Hiya Gin! Good to "see" you.

I guess you've read that the Headrest mask is no longer being manufactured.

I've accumulated a lot of them over the years...stashing them back "just in case." Got enough to last me well until age 80, I hope.

Anyway, a FF mask that I tried recently and surprisingly found to be the most comfortable FF I've tried yet is the FitLife Total Face mask by Respironics.

It's not perfect, and does spring an occasional leak here and there for me, but nothing like the leak-fests and/or annoying pressure on side of face that any other FF mask I've tried did. Could sleep on my sides fine with it. Dunno how it would be for your preferred tummy sleeping.

Headrest nasal pillows and taped mouth are still my comfy favorite. But on the rare occasions I need to use a FF mask, the FitLife is what I reach for. Again surprisingly, I don't feel any air blowing into my eyes with it. No sensation of that at all, oddly enough. But I don't think I'd try to watch tv or read a book wearing that bubble over my face. "Just in case."

Wow, I would have never guessed you'd try and like that one, RG. That looks interesting. I'll check into that one, too.

I'd read on here months back that the Headrest wasn't being manufactured anymore... but then it looked like it was just changing hands again. It is in fact no longer being made. Oh man. That stinks. Guess I'll have to try the Swift for her next... nothing will ever compare, though.
