Pillows collapsing

Post by dusty0318 » Sat May 14, 2011 8:07 pm

My pillows have started collapsing on me. Scary all of a sudden not being able to breathe. And this set is less than a week old. Any tricks for this?

Dusty,

I'd contact the DME immediately concerning the pillows wearing out after only a week of use. It really sounds like you got a bad pair. See if they'll give you a replacement pair for free. It's worth a shot after all.

You are using a Liberty mask. Why is is scary? Are you not able to breathe through your mouth?
