Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE
These work great on the Swift FX. Never need adjusted. I've been using the same one for around two years. Thanks for the tip. I'll give them a try. It's always nice to find a cheap alternative. :D Edit: Found an elastic version that works well. VELCRO® Brand All-Purpose Strap - Elastic 27in x 1in S...

Re: Mouth Breather Can't Fix It - (Anyone use Dreamwear?)
I wouldn't recommend a rigid collar. I think it's overkill, uncomfortable, and you don't need that much support. You're only trying to support the jaw from dropping, and not trying to immobilize the neck. Stick with foam even though they do need to be replaced periodically. You actually have to slee...

Re: Mouth Breather Can't Fix It - (Anyone use Dreamwear?)
It's just the Futuro is a lot more accessible. You can buy it at most pharmacies. There's not a huge difference between the two. I had to dig up the link for the KX collar.

Here's another foam cervical collar I've tried and can recommend. I actually prefer it over the Futuro.

Re: Mouth Breather Can't Fix It - (Anyone use Dreamwear?)
That is how the headband is positioned. On the back of the neck, it's supported in place where the collar meets the back of the head. Over the mouth, it's flat enough that it just doesn't slip off. It's not that tight. It simply adds a little extra counter pressure to the lips. I'm sure some people ...

That's an interesting mask. Might have to give that one a look-see. Thx Burny.

Re: Mouth Breather Can't Fix It - (Anyone use Dreamwear?)
As an alternative to taping, I use a foam cervical collar to prop the jaw closed and a sports headband over my mouth to keep my lips from blowing out. I get a good air seal and it's comfortable. It's easy to apply and remove as well. Futuro collar http://www.futuro-usa.com/3M/en_US/futuro-us/product...

Re: Mouth Taping with Beard... no worky
I use an elastic cloth forehead sweat band across my lips. It looks silly but it's quite comfortable and effective.

It is possible to lose weight and for untreated apnea to improve, remain unchanged, or worsen.

Re: In Less Than 2 Hours, Airing Surpasses $100,000
Airing is promising just a bit too much pixy dust. And by a bit too much, I mean a s--t load. 1.) It doesn't have to be battery powered and disposable. People would pay through the nose for a reusable compact hoseless unit. A light-weight power cable from a wall adapter to my face is not necessaril...
