Johnny,

The mask sizing guide has got to be the most comprehensive, user friendly mask fitting guide out there... online or offline. It will be an invaluable resource for cpap users.

This whole site is an invaluable tool for cpap users. I'd've given up a long time ago without the info and support here.

Johnny, you do an AWESOME job with this site!

THANK YOU!

Excellent addition to the wonderful services cpap.com provides online buyers!!

In the link to masks that might fit the person, I'd offer the Breeze with Medium and Large pillows instead of the Breeze with "Small and Medium". I've got a feeling that anyone who doesn't use Medium would be more likely to need "Large" rather than "Small".

Great pictures. Easy to follow the measurement instructions. Thanks for providing that!

Great idea.

Could you add a choice of the measurement scale - so that people could measure in centimeters, and get the same service?

Thanks,
O.

The one thing I would like to see added to the comparisons/descriptions of the different masks, would be the direction/location of the vent, and recommendations by consumers (US) on the problems with the masks and whether recommended for side sleeping, back, face down, or more than one sleeping position. I think knowing those things would give a person a much more informed and happier decision when ordering a mask. Also tips like be sure to wear the straps loose.

In other words in the (InStore Comments section) the real skinny, not the one the manufacturers hype.

To jump on the suggestion bandwagon ANd keeping Janelle's suggestion I would think a "User ratings/review" type section for each item would accomplish that and really give the pro's and cons from the CPAP users point of view.
