I have been using my new SleepWeaver Advance fabric mask (bought from CPAP.COM) for about a week now and am getting good results plus it is more comfortable than my Activa LT with a gel-cushion mask. Think I am going to make the S-Weaver my primary mask. SO two questions. 1. What should be the replacement interval? Mfgr says 6 months. (Cost is not an issue for me because of insurance will cover future purchases.) 2. How often to clean? Mfgr package directions say every other day; mfgr web site says "as needed." I did the silicone mask 2 or 3 times a week because it made a big difference in leak rates. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

SleepWeaver Advance questions
Re: SleepWeaver Advance questions
I switched from the SW Advanced to the Élan years ago, but the same rules apply for me.
I like to replace the mask and headgear every 5-6 months since the Velcro seems to lose its grip by then, and the mask starts to be more prone to leaks.
Since I am such a germaphobe, I haven't determined the washing schedule yet because it seems to come after the replacement schedule for me.
Yes, if I drop food on the floor I follow the 5 second rule.
Bye the way you should look at the Élan next time. It is simply much more advanced than the advanced.

Re: SleepWeaver Advance questions
Whenever you need to.
It sounds smug, but everyone is different and cloth masks seem to make that more so.
I needed daily washing, but it took less time than brushing my teeth.
