CPAP LUNDBERG Pillow shoulder pain

[Roy289]

I'm a side sleeper and began using the new CPAP pillow by Lundberg.  I found it dramatically reduced CPAP events from 5 to around 1.6. Unfortunately I'm experiencing pain below my collar bone to the point I can no longer use the pillow.  hope someone else has used this style of CPAP pillow and can share their experiences.

thanks

I have not tried the Lunderg, but it looks interesting. I use the Contour CPAPmax 2.0 pillow, which is similar. I found I had to remove some of the height by taking out one of the adjustment layers to avoid shoulder pain. Something to consider as it appears the Lunberg has a way to adjust height.

Thanks for your response.  I also looked at the CPAP Max2.  I use a mask where the tubing is routed from the top of the mask frame.  I first tried using the Lundberg pillow without the additional 1.5" insert but started to have pain below my shoulder blade.  I think it might have something to do with the way my body is positioned on my right side.

I hope you found that AHI events dropped dramatically as well.  In my case the OA's almost disappeared. The CPAP pillow stops chin tucking as your neck is resting in the depression on the edge of the pillow.  Too bad it introduces so much pain.
