Buckwheat Husk Pillow

Don't use a pillow for back sleeping, but have a small buckwheat husk pillow for side sleeping. This pillow is a little noisy but is fits perfectly and is cool for summer use.

I have a rather large nose but the IQ works for me, it took several nights to get it adjusted right. My biggest problem was tickling of my nose, but I got used to it and now use the IQ as my travel mask and for afternoon naps. I have the holeycap and really like the adjustment variations that are po...

Finally! I'm qualified to vote here. Have one night under my belt with the Twilight NT. The headgear fits me perfectly, only had to make one pillows positioning adjustment after getting into bed. The respiration noises were a little different but didn't stop me from going right to sleep. My only con...

I wondered if the ComfortLite 2 headgear would work....


birdahell:

I wondered the same thing, and it does! After several hours of filing drilling and liberal use of JB Weld I have a ComfortLite2 that uses Puritan Bennett pillows.

Adams circuit??

What is Adams circuit?

Is it by any chance the Puritan Bennett ADAM, as far as I know the (original nasal pillows).

What's up with AEIOmed?

I'm confused!! Everest?? Aura?? NOW PolarisTR??????? Can all these name changes really help them? Have they shot themselves in the foot? I've been saving up for one of their battery powered machines, but if Invacare is now their exclusive distributer will it mean that cpap.com might stop carrying th...

After making the elbow/swivel modification and removing most of the play between the headgear cranial plate and the adjustment mechanism frame, (using card stock shims), was able to get one good nights use. However the next night the pillows leaked and I was unable to get it to stop, so back to the ...

In ten plus years I have owned four flow generators from three different manufacturers(two Respironics). None of them gave me any trouble. So, I have no experience in dealing with repairs. My experience is that the machines I owned were 100% reliable, they didn't rust, bust or collect dust.

A Work in Progress

Still tweaking the CL2. The first thing that interfered with pleasant treatment was the swivel elbow, changed to a straight swivel and was able to get my feet back on the bed. So far, have gotten a full nights sleep only when using the simple seal. On two occasions I started the night with the pillo...

ResMed Band! are you a member?

Swift: With the large pillows I got a nice whistle. Found that the medium pillows fit better but no whistling. Activa: Woke up this morning to what sounded like a saxophone beginner. Found a loose cushion clip, must have pushed the mask into the pillow pretty hard. Don't recall any sound being repor...

For sure the Active MUST be assembled properly with particular attention payed to the seating of the cushion and it's clip. If you hold the frame and flick your wrist just right you can unlatch the clip and the cushion will fall out. I suppose that if a person has no manual dexterity it might well b...
