Re: Hating My New Autosense 10

I also had a stuffy feeling with the A10. I turned the temperature down on the climateline to the same temperature as my room at night. That was the biggest thing that got away from the 'sauna' feeling. That also caused me to turn down the temperature on the humidifier, as I was going to get rainout...

Re: Dream Wear Mask

I use it. You can dislodge the nasal cushion rolling on your side. I think it's because there's nothing protruding into the nostrils. I solved it by tightening the straps just slightly, until it quit happening.

I didn't tighten them a lot, and can't really notice any difference, comfort-wise.

Re: Dreamweaver Vs Tap Pap

I've also got a deviated septum and find it difficult to use nasal pillows. I'm currently using the DreamWear, and find the mask extremely comfortable. No problems getting a seal, very secure for side sleeping. Main issue I had was if congested on one side and the mask wasn't properly positioned the...

Re: Help, no short hose with DreamWear - can't use hose hanger

I ditched my hose hanger because I found it was providing no benefit with the way the hose attaches to the DreamWear at the top of the head. This mask is the best mask I've used yet. It is super comfortable, easiest to change sides/back that I've used since the ComfortLite2, and my AHI has dropped f...

Re: Invalid SD card, erase card data? Yes No

My sister has the same problem with her S9, but only when the S9 is unplugged. She's taken to removing the SD card before unplugging the machine. Still has issues if the power goes out.

Re: DreamWear air flow

Struggled with the DreamWear mask for a while due to feelings of restricted airflow. This was worse when one side of my sinuses was congested (and worst when the wide-side of my deviated septum was congested). The DreamWear has a triangular opening that covers both nostrils. If one side is congested...

Re: Did you name your breathing machine?

I don't have a name for my device, but I referred to my Airsense 10 for Her as my female sleep aid device.

I never thought that the nose pillows may be too small. I am trying tonight!
How did that work out for you?

Re: DreamWear air flow

A possibility might be that you don't have the opening lined up precisely under your nostrils, so the effective opening might be reduced. Using this mask, I have once or twice found the cushion down a little toward my lip, and if I rotate it toward the end of my nose the airflow seems to increase.

Re: DreamWear air flow

What size nasal mask were you using? Large has a larger opening than the medium which has a larger opening that the small. That can have an impact.

Re: Help! I still dont have a mask that works!

TO Pugsy. The mask shoves the nasal pillows up my nose. I loosened them last night, but no matter what, it shoves them up my nose. Its the design I think. I am using small nasal pillows too. If I pull mask down a little the pain is relieved and there are no leaks, but there is no way to keep it dow...
