported as well which would allow my head to fall right off the side into the cut out opening. The EnduriMed cutout opening is not as big. This of course means that if you have a larger head perhaps the Contour pillow would fit better but I don't think I have that small of a head and the EnduriMed cutouts just seemed to be a better size. Also as you can see in the images of the EnduriMed pillow, it has 4 cutouts which just allow you to flip the pillow around to give you a different fit which may work better for some people. If your forehead isn't supported well while your mask is off to the side of these pillows, the pillow won't work. Your head will fall off the pillow. The EnduriMed was a better fit for my head (and I'd guess the majority of heads out there). 3) The side cutouts on the EnduriMed are much better. With the Contour pillow they are basically cliffs with a straight drop off. Each side of the EnduriMed pillow are more like a hill with a gradual slope to the bottom. They do this with a slightly softer foam in the pillow's cutouts that provide a softer less firm support for your mask and mouth area. This is so much better than what the Contour pillow provides which is nothing, just a cliff. This makes getting your head and mask positioned comfortably on the EnduriMed pillow much easier than with the Contour pillow which in my testing and trying to make it work was just way more difficult because you have to perfectly position your head at the edge of the pillow for your mask to go off the sides and not into the pillow. Overall, the EnduriMed pillow seems to be higher quality, a more thoughtful, smart and engineered design that just made way more sense then the Contour pillow which by contrast seemed cheaper and has a very basic design which did not fit me. That doesn't mean it won't fit you but I'd say you'd have a better chance with the EnduriMed pillow. It's more flexible in it's design which allows more people to find the right position/fit as well as having smart cut outs instead of dumb cutouts make it a much more functional comfortable pillow. I'm honestly surprised that the Contour pillow get's such glowing praise and seems to always be the overall recommended CPAP pillow across most websites I came across. Maybe I'm a dummy that couldn't figure out how to use it correctly, but IMO the EnduriMed is way better and should always be recommended over the Contour. I've been using the EnduriMed for about a month now and it's resolved all mask issues.

Parfaitement adaptée. Très douce au toucher.

It took a lot of adjustments getting comfortable and used to CPAP. Finally found a bed system that worked for me... until it didn't. I have wasted a bunch of money buying different styles of pillows & different mask styles - trying to be comfortable. Eventually I settled on a low solid foam pillow and the Dreamwear nasal mask. Problem is I'm a side sleeper and a couple of weeks ago I noticed permanent dents starting on my cheekbones. It wasn't too tight or anything it's just from laying on it. I felt defeated and worried it was back to square one. Since then I've been in MacGyver mode. I've tried every hack I can come up with between cutting a hole in my pillow, to padding the face tube sides with different things to distribute the strap impact better. Even the mop head hack off of YouTube. Nothing helps. I was hesitant to invest yet another $100 into yet another pillow, but decided to take a chance on this one because it's specifically designed for CPAP. I'm not disappointed and wish I would have just bought the right dang pillow in the first place. Once it's broke in a bit it will be perfect. No pressure on my cheek whatsoever yet side of forehead and jaw feel supported. If you've been suffering like me, before you change your mask style, pillows and MacGyver hacks, Just buy the pillow.

Riktigt fin kudde!!

I had given five star review earlier, but have to revise the review now. This pillow is becoming more uncomfortable with usage. Within 10 days of usage, neck pain is increasing. So, instead of using this pillow, I just slept to a side by folding my hand at elbow and resting my head on my forearm. The gap at the elbow prevented mask leaks well enough. By the way, I learnt that this is also a yoga pose for to breathe easy and sleep well. I guess most of the positive reviews would have come from customers in initial days of purchase. Only after they gave positive reviews and after the return period is over, they would have realized that this product is not just useless, but also harmful. This purchase is a costly mistake.

This pillow was bought for my father who has suffered from sleep apnea for some years now. He has had various different styles of masks, and although not the most natural way to sleep, with a mask and tube attached to your face (my nephew when he was little use to say "grandads got a noo noo (the Hoover from tellytubbies) on his face". It was a case of having to put up with it for his health. Just lately he has been having trouble sleeping. So I got this pillow. It arrived promptly and that night he gave it a try. The next morning he said it was absolutely magic. The best sleep he has had in years. The memory foam is soft but firm enough to support your head. The cut out corners allow the hose to fit in giving some room to move during the night but not to infringe on the mask so no air leaks. All in all a really good well thought out and made pillow for CPAP users. There is a slight smell from the memory foam (outgassing). But nothing major and my father said he couldn't smell it when his mask was attached. It's only been a few nights of use but so far my father is highly rating this pillow and wished he'd got one years ago. It really has made a difference, and does exactly as listed on the item pictures Recommended.
