Re: Mask leaks around edges

My Quattro is so tight my head throbs, but if I loosen it at all it starts to leak. Maybe it's not the right mask for someone whose pressure is set at 18. Is there somewhere I can buy just the cushion? I keep it clean, but after 12 months it is probably worn out, huh?

Re: NEW UPDATE: Respironics FullLife Mask - Release on July 20

I just with someone at my DME (Landmark) actually used a mask, or knew anything about a mask, or knew how to fit a mask, or knew more than just how to point to the shelves and say 'Here's what we've got. Which one do you want?'.

Re: New FullLife CPAP Mask by Respironics

That is the reason to keep the mouth closed, not because it might cause a leak. Is this not true? I notice there is a mask that is for the mouth only li...

Re: New FullLife CPAP Mask by Respironics

I saw the blogspot. Very thorough and informative. Keep it up. I sleep on my side a lot and would like to know how the masks would perform that way. I am in my 4th year with a CPAP.

Re: bridge of my nose HURTS!

The bridge of my nose is dented and the skin stays irritated. I have my full-face Resmed so tight that my head throbs. If I loosen it even slightly it leaks. My pressure is 18 and I'm not overweight. I, too, am a mouth breather. I use a 2-inch wide chinstrap to keep it closed. This only adds to the ...
