Sleep Pillow (Hack for less leaks and a good sleep)
There are few important facts for great Cpap treatment, proper machine & settings, great mask + pillow that gives the person a decent sleep.
I thought I would share this for newbies and seasoned Cpap users who sleep mostly on their sides but have leaks. Not saying this is the best solution to leaks but it might help those with lots of mask leaks.
I like to use my favourite thinner pillow that supports my best breathing posture that is not to wide so when laying on my side it does not bump mask to allowing mask leakage. My pillow one end folded downwards towards book head board + shorter pillow foot print.(Childrens pillow could work also?)
I have been looking at Possibly cpap pillows recently(not many forum threads on pillows) and most are made usually from memory foam but I guess I'm set in my ways for just a regular pillow guy. My wife likes those pink pillow cases so it could look a little odd a color to some.
To wide a length regular pillow that cradles the head, has a tendency to shift the mask a little and leaks could start and machine has to increase pressures to compensate.
Just thinking out loud how a little inexpensive change might help a person!
Have some great sleeps!
