CPAP Pillows

When you sleep with CPAP equipment on a regular pillow, you may find yourself constantly folding and adjusting it to find the right fit, only to wake up again, tossing and turning all night. CPAP pillows solve this problem with uniquely shaped cutouts that make space for your mask and hose to reduce or eliminate mask leaks, allowing you to sleep more comfortably while treating your sleep apnea.

CPAP bed pillows come in all shapes and sizes that contour your head and neck while accommodating your mask and tubing. You’ll also find travel CPAP pillows and support pillows that help stabilize other parts of your body, such as the knees and hips. If you’re interested in our top picks, check out our review of the best CPAP pillows.

Why Buy a CPAP Pillow?

• Are you tired of not sleeping through the night because your mask leaks due to your traditional pillow shape? 
• Are you waking up each morning with red marks on your face from the pressure of your mask? 
• Do you want a pillow that can be adjusted and accommodate different sleeping positions?

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then you’ll benefit from adding a CPAP pillow to your nightly routine. Imagine how amazing you’ll feel after a full night of uninterrupted sleep!

Types of CPAP Pillows for Sale

CPAP bed pillows are often made of layered memory foam to provide the necessary support for your spine and CPAP equipment. You might also find these pillows filled with polyester fiber or cotton to provide a different level of firmness for those that prefer a softer pillow. Most of these pillows will typically include a custom machine-washable pillowcase or cover, though you may need to purchase one separately depending on the brand. 

• Smaller pillows for sleep apnea, like the Contour Legacy Leg Pillow, focus on providing better support to other areas of your body, allowing you to rest more comfortably. 
• Traditional CPAP pillow designs like the Contour CPAP Pillow 2.0 feature a simple yet effective design with large cutouts on either side to give your mask and hose room to rest if you prefer to sleep on your side. 

How to Choose a CPAP Pillow

There are several important factors to consider when shopping for a pillow made for CPAP therapy:

• Material - Is the pillow or pillowcase material important to you? Is cotton ok, or do you prefer something hypoallergenic? Does your face irritate easily? 
• Firmness - How much support do you like in a pillow? Do you prefer memory foam, or cotton or polyester stuffing instead?
• Your Sleeping Position - A flatter pillow with a curved indention for the head may be better suited for a back sleeper, but if you sleep on your side you’ll likely want something taller and more supportive to properly cradle your cervical spine and align your neck.
• Support Needs - Sometimes, all that’s needed is a little extra support or pillows that immobilize the lower body. Consider how adding a supportive pillow could better align your body, allowing you to wake up without pain or stiffness.
• Mask Accommodation - Does your mask or hose get stuck on or pulled by the edges of your standard pillow, or do you just need a more supportive pillow to cradle your head?
• Temperature Regulation - Memory foam is great for support but if it isn’t designed with temperature regulation in mind it will store a lot of heat. Look for cooling pillows with air-mesh or cooling gel layers to keep cool.
