Well. I guess this means I might as well stop circling like a vulture...my beady eye always watching for a Headrest to be tossed on the floor where I can swoop down and snap it up at a discount to add to my stash. Darn.

Seriously... glad to hear that my favorite mask suits you so well, deerslayer, and that you're enjoying tummy sleeping again!

Did you lab rat your headrest or is it like it came out of the box? Looks like I'll have to make another little white jacket only for the headrest : )

If the headrest doesn't work out for me I'll donate it to your stash : )

Awww, that's so sweet of you, Gasp, but if it comes to that, there are others who need donated masks. I've got four or five Headrests in my stash now. I want to be sure to have enough of 'em to last me until I hit age 80. Stashed away for "just in case" the manufacturer were to ever stop making my fave of all time.

Hope it suits you well when you get one, gasp!

Amazingly the headrest worked for me as is no hanky panky needed. i did try the gum band thing just to try fit and that was too snug. like whats his name always said on the A team "You gotta love it when a plan comes together"

Hanky panky - LOL. I didn't need to lab rat the CL2 either - fit me right out of the 'box' (except for the little white jacket). It sure takes a long time to get a mask <tapping fingers and foot impatiently>.
