Highly recommend Papillow

Post by stoverquill » Thu Nov 30, 2006 6:34 am

Hi All,

Slept last night on my new PAPillow. This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on! I think anyone, not just pappers would like this one.
Wishing you dreams!!!

Post by laurie2025 » Thu Nov 30, 2006 6:55 am

Where did you find this pillow? Online? I am considering trying it, but I don't know where to buy it. There website has a locator, but there isn't any place in Illinois.

I got mine on line at talkaboutsleep.com it was $59. I love this pillow. I am now able to sleep in any position easily. Sometimes you see the pillows on e-bay a bit cheaper, but either way it was one of those investments that was well worth it!

A double edge PAPillow from talkaboutsleep is what I've been using for over a year. Love it!

Alisha, there's a picture of it at this link:

PAPillow at talkaboutsleep.com

Has contoured cut out sides so a mask doesn't bump the pillow when sleeping on one's side and switching sides. Works well for sleeping on my back too, which I don't do very often. I'd think it would be good for tummy sleeping also.

I can nestle my shoulder well up into the bottom contour of the pillow and get good neck support. The full-size double edge pillow is not as big as "regular" pillows.

The first PAPillows that were made some years ago were too firm or hard according to many people. But the ones made for the past year or so are "just right" -- for me, anyway! I like a soft pillow, not a hard one. I'm kinda like Goldilocks (and the Princess and the Pea, for that matter!) when it comes to "comfort".

That's the only caution I'd have if I were going to buy one on eBay...I'd want to know it was one that had been made in the past year.

The one I have, carried by the talkaboutsleep site, is extremely well made. Can go right in the washer and dryer. Works great and feels very comfy to me.

I have the same pillow as rested gal. I don't have to rearrange the pillow all night...just turn over!

what size

Post by Guest » Sat Dec 02, 2006 8:34 pm

Does anyone use the mini or is it mostly just for travel? Would like to hear from someone who has used both sizes and why they prefer which one. Also any opinion on the satin or cotton cases?

Thanks!

The page that comes up with the link in my post says:

"Comfortable, hypoallergenic synthetic down fill"

Here's more specific info about the fill:

Softness is a very subjective thing. Soft to me, may feel firm to you. Even among memory foam pillows, many densities are available. Of the memory foam pillows I have personally tried, I would describe the PAPillow as softer. Comparing it to a NEW fiberfill pillow, I would say it is a bit firmer than these. However, a fiberfill pillow rapidly becomes firmer with use, as the strands begin to mat around clumps of fill. The PAPillow becomes softer with use. the fill is "shredded" polyolefin/fiberfill blend, also referred to as "synthethic down" (search for Fossfill ultra for more info on fill) It conforms "squishes",LOL, more like a down/feather pillow, is allergy free and washable up to 30 times without losing its fluffiness.

stoverquill,

I am glad that your start to CPAP is going well.

Thanks for starting this thread. I did not even see it when I started my post about the Papillow.

I also see a papillow on this site, looks the same to me as the other one. Any local stores have it so we can see it before ordering and paying shipping costs?

Hi Guest,
Yes, it looks like cpap.com started carrying it. Yay! As far as I know, this pillow is not available in stores, only online.

Machine: M-Series Auto
Mask: Headrest
No humidifier
On the hose since 2005.
