\nCPAP-friendly Pillows<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n These pillows come with cutouts to prevent leaks and help you sleep comfortably even with your mask on. These are often made from memory foam filling that provides deep spine support and keeps your head in a comfortable sleeping position.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\nOrthopedic\/ Contoured Pillows<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Same with CPAP pillows, these are usually made from memory foam, so they offer deep spine support too. Their best feature is they have contours designed to support the neck or elevate the head, and position both to reduce the risk of blockage.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\u00a0Wedge Pillows<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n These are triangular shaped pillows with one end higher than the other. They also work well in elevating the head.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\nAdjustable Pillows<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Made from shredded memory foam, filling this pillow shifts and moves, so you can customize its loft, thickness, and filling positioning. With these options, you can create a higher loft to elevate your head at night.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\nKeep your other health conditions in mind.<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Our goal is to manage your sleep apnea so we should avoid another sleeping disorder to the mix. With that in mind, you have to consider your skin allergies or sensitivities when choosing a sleep apnea pillow. As much as possible, go for hypoallergenic and natural pillow covers so you won\u2019t be exposed to potential allergy triggers.\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n\nGo with a pillow with a breathable and cool sleeping surface.<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Night sweats are another sleep disorder you would want to avoid, and you can do this by using a sleep apnea pillow with a breathable sleeping surface. Unfortunately, most sleep apnea pillows are made from memory foam, which is the pillow fill with poor temperature regulating properties, so you\u2019re prone to sleeping hot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe solution to this is to go for a memory foam pillow with gel-infusion technology or has a bamboo pillow cover.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nConclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n Snoring is a sign of sleep apnea, but not everyone who snores have sleep apnea.

If you exhibit this symptom, it\u2019s best that you visit your doctor right away.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIt can be scary to be diagnosed with a sleep disorder like sleep apnea. However, it\u2019s better to address it sooner rather than later so you can prevent further complications.
