Building a little dam between the two of you with the bedding is quite effective;
especially with a bit of gentle tucking.

after seeing some of the F&P masks with their clip on diffusers, I've wondered about taking one of the resmed filters, and making a diffuser for the quattro... I just haven't gotten around to experimenting with it.
I have done this with my Amara View and it works quite well.
I am sure there will be some who will say that it will restrict the venting air and I will be dead by morning, but I have been using it this way for about a year ... and have no ill affects from it.

May see if I can make something creative to deflect the air

just make sure you are no restricting the air flow ... attach a portion of a filter LOOSELY by the sides .. do not tape over the filter, as that can restrict the airflow.

Air flow out of the vent is very important .. otherwise you will be re-breathing air .... not good
If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

I'll take that as your disclaimer
Thanks, I'll be very careful.

Air deflection modification to my Quattro FX using cardboard and micropore tape, worked nicely
