Description

Getting a good night’s sleep while wrestling with a CPAP Mask is hard to do. If you are like most people using CPAP - the mask is always hitting the pillow. The leaks are hard to stop once they get started - and it is usually pretty hard to get back to sleep once it wakes you up. The CPAP Multi-Mask is soft, comfortable, and has cut-outs which allow the mask and tubing to fit as designed without hitting the pillow. In addition, the contour of this pillow allows your neck and spine to remain in alignment throughout the night.

The American Sleep Apnea Association identifies CPAP therapy as the most common treatment for sleep apnea. CPAP therapy works by preventing the airway from closing during sleep. It is administered at bedtime through a nasal or facial mask held in place by velcro straps around the patient’s head. The mask is connected by a tube to a small air compressor. The CPAP machine sends air under pressure through the tube and into the mask, where it imparts positive pressure to the upper airways, preventing the tissues in the back of the throat from collapsing during sleep.

This is an extremely effective form of treatment when used in compliance with doctors orders. However, non-compliance is a big issue. It has been estimated that over 65% of patients use the machine for a maximum of just 4 hours per night when it should be used for the duration of the patient’s sleep. Additionally, many patients report using the CPAP for just a few nights out of the week.

Discomfort is a major factor contributing to non-compliance. During side sleeping or stomach sleeping, the mask presses and rubs against the patient’s face, which leads to discomfort and can also distort the mask, causing leaks and exacerbating the problem of non-compliance.

The people at Contour Living have developed a solution. It’s the CPAP Multi-Mask Sleep Aid.
