The Eliminator collar was not quite high enough for me. So you take a washcloth, roll it tight & attach the ends with rubber bands then place underneath collar. Attach with 3 rubber bands. (roll towel for your specific height). It fills in the gap between the collar & your upper chest.
The rubber bands dig in the collar so you don't feel them.

I love *everything* about the P10 (I used it for about 2 years), except it stopped venting. I'm trying to go back to the P10 (because it is so minimalist, and the headgear is divine), and am hoping that by cleaning it more often it'll not stop diffusing.
Hi, am very interested in the modification you made to the P10 to enable the use of the Brevida head gear. Can you explain how you attached the head gear to the P10 frame? i have looked at the picture you posted and examined both the P10 and the brevida and cannot work out how to make the attachment.
Thanks in anticipation.

I call it ''The Gregger'' It's is idea!

LOL, glad it worked for you. It's funny you mention it...I happened to have stayed at a hotel in Cleveland this weekend, and accidentally left my Eliminator Series Sleep Cushion behind. It was getting a bit worn anyway so this gave me an excuse to spend the big $20 on a new one. Once again I will be asking my wife to replace the "fake Velcro" with "real Velcro" on the fastening strap with her sewing machine (can also be done with hot glue). So last night I rolled up TWO washclothes with rubber bands to take its place! (Only issue being, if you roll to the side it rolls away, too.)
Thanks for the very explicit instructions on your mod to the P10 headgear. Will consider giving "The Snorybob" a try!
I just switched to the new P30i. It is similar to the P10 pillows but the hose hook up is at the top of the head. The strap part is more substantial than the P10. It non-intrusive venting similar to the P10 but via a different, better? mechanism that can be cleaned.
What I don't like about it is there is no short hose. Since I use a hose cover to prevent cat bites, the long hose seems heavy on my head when I first lay down. Also I sometimes get a "Darth Vader" breathing noise when I first lay down, but is gone by the morning.

I'm intrigued. Is the pillow set (clips into the mask) the same one used for the P10? I like that one.
I agree, the short hose is nifty but probably presumed "unnecessary" for a top-connecting hose.
I always liked the top connecting hose on my Dreamwear masks, but I have to say, now that I'm "hooked" on the P10 I don't mind the front connection, due to the short hose set-up.
