OMG, I can't draw Ginny.  However, I'm going to try to upload a file I just did in Paint which shows the pillows so you can see how the face hangs over the edge of the top one, I "hope"

Well, you have given me renewed "hope"!   I have a CPAP contour pillow but don't like it.  Will be on the lookout for yours!  YOu need to draw me a picture though of your pillow arrangement!  :) Will your pillow be out soon? Now my anxiety level has gone back down with my sense of possible solution to this problem~  Thanks~

That drawing made sense.  Much like a CPAP pillow.  The problem with the contour one (for me, anyway) is it is a little too firm.  I love my down & feather pillow.  I miss it!  Happy Easter!

Glad it made sense to you.  I was advised not to take further studies in art at school LOL.  The contour pillow which you tried I found was the worst of all the 4 I tried.  Sorry, forgot to answer your question about mine...... it's in the early stages of manufacturer so I doubt if it'll be soon (nothing gets done quick these days).  You enjoy your feather pillow for now, but try putting a flat one underneath so you're not too high (that's for any mask, not just the Fitlife).

Happy Easter to you too :)

Hi Louise, Do you use eye gell? or lubricating drops? I have found both to be helpful .Good Sleep,Chris

Do you have alot of air movement in your eyes? I have severe dry eyes and wonder about the extra air irritating them.

Wouldn't a flat pillow underneath make the feather/down pillow higher?

What I meant was, I don't put a thick pillow underneath as 2 pillows makes me too high, so I use a thinner one underneath.  It's all a matter of preference though.

Hi Chris, I do used a night time ointment. I does help, but I am still struggling with the discomfort. It's a work in progress!

I use the Fit Life Total Face Mask and have been for a bit over a year.  I find it very comfortable and I usually have no, or minimal leaks.  I wear the large size and find the headgear a bit large so I wear a thin kufi on the crown of my head to take up the slack.  Works well for me.  I replace it every three months as it is a one piece mask and I find the seal is better when it is newer.  I like to keep my mask in tip top condition.  I used to use the quatttro, but it broke down the bridge of my nose, still have the scar.  The Fit Life worked for me up to pressures of 20, higher than that I found I had to do a lot of adjusting during the night.  I am able to sleep on my side with it.  (Sorry, just realized you were talking about the FFM- I'll leave this anyway).
