Hi everyone,

New to the board. I've had the SleepWeaver for about a week now. I would recommend this mask to anyone who has sensitive skin. Mine is super sensitive and I'm always breaking out with acne, and my nose is always so raw from the traditional masks. I'd get so sore that I would end up unknowingly taking my mask off in the middle of the night and throwing it on the floor.
At least so far, I am still having issues with a good seal. Seems like every time I budge an inch, I need to mess with it again to seal it. I'm hoping this is just an issue of getting used to how it fits rather than a poor design because it is pretty annoying. But completely worth it to me for the comfort factor. I haven't taken it off in the middle of the night and have been extremely comfortable. The mask leaves absolutely no marks on me by morning. The straps are another story. Very heavy marks, but it doesn't hurt or anything.
Also, my husband says it is louder than my other mask. I think he is hearing the hissing of the vented air against my pillow when I lay on my side. It was easier to keep that noise to a minimum with the vent being down lower on the plastic piece rather than on this one since it is right on the mask through the little vent holes.
In short....some definite cons and takes a little getting used to because it is so different, but super comfortable!!!

It is my understanding that the new version of the Dreamweaver is better than the earlier version.

Airflow noise against nearby object is definitely a problem with some interfaces.

Look at what http://www.cpapman.com does with the ADAMS pillows interface for one possible solution.

For sealing, look at pillows such as PAPillow to reduce sideways pressure on interface. (I use that pillow, fairly good but you should buy spare covers and will have to restuff it as the material packs down.
