[Product Review] Apria CPAP Pillow

[mjbearit]

Well I thought it would be great to have a pillow designed for a CPAP user so I bought this Apria CPAP pillow which looked like it would be great!  It is made of memory foam and it has 2 kind of rounded areas with a kind of cradle between them and a small "ramp" for your shoulders.  It looks like it would hold you in a great body position.  And it does.  However, my hand kept falling asleep and waking me up.  I blamed it on my carpal tunnel which I am going to get fixed this year hopefully.  I started wearing my brace to bed at night like I am supposed to.  Well it all came to a head night before last when no matter what, my hand kept falling asleep, but this time it wasn't waking up.  I awoke Tuesday morning to half my hand feeling like it was asleep or on Novocaine or something.  Again, I blamed the CTS.  It took 2 hours before the lingering effects were gone.  To make a long story short, something about this pillow is putting pressure on my neck to the point it is causing a nerve problem.  I will NOT be using this pillow anymore!  I'm not saying this is a bad product or that this will happen to anyone else, I may have spinal issues I am unaware of, but this is NOT the product for me!  Going back to my old faithful "regular" pillow for now.
