bedding, cold nights

Hi Folks,
From all around the world, in all kind of climates, What is the best system that tolerates having the bedding pulled up over your head???

Probably, the Aeiomed (Aura) Headrest mask is the answer......its exhaust blows "straight up"...toward the headboard....and the hose comes in from the headboard area...so, the covers can be pulled up....almost over your head.

I use the Headrest also, but I would think the the only consideration is to not block the vents on the mask. Since the air source is at the machine, theoretically one could cover their head wearing any mask as long as it vents freely.

Thanks, unfortunately I have to use a full face mask. I was hoping that there were FF masks with an exhaust hose or something. Either that or CPAP machines that didn't go amok when the exhaust was covered with a sheet or thermal blanket. Well, maybe someday.

Thanks again,
