heheh, good point, ozij. I hadn't thought about the "ouch" factor of a hose looking like a skyhook.

Maybe they need to flop the connector hose over to the off side for picture taking. Just don't show the connector hose at all after it leaves top of head.

The uninitiated wouldn't even wonder, "Where the heck is the connection end of the hose?"

CPAP users would know... "Well, it's gotta be hanging around somewhere."

if they made a custom mask---well then think about it---we would not have to buy new ones constantly----i think they don't even want custom masks---they don't want us to have software---why

Your right Rested Gal, I just assumed by the picture that it wouldn't serve a back sleeper. I do thank you for pointing out that it will. 2ndly, I want to make a comment here...just because. Every time I have seen a post by you, I read between the lines how wonderful a "carbon unit" you are! You have a way with words that calms the spirit. Every man should be so lucky to know such a soul OR to experience being your soulmate. Hey, it's what I'm feeling/experiencing right now.

On another level, I do believe that I will order that mask and give it a try. I currently am using the Swift Nasal II and love it. But, since I've got more money than time, I might as well try that one too.

Hans Rudolph makes the E2 DigiMask utilizing a digital photo. The problem Rested Gal mentioned remains (of having the photo taken in one position-the mask being made-and then in using it you change positions). The boney structure of your face would remain the same-so it might be better than other masks if you have an unusual bone structure as other masks are designed to fit a configuration based on common face structures.

I have not seen any posts here by anyone who has had one made and used it. The only posts I've read were by people who were intrigued but reluctant to spend the money to try one.
