[quote="dkeat"]Hi Rested Girl

I am following this with some interest myself. I have had trouble with the Ultra Mirage FF mask due to pressure on the bridge of my nose. I see that this mask goes over the nose and would also have contact with the bridge of the nose. Is this probably something I should avoid, in your opinion?

Thanks TXKajun. You are a lucky fellow to have such luck with masks. I was just curious about the wallet story. Is that a joke or were you being serious? That must be one hell of a wad you carry around in your wallet!

David,

If he's serious, I am having the urge to divorce my husband and make real good friends with TXK...

Yep, David, I'm very serious about moving the wallet helping my neck. I work at a desk most of the time and apparently it was throwing off my sitting posture enough to cause pain in the left side of my neck. Unfortunately, Lori, about the only things I carry around in my wallet are CC receipts, scratch paper with phone numbers and notes, insurance cards, hunting license, etc. Ahhh, if only it WAS $$$!!

David, the DreamFit is an absolutely TINY mask! On me, it goes maybe halfway up between tip of nose and my eyes. It's maybe 2" X 2" triangle. Positively teeny. There is a piece that goes up between the eyes and has a forehead rest kind of sort of similar to the UltraMirage. The hose goes up between the eyes and over the head. There is a place on the right side of the headband to hook the hose, but I just let mine stay loose, looped over my headboard. That way I can turn on either side and not get tangled or have to lay on the hose if I'm on my right side. Also, I didn't try the mask fitting guide on cpap.com. I went in and looked at one at my DME's. It fit great.
Yes I should have added to my review that the dreamfit mask is so light, comfortable and small I have accidentally buried my head into the pillow and block the exhaust port without knowing or discomfort. I woke up and said to myself, "the air is kind of stale" I just turn over and went back to sleep. The other mask feels like wearing a shot-put and it sinks and keeps on sinking into the pillow regardless on what I want.
