Epilepsy Anti-Suffocation Pillows (often shortened to epilepsy pillow) are breathable, which helps allow free air flow, and for fluids to drain away.
For people with epilepsy, a seizure in bed might pose a risk of suffocation through restriction of breathing if the seizure pushes the person’s face into the pillow. Using an Anti-Suffocation Pillow (epilepsy pillow) can help ensure that breathing doesn’t become obstructed during a seizure, enhancing individuals’ safety and offering reassurance to families and carers.

Wouldn’t be without it now – we all sleep a bit better for having it.
Bought this for my son, now 18. He’s had epilepsy all his life but recently has had more night time seizures. Respite told us about these pillows as I’d not heard of them!
I thought it seemed quite solid and the ‘new’ smell took a while to evaporate but he is very happy to use it.

Great quality, value & peace of mind
This is the second anti suffocation pillow we’ve bought for our son, who has night time seizures. All in all, it’s a great buy. It’s higher quality and less expensive than our previous one. Very, very pleased and reassured that it will make our son’s nights safer
