It was a thing of beauty.
Broad, sweeping strokes.....cutting a perfect French curves down each
side for the mask relief. Deep, no nonsense cuts for the shoulder cutout
and removed the top in a fileting motion that was akin to culinary art.

Carbonman, you are the Poet Laureate of cpaptalk. I love your musings and rants, not necessarily in that order of preference.

Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap + Hot Water to Shrink = RemZzzs Extended !

I always begrudge throwing them out and it is precisely because they get stretched into 'oversize'.

Thanks,I'll be trying out that tip!

Love the pillow --i made one on sewing machine-opened sides and shoved stuffin to center and sewed curves--did same for shoulder--now after seeing your pic carbonman i going to cut up my 4"mattress pad that never worked and make a couple--they really help to have the curves for the mask and shoulder and neck---AND YES RESTEDGAL--if taking 20 off a person comes with cpap--hook me up to two--you look fabulous--kept thinking there was something wonderful looking about you--more so than you were----------
