This thread makes me glad I chose the Remstar Auto. It is quiet and comfortable, and I love Cflex. My wife and I always have a fan on all night and have never noticed the Remstar. You might try a fan just for the background noise. Good luck

During the conversation I raised the issue of user access to therapy details, and questionned why they did not produce an "Encore Lite" that was specifically directed at end-users. He said that they had discussed it internally, but it is way down on their list of priorities. I really don't understa...

I suffered from reflux and took medication daily. I continued the medication for two weekd after starting cpap. I haven't had reflux for six weeks now and no longer require any medication. Keep trying cpap seems to cure reflux for many.

All night every night 6.5 - 7 hours. Any time I nap, I love a weekend power nap to recharge. My naps seem to restore much more energy than the regular overnights, but it's all good.

Lori, Not only does this hold the hose out of the way, I've finally tried the toe cushions. When I ran to CVS last night to address what everyone is suggesting might be mouth leaks with my leakage report number being higher than it should be, I bought these foam "toe bandages," I believe they're cal...

I am still a newbie so not much experience, that said in this weather I never use the heat just passive humidity. Much more comfortable, but I've always wondered if I'm missing something. I hope you get the pros to respond, then we'll all know.

I used this until I tried the Resmed Swift. It's still my second favorite mask interface behind the swift. I'm a side sleeper and it did not leak much for me. There are probably others with a different experience, mask fits are a very individual preference.
