Product Description

NEW and IMPROVED! Contour CPAP Pillow Finally, a CPAP Pillow Mask sleep aid that addresses comfort and compliance issues for CPAP users TCPAP 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 redesigned Contour CPAP Pillow (formerly Contour CPAP Multi-Mask Sleep Aid) boasts a more cushioned and supportive molded foam base plus a dual fabric design. The silky, quilted material follows the pillow s contours so your CPAP mask and shoulders easily glide over these areas as you move throughout the night, while your head is cushioned by soft velour. This sleep apnea pillow promotes proper support and contact free CPAP use. The pillow cover easily zips off for washing. The pillow 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 on side and back. Please note return policy. Pillows are not returnable once removed from sealed packaging.

This review is from: Contour CPAP Pillow (Health and Beauty)

The shape of the pillow is helpful. However, I cannot get used to the hardness. It feels like I'm sleeping on egg cartons. Probably cheap foam construction. It doesn't get better after you use it, contrary to what some reviews say.
