Features The CPAP Comfort Pillow is designed to improve the quality and comfort of your sleep while you're wearing a CPAP mask, especially for side sleepers. If you have sleep apnea, your doctor might have recommended that you wear a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) system. A CPAP system provides constant airflow which holds your airways so that uninterrupted breathing is maintained while you sleep. Unfortunately, the masks can be uncomfortable if you are a side sleeper. Now you don't have to give up on sleeping well to follow your doctor's orders! The CPAP Comfort Pillow is specially contoured to let you sleep in your favorite position! This incredibly soft foam pillow cradles your head, neck and face to keep you in a safe, comfortable position throughout the night. The pressure-free zones on both bottom corners prevent your mask from pressing against your face, no matter which side you prefer to lie on. Benefits of the CPAP Pillow: Reduces mask leaks and pressure on your face Improves airway alignment as well as neck and spinal alignment Works with every brand and style of mask Allows more freedom of movement during sleep The machine washable terry velour cover is extremely soft against your skin. In addition, this pillow is very soft and supportive, the style preferred by most side sleepers. However, if you prefer a firmer or higher pillow, try putting the CPAP Comfort Pillow on top of your normal pillow!
Editorial Reviews: 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 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. This 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 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 people at Contour Living have developed a solution. It's the CPAP Multi-Mask Sleep Aid. It Improves: Mask comfort, Freedom of movement during sleep, Multi-position sleeping for side, back and stomach sleepers, Neck support and spinal alignment. It reduces: Mask leaks, Mask pressure on face, Airway resistance due to better neck support.
