select comfort bed
We have had every kind of mattress there is - the tempurpedic was comfortable but way too hot during sleep. We now have twin select comforts that are adjustable (not just the air for softness/hardness) but adjust fully at the feet and head. I have a very serious back/neck injury and it works great f...

NoseBreathe
I had no luck with taping but do fabulous with the NoseBreathe oral appliance from Dr. Sue
First month of CPAP is truly a battle, but be diligent and try new things - just don't give up on CPAP as it will change your life down the road!!!

Nosebreathe
YIPES!! I must have removed my nosebreathe mouthpiece in early am and left on bed rather than putting in drawer. When I went in later am to make the bed - there it sat - right where the dog chewed it up!!! I immediately got on line and ordered 2 from steven@nosebreathe.com so I'd have one and a spar...

pad a cheek
Tom - The best thing to prevent the forehead bruising is to go to Pad A Cheek and buy her forehead pads. I had much trouble with soreness over the bridge of my nose and finally started using the Band Aid ActivFlex pads on the bridge of nose -helped considerably. If your skin is not sensitive to adhe...

Same type of band aid as above but is called BAND-AID Advanced Healing BLISTER There are only 6 to a box but can be trimmed (prior to peeling off backing) for a custom fit (to your very own personal nose!!!). I can get appx...

asthma
Birdie Baby - I don't have asthma but have Reactive Airway Disease, which is basically asthma minus the bronchial spasms. You MUST get a humidifier or your lungs will be as dry as your nose and throat. I have been able to stay away from Albuterol since starting CPAP 4/4/06 - humidified air keeps my ...

prevent sores bridge of nose
Have posted this before but bears repeating. Have found the answer (for me) to prevent mask from digging into bridge of nose - I know for many of us "pappers", that's sometimes reason enough to have to stop using CPAP - at best, it is painful and obnoxious. I have learned if I use the BandAid brand ...

That Pad-A-Cheek lady - isn't she great!!!! I've had her new forehead cover since just middle of last week and could tell you after 1 night how incredible her new product is.

I don't know when they will be on her website - I received them through her request on this site for people to "test" them for her. You could email her at treeloftstudio@yahoo.com and get the information.
