CPAP pillow that works for forehead mount tube?

CPAP pillow that works for forehead mount tube?
Hi Folks,
  I'm sleeping great, but still doing way too much tube wrangling (with the resulting neck tension in the morning) so I was looking into CPAP pillows - but they all seem to show the kind of mask where the tube attaches at the chin, not the top of the head as mine does.  So I can't tell what would work.  Does anybody out there have one of these and can you tell me its brand / where you got it?

Many thanks,
Marylee

You might like the ResMed AirFit P30i.  Before I switched to Bleep I used that.  I liked it better than the Dreamwear version which is similar to it.  I think that the starter pack contains all three sizes of the actual masks, so one should work for you.  Best of luck!

I think she's looking for a bed pillow rather than a nasal pillow. I too have a top-mount hose. I just ordered a pillow, brand is ikstar, arriving tomorrow and if I like it I'll let you know.

My wife has a top-of-head hose (not sure of mask) and uses a regular pillow. But I made sure she watched several YouTube videos on how to fit it, etc. She says it has never gotten in her way. Perhaps it is a matter of proper adjustment?

I recently bought two types of cervical pillows and both work very well for such a top breathing "whale" as me. The pillows are the Ocuuziisu Neck Support Pillow (has little fins on one side) and the Elviros Cevical Memory Foam Pillow (has side indents so my mask is not pressed against the pillow as I side sleep).  I use the Ocuuziisu pillow the most because the fins stop me from tucking my chin in although last night I it rotated around and slept very well.    The older I have become, the harder it seems to find a pillow that "works" for me.

I think having a hose holder would be helpful too. Any favorites?

I also use CPAP that has a forehead strap and am a side sleeper.
I tried our 3 and the EnduriMed was the keeper for me.

Marylee, I thought you were talking about a pillows mask with the hose attachment on top of your head, but others think you were talking about a bed pillow.  Which is it?

In either case, have you found what you need?
