Quattro FFM to Quattro FX FFM?
Quattro FFM to Quattro FX FFM?
Looking for some input from those who have used both. It's for my wife who deals poorly with wearing the mask at all. She will actually go a few days occasionally without wearing it at all; and she calls me hardheaded! Only when she again starts to feel like s--t does she start wearing it again. At least she wears it 100% when we travel.

do like i did. buy a little recording pulse oximeter and record her overnight without the cpap. next morning show her how much her o2 was dropping overnight. it's eye opening.

Re: Quattro FFM to Quattro FX FFM?
I have used both. Initially, the FX seems lighter, less obtrusive, and more comfortable than the regular Quattro FFM. However, for me an active side/back sleeper, the Quattro FX FFM was far more prone to leak than the Quattro FFM. After a couple months of trying with the FX, I went back to the straight Quattro.
