Ted,

Question: is the Aura "back on top" of your head?

The aura surrounding the "Aura" seems to be fading so I'll bump it up to the top again.

Folks! This is one to take a good look at!

From the looks of it, its hard to believe that it would be comfortable.
How quiet is it? I think the Activa is quiet and the Swift air noisey so what is the noise meter on this one?

Thanks for the review. Seems like you like it Ted.

Ted, how well did you sleep with it? Did it cause you to wake up at all? Were there any indentations on your face in the morning?

Paul

Hi Paul,

I didn't wake up during the night. I would say that I slept very well. That is why I got excited about this interface. No strap marks, and it doesn't goose your hair in the front. lol

It may not be for everyone, but I like it.

Regards,

Ted

Now if it would actually help you grow hair in front, then there's some interface!

I'm gonna follow this one closely. I still haven't gotten close enough to the "perfect" interface, and I'm on number 9... I'm helping with Ted The Titrator's Retirement Fund!!

Just to bring this back to the top, I'll tell you all, mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, March 10th and I'll use it tomorrow night and let you know on Friday how it went!

I'm looking for a break from my SWIFT. I rolled over and slept on the hose last night. Today I have some serious hose tracks on my forehead.

Ted,

Please let us know: (1) For side sleepers, is there much movement of the mask, and does the leakage increase during side sleep, and (2) how do you recommend we size ourselves or determine the proper mask size? It's expensive to order a mask and pick wrong size.

thank you, Andy

Andy,

I'm scheduled to receive mine any minute. Ted had replied to me in another thread that the Aura comes with both size nasal seals that are currently available and that a size small seal will be comming out in the future. Unless you think you need the small seal there should be no concern about ordering the right size. Ted also said that he is an active sleeper and had no problems with breaking the seal. I'll post my reactions as soon as it comes and I can rip the box open! It looks like it will be a winner. Let's hope!
