Re: Mattress for Side Sleepers

I am concerned about the weight of a water bed. I sleep upstairs in a log cabin, directly above my computer workstation. If the dam breaks, I will have serious catastrophe. What will a queen size waterbed weigh anyway? I haven't slept on a waterbed since I purchased one at a head shop in the early 1...

Re: Mattress for Side Sleepers

Mattress/Bed industry has gone freaking ridiculous with their pricing. No way I will shell out that much jack for a mattress.

Mattress for Side Sleepers

I have searched the web looking to answer the question "What is the best mattress for side sleepers?" . I realize that side sleeper mattress choice is highly subjective and and an individual preference. I would however like to hear opinions of our forum members.

Re: CPAP-How Long to Notice Improvement

Good advice from the others. You are in the right place. It took me approximately 100 days to turn the corner. After that I was still tweaking my machine. About a month ago and after 31 machine settings, I finally found the therapy settings that seem to work for now. I am now at 342 days on CPAP and...

Re: I give up!!

Re: newbie with Amara View mask

I read that the Amara is not a very popular mask. I have one. For me, the Amara created the worst nose bridge damage of any mask I have used. I quit using it after 2- 3 days.
