I wonder how long something like that would last....and how you would keep it clean. Hard to believe that could work and not leak air.

I have tried it, although I tried the first generation version, and I understand they have just recently come out with a new version. Hopefully, the new version is better than the original. Biggest problem with the original was the headgear, which was flimsy and easily tangled. Next problem was a seam right at the base of the nose which dug in and felt very uncomfortable. Third problem was the noise. My wife never complained about noisy masks until I brought the Sleepweaver home. Even I was bothered by the noise.
These problems may have been addressed in the new version, so I am not condemning it outright. It is a very interesting idea, and truly shows some "outside the box" thinking.

Very interesting. Maybe I'll give that a try if I don't need a new Swift LT the next time I can get a mask from my DME. I can't seem to tolerate the pressure of nasal masks on my cheeks/sinuses and maybe this would work out better.

There are several reviews on cpaptalk about this mask -- mainly not favorable for the same reasons that Daniel gave.
If you are interested go to www.cpaptalk.com and do a search on the sleepweaver mask.

We carry the newest version of this mask. I can't get it to seal. It blows air into my eyes. I also have not found a patient that it seals on. I have tried both methods: putting it on with the air on and with the air off. Neither works. You are supposed to be able to wash it in the washing machine though. And it is very soft.

I had never heard of this mask before this post. I was wondering how it would seal when I saw it though.

That's what I thought when I saw it "How would it seal?". I tried the cloth liners that people were talking about not too long ago that go in between your face and the mask. They were very small and hard to keep in place and I had to trim the nose area larger (and I have a normal sized nose). I couldn't stand the way the air blew ever so slightly all around the mask and made my face cold just where it touched. Also it caused more air (although gently and slight) to blow in my eyes and irritated them darn near causing an infection.
