DoriC, I don't remember any brand. There might be a manufacturer's name on that tag that I haven't removed by penalty of law, but whatever packaging the pillow came in is long gone. I just remember looking on the shelf for one I liked.

I've been gasping also, using a mirage FX. Went for a 6 month check up today and my oxygen was 93. They are doing a test - have to wear the finger thingie all night.
If it comes back positive, I will have o2 hooked up to my cpap.

Do you have lung or heart dysfunction?

Your gasping is possibly a problem with your CPAP settings. If you want to make sure your settings are correct and your CPAP therapy is working well, then register for the forum, fill out your equipment profile and start a new post explaining your current situation.
