Ok, a little update. I just got home from work and I dug out the Swift to see if I could get it to fit right. I found that I had the straps all wrong. I adjusted the top strap tighter, and that brought the strap away from the top of my ears, that alone was a big improvement. I had an idea for riging something up to wrap around the bottom strap in the back, and then come around to the front to hold the mask in one place, but that didnt work. I was going to stick some velcro on the strap right about where the word Swift is, and then make a strap to go around my neck, but I cant get the velcro to stick to the mask, so I will have to think of some other way. Wish me luck, I am going to give the Swift another shot tonight. Oh, I have played around with the different size pillows, and have found that the small ones work the best for me.

I got the large, medium, and the small. They told to start with the medium, so I did. I lasted 2 nights with the medium, and fought it the whole way. Switched to the small, and that seemed to work much better.
