Pillow Collapses..

Post by Sleepy Boy » Thu May 14, 2009 5:45 am

I've had my Swift Lt for a week. Last night the medium pillow collapsed, I fiddled with it for 20 Min. couldn't get the left side to open so I could breath through it. Next I got the large one and put that in. It seemed to be better than the Med. The thing is-do we go through one of these a week? Has anyone else had this happen? Poor quality stuff..
Thanks, Larry...

I think there are many variables on pillow life. I also have a Swift LT. My first one seemed to collapse (get soft) after about two months. Its replacement is 6 months in use now and is only now beginning to show signs of needing a new one.

Factors could be: cleaning? pressure? quality control in manufacturing?

FYI, there's a recent thread about this very topic: viewtopic/t41729/MIRAGE-SWIFT-LT-QUALIT ... 51209.html
Veni, vidi, Velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around.

Dx 11/07: AHI 107, central apnea, Cheyne Stokes respiration, moderate-severe O2 desats. (Simple OSA would be too easy. ;))

PR S1 ASV 950, DreamWear mask, F&P 150 humidifier, O2 @ 2L.
