Best Pillows for Sleep Apnea
Specialized pillows that support better breathing and CPAP compliance.
The right pillow can significantly impact sleep apnea severity and CPAP therapy comfort. From CPAP-compatible designs to wedge pillows for positional therapy, we review the top options.
CPAP Pillows
Designed with cutouts and contours to accommodate CPAP masks, these pillows prevent mask displacement and air leaks, especially for side sleepers.
Wedge Pillows
Elevating the upper body 30-45 degrees can reduce airway collapse and gravity-related obstruction, making wedge pillows effective for mild positional sleep apnea.
Cervical Pillows
Contoured to support proper neck alignment, cervical pillows help keep airways open and reduce strain on neck muscles during sleep.
What to Look For
Key features include adjustable loft, memory foam or latex construction, hypoallergenic materials, CPAP mask compatibility, and proper neck support.
