“I met Karen Moore several conferences ago before Covid and she had a great story that stayed with me for years,” say Ruth Marion, The Sleep Forum.  Karen Moore is owner and creator of Pad-A-Cheek, a padding that fits on your CPAP increasing comfort and decreasing the lines on your face in the morning.

Marion asks Moore to tell her story to the audience.  “It all began when I woke up one day and noticed these terrible lines on my face from my CPAP,” says Moore.

“In spring 2004 I was diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.  I began my treatment and quickly realized it was hard to fall asleep with the new equipment. The mask was uncomfortable and the straps left marks on my face. It was challenging to keep air from blowing out the sides of the mask, or out of my mouth. I sorta slept that first night.”

What really bothered Moore was waking up in the morning and seeing marks from the headgear.  Moore decided to create her own solution and sewed flannel tubes that slid onto the CPAP mask.  She realized it was much more comfortable and she did not have lines on her face when she woke up.  She continued wearing the CPAP with the flannel covering for six months and learned to love the machine and the mask.

What impressed me the most Moore’s motivation to bring PAD-A-CHEEK products to as many CPAP users as possible, at a reasonable price.  As for customer care, it doesn’t get much better than PAD-A-CHEEK.  Moore adds, “Should you have a question or concern, you can call directly and I will walk you through ordering the right product or answer any other questions you might have.”
