Yea!!!!!

That is so encouraging to hear. Good for you! After all my applauding of the Swift, and I am very grateful for it, I am trying a new interface tonight - the Headrest. I would like to be more comfortable on my side and I would like to get some of the "stuff" off my face. The Swift headgear has been marking my face something ridiculous. It is 4pm, I'm at work and I still have marks.

Based on my experience with the Swift I have already ordered the X-Large pillows from for the Headrest. Wish me luck.

David:

I read where you can get Foam toe tubes to insert over the sides of the Swift.

Also, Pad-a-cheek makes some nice covers to eliminate the marks.

I'll be interested to hear how the Headrest goes.

DO you get any rainout with your Swift or exhaust noises?

I have ordered the Padacheek and I'll give them a try. I am sure I am not done with the Swift just looking for decent swaps.

I do not get rainout with the Swift, at least not to the point it disturbs me at all. I may get an occasional drop. It will be interesting to see if the Headrest does this to me as it has done to others.

It is not just the marks but having the "stuff" on the face. The Swift is so much better than any nasal mask I have tried but, with a chin strap, it is still so much "stuff".

I am going to try to train my tongue and perhaps taping to get away from the strap as well.

Good Luck, I hope it continues to work well for you.

I've got a chin-strap on order because my mouth opens or my tongue leaks and my cheeks puff out and then it pops out my mouth.

When will this get easy? LOL
