The more I use these scents, the more I am hooked. I have been able to lower my sleeping meds. I know I am still waking up at night, but I don't think as often. I used to be able to tell you how many times I woke up and at what times. Now I just have general recollections of waking, but don't know h...

The different sizes all have different part numbers, so I think the cushions are not interchangeable. However, you could call the company, they have an 800 number listed on their website. The website is somnotech.com. TM Thanks! I am disappointed I didn't think of that myself. I called them and the...

Soyala Cushions

Does anyone know if the different size cushions all fit the same frame, or is the frame size different for each cushion size. I ordered a medium and now that I have used it for a couple nights, I am thinking I should have ordered a large... was hoping I could just order a different cushion.

Thanks!

I was so happy to find the Pur-Sleep website and ordered the deluxe starter kit. It can't arrive fast enough for me. I am hoping this will be the answer. I didn't realize what a life change this is going to be and it has left me rather depressed. Any advice anyone has would certainly be appreciated...

Hmmmm, since surgery in December, I have had the humidity turned way up. I think I will turn it down this tonight and see if that does the trick. Thanks!!

This morning the were very red a broken out with a half dozen pimple like things on each side. Anybody got a ...

I have similar problems with the hybrid. I even cut off the little piece between the nostril device. So I believe the Soyala sounds might be worth the investment. My problem was to get a good seal, I really had to have the pillows pressed tight to my nose. On occasion, they would slip inside my nos...

Had my first night with it last night. I loved it. I really liked the hybrid, but was having problems with nasal irritation, so I ordered a Soyala. At first it felt "different" but that quickly went away. I love the quietness and the fact that it doesn't blow on my wife. Granted, it is only one nigh...

Hi Mary! Hang in there. I too have had serious back/neck pain. A couple of micro-disectomies and a double fusion in the neck have the pain uner control, but know how bad sleeping can be when there is constant pain. I also am on an anti-depressant. I try to take that in the morning so as not to mess ...

Ordered mine today. Can't wait. Steve I don't think you will be disappointed. My first couple of nights I wasn't sure, but after discovering that one drop is Plenty for me, I have really started to appreciate the good smells. I wonder how much of it is like Pavlov's dog?

I originally had something more creative last year, but then dropped of the board for a while and forgot my password. The Board Admins couldn't help me out so I needed to create a new name. Not very creative... the LM is the initials of the town I live in (Lake Mills). At the time I was having a rou...

Can't comment on the UMFF, but the hole on the Hybrid should be there. It should have a little rubber flap that acts as a valve when it is under pressure and closes the hole. It opens when not under pressure to allow you to breath if the power goes out, etc. Many of us have had problems with the swi...

I had the tonsils yanked and a modified UUPP(left a small portion), along with turbinate reduction in December. My ENT convinced me that doing some work on the pallet would allow him to fold in the tonsil pockets and reduce the overall pain. He came highly recommended and I allowed him to do it. I t...

I also have been using it for a while. At first I thought the scents were a bit overpowering, but I found I was using too much. Now that I just use one or two drops it really is a pleasant, relaxing smell. The diffuser attaches to the humidifier so it allows for pleasant smells without putting anyth...
