Glad your first night went pretty well. It shouldn't take too long to get the bugs worked out so it's your favorite. One of my favorite features is that the vent flow doesn't hit anything--my husband is especially glad for that part too. It is definitely the most comfortable interface I've used.

Thanks Ester, My Swift mask bothered me more than my wife, she can sleep thru a thunder storm and not wake up, the new mask is definitly less noisy, did you modify yours? tried a couple of adjustments this afternoon, but not sleeping, so tonite I'll know if I accomplished anything.

good luck Hurricane. I use the Twilight along with a chin strap and a DIY mouthpiece. That's my magic combo .. it took me a LONG time to get it right.
Stick with it .. it's a great mask!

I have the swift mirage and I am mostly a back sleeper but occ. turn on my side which causes the swift to leak. My question about the twilight is since the tubing goes down the back of the head how do you sleep on your back?

The tubing is routed up to the top of your head, then left free.

As tangents said, "The tubing is routed up to the top of your head, then left free."

I've always thought it was a mistake for the makers of the Puritan Bennett Breeze and the makers of the Aura (now called Twilight NP) to advertise their masks with pictures of the connector hose hanging down the back of the head.

sleepyhead63, a lot of us rig up a hose hanger to let us turn over easily underneath the main air hose. That allows us to route the connector hose from a mask like the Twilight NP, Breeze, or ComfortLite2 upward...completely out of our way.

My headboard is rod iron and decorative. It has these perfectly sized curls and hooks in there, so I just poke my hose through one of those when I sleep.

Picture, please?

Mine is also a nice old iron bed. I just hook a scrunchie to it and run my hose through it. Works great.

Sure.

'nother picture, please?

Seriously...while I understand the setup you both are describing, pictures are always cool and interesting. Would help new users get more ideas on how to rig the main air hose above and out of the way. Especially useful to see how high you put it.

Wish I had a pretty wrought iron bed. Got my scrunchie hanging on a swivel plant hanger screwed to the wall. No headboard.

Gosh, that was fast, blarg! I was still typing while you were throwing the picture up there. Wow.

What a precious little piece of a mask you have laying on the bed.

(That's what's left of a deconstructed/decapitated Twilight NP, folks. Love it!! )

Yeah, the rest of the mask is two black things and another pad. That's it.

Here's my setup. Another little "precious mask".

Well, at least my plant hanger has some curlicues.

You all have beautiful setups. Linda, you even have a color coordinated hose cover...lovely!
