Well, I realize you said "never mind" if I never tried the Breeze, but I find it hard to pass up an opportunity to provide further clarification.

Two of the main reasons I joined this Forum were to "take the pulse" of the xPAP community as to what was new, improved, more comfortable, etc., and to provide some of the newbies with the benefit of my experiences, and make their lives a little less miserable, and provide hope for the future.

Having said that, I found so many variations in likes and dislikes for the xPAP interfaces, I have pretty much decided to stay with what has worked for me for 2+ years.

Of course, I will continue to keep an open mind as further improvements come along, but I'm just not the type to constantly keep looking for the "holy grail" of interfaces since mine has served me so well. I'll let others here do that, and then evaluate what they have to say.

Maybe someday I'll actually feel that the design improvements and kudos among the majority are sufficient enough to try something new.

Thanks for the reply. Trust me, anyone who can vouch for being satisfied with a mask for 2 years is definitely providing hope for the future!
Unfortunately, I am the type to constantly keep looking for the "holy grail" of interfaces. So I just ordered the Adam Circuit from cpap.com. It looks a lot like the Breeze, but without that pesky hard thing in the back of the head, which is one of my dislikes about the Breeze for those occasions when I find myself sleeping on my back. Besides, searching for this holy grail is easy compared to facing insulting Frenchmen, battling a killer rabbit or being brutally murdered by a bridge because I'm unsure of my favorite color.

p.s. I'm not insane-- well, not completely-- just remembering the Monty Python movie.

Thanks.

I have found that the best FF mask for side sleepers is the Resmed Mirage Series 2. I have the Ultra Mirage too but the forehead support bar constantly gets pushed by my pillow causing mask leaks. Anyone know of a better FF mask for side sleepers?

For the past year as a consistant side slepper I have succesffully been using the a Comfort Gel with out any difficulty, leakage or discomfort.

Thanks for the laugh, Guest, and bringing back memories of those zany Monty Python movies. Their sense of humor matches mine in so many ways I, too, have doubted my sanity at times...lol.

Good luck with the Adam Circuit, and enjoy the fact that you can roll on your back without anything poking your head.
