Well, here's a "me too" guys. Just got my spare Autoset II from sammyc and it is great to have a spare! And I still have the Resmed Escape II that I got hosed for (pardon the pun) paying 4 times the direct mail price. Sooooo.... it comes to mind that it would be a good thing to put one in our family room/den where the TV is so that if I fall asleep while watching TV I don't wake up with skyrocketing blood pressure in a cold sweat, etc. But to be comfy I am now looking for a top notch nasal pillow type mask. I have tried the Swift LT and when my nose gets smooshed against the pillow the Swift LT either leaks or has the airflow cut off.

I am looking for the best darned nasal pillow mask out there. Suggestions?

P.S. I use a Mirage Activa LT Large Wide in bed and it fits well and is so very comfy. No problems with it. Now if I could just find a nasal pillow mask to match.

Torontocpapguy, perhaps you should start another thread. This topic is about pillows for your head, not pillow masks.
