Does this work under a CPAP mask ? I noticed my facial mask has a tendency to pull my chin in and down.

I use this with my mask and it works quite well. It does stretch out as time goes by. I am re-ordering one. I have been using my current strap for 2 years-so I think I have gotten my money's worth!

Unfortunately I didn't order the larger size. Therefore, I find it unusable

I've found no problem with breathing in this mask... I believe the slightly larger holes on the mouth area are designed for allowing easier air flow. hope this helps :)

I don't think this mask could be used with an apnea machine because of the nose piece. I don't have one of those apnea masks but I believe they also cover the nose and this mask would not fit properly over another machine. It actually is not good if you have a larger nose either.

My wife wears this mask comfortably with her BiPAP (bidirectional CPAP); but there are several styles of CPAP masks, so we can't vouch for all of them.

No, not really. I have a CPAP, and when I don't use it with this pillow, I definitely still snore.

I doubt it will work. I snore the same way, Lips Closed but teeth apart. This did not help me.

You know, I've never thought about it. I bought this years ago and it DID work (I'll bet it's still in my nightstand). It DOES make sense that it would work the area under the chin if I flexed it. Thanks for the question! Good idea.

Chin size is more the variable than head/face size. If the person has a very narrow or pointed chin there may be some leakage along the bottom of the mask.

I rarely find myself on my back when I am sleeping. When I do I have problems with my cpap mask leaking which usually wakes me up. That is no fault of the pillow and others may not have that problem. I have used mine every night and so far it has held its shape really well.

I don't have the experience myself with CPAP stomach sleeper, but I know 2 different people that do and they love this pillow. I hope that helps you. This pillow forms around you no matter how you lay.

To be honest I don't know but all I can tell you are my experiences with this particular face mask. It covers my face well and it even has a ventilated mesh like area around your mouth that can get wet from moisture from heavy breathing sometimes but it doesn't happen to me often. This one comes down around the neck like a cowl that you can tuck in under your shirt and I readjust the face area sometimes in front of a mirror because I'm obsessive compulsive with making it line up right lol You can also pull down the mouth area in case you go inside a public place so you don't put people on edge which I forget to do sometimes considering it does conceal my entire face except for my eyes.

Not sure I understand your question. Are you replacing a mask that goes over your nose with the nasal pillows? To switch I think need the new head grear, nasal pillows, and tube that connects bigger hose to the machine. Don't need a chin strap. A good resource is CPAP.com to see what parts work together

I am not a CPAP user, but I do tend to open my mouth while I'm sleeping and this takes care of that. Furthermore, I have chronic headaches and generally do not like to have anything on my head, but this is comfortable.

Yes it should work for a stomach sleeper...but as I said in my review its quite a firm/hard pillow, I'm a side sleeper and usually have my arm under the pillow. I had to remove the 3/4" foam piece from the pillow to make it lower. I am finding the pillow is getting softer the more I use it or I getting use to the pillow??? I bought mine from a CPAP supply store and they have a no return policy.... I not sure what Amazon's policy is on returns..... But basically I personally WOULD NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE. You may find it the greats thing since sliced bread.... I can still get my mask to leak as I must move around a lot while sleeping.

That cover only the nose. So you cannot control the mouth breathing while you sleep. Maybe you need the other mask, that cover the nose and the mouth.

I think it does honestly. The small cut out in the middle of the mouthpiece allows for easier breathing and the guard itself keeps your jaw aligned, therefore I'd think your airway would be consistently open? I used to snore at times, but haven't noticed snoring anymore.

No. It cleans the mask, attached tubing (short and long) and humidifier water tank that is enclosed in your CPAP machine.
