Jim @jimhd I also settled on the ResMed AirFit F20 full face mask. I had used the Dreamware full face and Amara View and both worked well for a few weeks but then I had one of those nights and ripped them both off because I couldn't breathe. Both of the other masks fit under the nostrils and worked well as long as I could breathe through the nostrils. Once my nose plugged up all bets were off. I think that's part of being a "mouth breather" and has something to do with my deviated septum. Although when I mentioned the deviated septum to my sleep medicine doctor, he didn't think it would make any difference.

John, I use the air fit 20 nasal cushion mask. I used a full face for many years, but they aren't compatible with a beard. Sunny, I'm pretty sure I kept the mask like yours (I guess that goes without saying, being a moderate hoarder), and I'm going to give it another try.

We have a firm memory mattress, can't remember the brand. It's too firm for me. It hurts my joints and hurts where my scs implant is. I don't have any body fat to cushion everything. So, I have an egg crate foam pad on my side of the bed. It irritates my wife because it makes the mattress too tall for our fitted sheets and mattress cover. But that's nothing compared to the blanket lifter. I've adapted it so it's high enough for my big feet, and I extended the legs that go between the mattresses. The sheet and blankets are draped over it. The top blanket that we use in the winter season is big enough to tuck in the corner, and keeps everything in place. I need to sew an extension on one of the year round blankets. Think about hauling that around and setting it up every night, Hank. I already pack my Bipap, 3 or 4 pillows, multiple pairs of shoes, a bag of medications, 2 dog beds and 2 dogs. It seems like a lot of stuff, but nothing compared to what Linda or Sunny would need. If we need much more, we'll have to drive the Cadillac, which would be fine with me. I like driving it more than any compact - for one thing, there's enough legroom for me to be able to move my feet around. When I drive, I have to move my feet every couple of minutes because of pain. Some of you know what that's about. Thank God for cruise control.

Jim
