I might have to look into that travel one, but I don't know how Sarah will like it, she is typically a fairly light sleeper.

Not sure about your insurance, but mine covered the machine and covers replacement filters/mask/hose about every 3 months. Mine also gave me the option to switch to a new mask (nose pillows in my case) since I didn't like my first one. The DME (durable medical equipment) supplier calls me every few months to ask if I want new supplies, which they ship to me.

Thanks, Pete.
