I have no information about what would be good for equipment in Australia, but I do want to say Image

You've come to the right place for helpful information. Good luck with getting the equipment your husband needs. Do stay around the site and ask any other questions you have. Finding the right combo can be a challenge but there are a ton of suggestions and friendly people to chip in advice.

We have several Aussie's here: DSM, Bill Bolton, AussieGrouch, I can think of off the top of my head. You might try starting a new thread w/a subject line such as Fellow Aussie Needs Help or some such to catch the attention of your fellow Aussies.

You could also do an Author Search to bring up posts by them and thus be able to PM them.

The St John of God sleep clinic provided me with a helpful service. Through them I was able to trial several masks over a six week period for a small covering fee.

I am very pleased I did my homework here though.

good luck

Slinky,

Don't forget that Blarg is an Aussie, now, too!

Good luck, Oh-so-tired. Hope you start getting some much needed rest.
