Any other CPAP users? Looking to get a CPAP pillow

[MotorCityBeard]

I've been using a CPAP since 2007. I recently got a new machine. It has Bluetooth on it and gives you a daily report on how you slept on it's app.

I'm getting a pretty good score, but the problem is the mask. I wear a full face mask (covers my mouth) and tend to move around a lot at night. I also sleep on my back or my side. I'm getting a lot of mask leaks during the night and want to try to minimize them.

From researching, it seems like a CPAP pillow would help, one with cut outs to accommodate the hose and the mask. Of course, there are lots of different ones in a range of prices.

Does anyone have one they can recommend?

1. I don't use a special pillow

I have a really good down pillow that I can mold to shape. having said that, when I was first starting I though for sure I would need a full face mask because I was such a mouth breather. turns out the pressure solved that just fine, I use a nasal mask and can even use the nasal pillows though I just don't care for them. have you tried just a nasal mask? probably since you have been using for long enough. still, trying different masks can be a good thing and they are always coming out with new stuff.

2. I use a Dreamwear, under the nose nasal cushion,

pulmonologist told me not to worry about minor leaks as long as they don't affect my eyes. I roll around a lot so I expect to have some leaks.

3. Nasal pillows all the way.

4. I don't know what brand it is

But I got one of those pillows with the cutouts, two larger ones on the bottom side and two smaller ones on the top side. It works pretty good, as I seem to average less than one episode per hour most nights.

6. People on CPAC rave about MyPillow.

Kidding. I wish I had a CPAP pillow, it would be far better than a mask/hose.
