Would like anyone who has used both of these masks to give me feedback on both.
I have Swift now. I would like to know if the Breeze is pretty stable if you are moving from side to side or not. I sleep on stomach, sides and back. I thought I was just a stomach sleeper, but woke up a few times lately on my back and side.
Thanks

Heidi,
I have both and like the Swift better. I too, sleep on my back and both sides. I have not had problems with the Breeze shifting around as others have reported and also do not have a problem with laying on the big plastic/metal fixture that sits on the lower portion of the back of your skull. You do have to be careful not to shift your head around a lot when laying on your back or the pillows will shift on your nose. The thing I don't like about the Breeze is it seems no matter what adjustment I make, it pushes on my nose to hard. I'm sure this is a function of the shape of my head and others will not find this. Like with all interfaces, the only sure thing is to try it for a while and see if you can make it work for you. I will say that if you can make it work (the Breeze) it seems less likely to cause a "bad hair day" than any other interface I've tried.

Liam, who really does look way too much like the goofy bald guy in the picture from a thread 3 weeks ago to ever look in a mirror.

Pictures
Liam,
I am very curious now. Maybe we should start posting our pictures on here. I had a visual on you but now I don't know anymore....
Heidi, who now thinks Liam looks like the bald guy on Seinfeld.

Well... my wife says I look better than that, but one would expect her to say that.hhunt wrote:Heidi, who now thinks Liam looks like the bald guy on Seinfeld.
I'm 6'1", about 240 lbs (up about 10 since getting married at Thanksgiving), and as stunningly handsome as it's possible to be while bald and goofy looking.
Liam, who also has a beard, if anyone really cares. Actually, he has it whether anyone cares or not.

... or you could post a picture of someone you would have liked to have looked like if you lived 100 years ago.
Actually, sounds like I could nearly be Liam's twin, especially the handsome, bald, and (quite) goofy looking parts. If my name was Mail, we could be a palindrome.

I've actually seen a picture of the real Lawrence of Arabia, and he looks amazingly like me, or at least, like I did when I was thinner and had hair.
Liam of Arabia. Nah, these days, that's probably not a safe place for someone as clearly American as I to be.
