I bought 5 different types of these pillows (the ones with the cut-outs) and unfortunately wasted a lot of money - one of them cost me £100 by the time it ended up on my doorstep from the US, due to postage + duty etc. They must help some people, but it's a chance people have to take as you can't try them first. We're in the process of having a different type of CPAP pillow manufactured, which my son actually came up with the idea for as he thinks 'outside the box' (can't say yet, but will let you all know first
). The problem for me was that where the mask is supposed to end in the cut-out it never did 
I'm sleeping on our prototype at the moment and it's working a treat for me, but before that I got the softest pillow I could get so it didn't cause the mask to nudge the seal, and tried to sleep at the edge of it too.
