I love my buckwheat hull pillow from pur-sleep.com. I also have a Mirage Soft Gel, although my personal favorite is my Swift FX. I took a medium in the Soft Gel but I did not feel that it stretched out over time and it was very comfortable, but kind of heavy (especially after wearing a Swift FX for awhile). It did feel quite soft on the face after a few hours of wearing it, but just kind of bulky in comparison. A good mask to have in case our nares are uncomfortable or if we just need a change!

All the best,

I tested it out last night but decided not to sleep with it until the weekend, in case something goes wrong like huge leaks. The test was very successful, and the Mask Fit option on my S8 reported "****" which is great! It is heavy but comfortable. It's very strange NOT having the air go straight up the nose as with my Swift FX, but at the same time it's kind of nice. Feels like the pressure is lower (yes I changed the mask on the machine). The mask is very soft and seals quite well. If I were going to use it long-term, I would definitely want the Padacheek pad for the forehead.

I'm very pleased!
Sleep well and live better!
