I sleep on my back, I just lay the hose on my chest and I can easily flip to my sides as i have plenty of hose and i have never pulled the CPAP off the dresser. However I did pull h...

Actually, Removing the piece between the pillows seems to have cured my problems. I tried the rubber bands but the angle apparently wasn't my problem. Last night I cut out the piece between the pillows, which allowed the pillows to move and they sealed right up in my nose and didn't leak a single ti...

Thanks everyone for the responses. I wound up working until after midnight and was simply too tired to fool with it last night and just resorted to using my other mask. I will try all the suggestions tonight and report back the results.

Thanks,
Chuck

I have tried all different sizes and the only way I can seem to stop the nasal leaks is to adjust the straps to where they are so tight it hurts to have the mask...

I called the 800 # and was told that new headgear was going to be available in 5 weeks and that it would be available through Teleflex. I asked if the...
