Re: OPUS 360 pillows vs. Swift LT pillows

Hi, I have used the OPUS 360 but now have the Swift LT for her and it works better for me. The OPUS pillow would usually come off the frame sometime during the night and that doesn't happen with the Swift LT. I switch between the small and medium size pillows. My DME gives me all the pillows that co...

Hyper kid? Sleep apnea may be the culprit

Adding my holiday greetings to all and my thanks!

I don't post a lot but I come here often for news, tips and sometimes just a laugh.

I know I would have given up months ago on this therapy without this board!

Gratefully,

I usually wake up with a headache and an incredibly dry mouth. Later in the day I will struggle to keep from nodding off at work. Hard to believe I dealt with it daily for probably years...

Cleaning used mask?

What is the recommended way to clean a used mask, as in mask roulette? Do you need to buy a special mask disinfectant?

Moby, I think I know that feeling. I am going through something similar. For years now, with OSA, I have structured my life doing everything that had to be done (work, parenting) and then once having fulfilled those "have-tos" letting everything else slide. Having done it for so long, I find that I ...

stomach sleeper

Hi, I use the swift and many times wake up with my face mashed into my pillow on my stomach. I worry that the exhaust may get blocked when I am in this position. So I was wondering if a body pillow might help keep me sleeping on my side. Has anyone tried this to keep from stomach sleeping? Any recom...
