Re: respironics mask nuance issues

you should register. that said, if you really like the mask and it isn't more than 3 months old, you could sew new velcro or some other simple fix.

Re: Stuffed Up at Bedtime, Need Help

I went through that and my doctor prescribed a steroid nose spray that worked after about 3 days. It worked great. Here's the catch, however. It's very addicting and your nose might plug up seriously within a week if you just stop. You get dependent on those sprays, but they do work. I weened off an...

I can honestly say I've never changed my mouth cushion, but I only wear it 30 days at most once or twice a year now because It's my vacation home mask, only . ...

Re: Aloha Pillows sounds like a harmonica!

I've had 3 Aloha's now and no less than 6 sets of pillows and have never has this happen. Call the manufacturer and have them walk you through whatever fix or replacement you need.

Re: Fed up with Bait and Switch

I'll bet if you call the manufacturer to help you they will tell you who sells honestly in your area. Resmed has a lot of pull because they have machines and can force the dealers to carry only their line. Tell your doctor to give you a prescription that says the Hybrid is medically necessary. The L...

Re: 3d printed cpap mask

So what you have is, basically, a Swift FX headgear with Breeze Pillows because you've made a new pillow holder for the hose. Great thinking.

Re: Newbie caught in a Windtunnel!

Respironics System One Auto CPAP and Humidifier is actually a good set up. It's got to be the mask. The 4 might be a ramp-up because that's normal breathing pressure and you must be hearing leaks. if your mask is leaking somewhere , it will sound like a windstorm. I wish I knew where you could go to...

Re: Dealing with my nose!

I know that this has been said a lot and it's one of the reasons I bought this mask, bit the Aloha pillow is great. You wear it very loose and it doesn't leak. The pillows are soft and don't seem to push against my nose and give the pig-nose at all and I hate the heck out of pig nose. It fits better...

Re: Best nose pillow for side sleeper?

For stomach and side sleeping, my first choice is the Aloha and my second would have to be the swift LT. You may want to look into a good cpap bed pillow too.

Re: AirFit p10 wear and tear

MY Aloha pillow still seal, but when they start to leak or give any indication that they could use a replacement, I'm boiling them. Did it with my Swifts and i'll do it with my Aloha. You should get an extra month or so from that. Even if It doesn't work, it was well worth changing to this mask.

Re: power outage at night?

What do you mean that the Aloha doesn't have an anti asphyxia valve? I finally find a dream mask and it's missing a valve? Did my swift airfit p10 have an anti asphyxia valve? I thought those things were just for full face masks in case the electric goes out. What's the deal ? Why can't I just open ...

new mask at half price?

I noticed on the hosts site that I could buy a head strap setup for the Aloha for $25.49 and my pillow for $19.99. Now that's only $45.48 for a new mask. Am I missing something or do we pay twice as much if we have to try all three pillows. Would we get the padding as well as the head strap? Why wou...
