Cloth CPAP mask liners

I'm sure that many people here have had experience with both continuous and blow-out leaks as well as pressure marks on the face from various CPAP gear. The Annals of Internal Medicine reports that "many CPAP users never continue therapy beyond the first night...because they find sleeping with a mask on the face uncomfortable." Since compliance is linked to comfort, there is a new product on the market that seeks to increase compliance and comfort by decreasing leaks and skin irritation. The product is a cloth mask liner called RemZzzs. At first it might seem a little non-intuitive to put a cloth liner on a silicone mask cushion, however, the magic of RemZzzs is that it just works. For most people leaks are dramatically reduced and overall comfort is increased making a full-night's sleep on CPAP much more common. Has anyone here tried this product? What do you think about this?

What about you...are you a CPAP user?

I'm sorry, I feel rather silly that I asked if you were a CPAP user when clearly you are. I think it was just a case of information overload, as in today's world there are a million bits of information coming at us from everywhere. Once again, sorry for the silly oversight.

No worries, Nathan. Always pleased when folks try to build a better mouse trap for us CPAP users, irrespective of whether they use it themselves. Welcome again to the forum.
