Comfort Lite advice

Post by sleepyWI » Tue Jan 02, 2007 2:42 pm

My new comfort lite just arrived UPS today. I just tried it on with the large pillows and it feels great. I think I have it adjusted ok with no obvious leaks. Tonight will be the test though.

I know there are a couple of "fixes" out there for the CL. Can any CL devotees point me to any problems/fixes/advice?

On thing I have noticed already is that the forehead pad is a tad scratchy

Thanks for any advice!

Sure.

The first three topics at the link have pictures and descriptions of some "fixes."

Also, you may already have your main air hose routed overhead, but if not, that can help make almost any mask stay "put" better:

You can check out http://www.padacheek.com or pm padacheek(a forum member). She makes covers for the forehead pad. The padacheeks also seem to keep the forehead pad from sliding around.
