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.

@jimhd Jim, I hear you about cruise control. What I can't figure out is how did older people dealt with driving long distances before it came along? I too find it a major pain (literally) to have to keep my foot on the gas pedal, like when you are stuck crawling in a traffic tie-up on the freeway for an hour and twenty minutes, which happened to me on Tuesday on I-40. Ankles hurt, right shin got a shin splint, and I had to start using my left leg for braking. Thank-you, whoever invented CC!
