Thanks Gerry - going to call Apria health care and see if I can order it. The leaking mask is driving me nuts. I am sure going to try to get this comfort care pad. Thanks!

Yes, I feel like I am having severe allergies and am taking Claritin daily - scratchy throat. The mask leaks constantly - according the the digital readout which I just figured out the "leak percentage" is 54%. I am going to call the equipment provider today and talk to them about it.
