Which is the best Sleep Apnea pillow?

Which is the best Sleep Apnea pillow?
If you Google "CPAP Pillow" you get about a million responses. I know there must be a "Best" pillow out there. What is your favorite, especially for side sleeping to minimize leakage? Thanks, Jim

This is totally a user subjective topic. As for me. I use a buckwheat and foam pillow manufactured by a fellow in Utah. It's comfortable, adjustable and doesn't allow your head to sink down in it, thus pushing your mask.

Stick it to the man, Download OSCAR and take back control of your data!

I'm anxious to clear up this leakage problem so I went ahead and ordered a [commercial link removed - simply search Amazon for "Science of Sleep SleePAP CPAP Pillow" to get to the product - Admin] It has good reviews especially for clearing up leakage problems. Thanks for the other suggestions. Regards, Jim

Maybe you should get some sleep to help you think more clearly?! Dielaughing

I have been using a very thin pillow for the last two nights and my AHI has halved. I am a back sleeper. But yes, its all very personal, you have to go on a journey to find what works for you.

okrobie,
Unfortunately, no one can really say what the "best" pillow is. It's on the same level as choosing a Cpap mask. The drawback is you can't return the dang pillow if you don't like it.

My husband has commented many times about my pillow collection. Oh-jeez
I have spent a lot of $ trying out different "Cpap" pillows.

After about 6 months of that nonsense, I went back to the original pillow I used before Cpap therapy, which is a my pillow.
