I've had enough of the Quattro, there I've said it!
I am as certain as I can be without scientific evidence, that I am breathing in CO2 from my Quattro mask. And it's killing me. My unscientific proof: I am a side sleeper...the CO2 from my nose goes downward when I exhale. To get to the air vent at the top of the mask the exhale needs to go up and pa...

Re: "Sleep number" Bed?
I'd say try one out before even considering purchasing a Sleep Number bed. My sister used to (past tense) have one in her guest bedroom. My husband and I hated it. It felt like there was some kind of bar running up the middle making it very uncomfortable to cuddle, make spoons, or roll near each oth...

Re: Air pressure in Quattro mask lighter?
After reading a couple additional threads on here, I am wondering if I am breathing in CO2 from the Quattro, as I am not waking up refreshed in the least. Is there any way to find out? Will the rat card have it on there?

Re: Marks on the Face
Dizzy, With the Quattro, I use the Remzzzs sometimes, but I also use the liner I got from Padacheek sometimes as well as my own homemade liners patterned after the Remzzzs but cut from old T-shirts. The Padacheek liner is nice. It's soft but durable. I find it a little warm in the summer, but I am b...

Re: Another post about using wipes on mask
I bought the citrus wipes online. I found I don't need a whole wipe to clean my mask, so I cut the wipes in half.

Re: Allergic reaction to ResMed Mirage Quattro mask
I have the padacheek mask liner and it helps, but when I want to wash the liner and let it rest I use the Remzzzs liners. Both options really do protect my sensitive skin. I took a Remzzs and traced it on cardboard. I then traced the pattern on one of my husband's old cotton T-shirts, and voila, now...

Re: Air pressure in Quattro mask lighter?
Thank you all for the reassurance. I do feel the air coming out steadily at the vent... I guess I am just genuinely shocked that I don't feel the air pressure anymore. Anyway, the Quattro is quickly becoming my number one mask. If I can't get the Liberty nasal pillows to stop leaking I am going to c...

Air pressure in Quattro mask lighter?
I've been using my Mirage Quattro mask for the past few nights because I still haven't been able to eradicate the leaks in the Liberty. The Quattro mask with either the permanent mask liner from ad, or disposable Remzzzs liners is not leaking. I've noticed with the Quattro the air pressure (my titra...

Next generation of masks?

Re: HELP! Mask Trouble
For awhile I was using the disposable Remzzzs mask liners to good effect with my Quattro, but when I still got watery eyes, I ordered a more permanent mask liner from Padacheek. It's great with preventing leaks and it is comfortable. The only I had to do was cut the opening a bit to allow more air i...

Re: newbie! help with mirage liberty full face! please

Re: newbie! help with mirage liberty full face! please
So now, I am looking at the Regenesis pillow because I agree that could have caused the leaking to recur.... Is there any advantage to getting the XL over the regular size????

Re: Watery eyes with the Quattro
Wow, Thank you all so much for sharing your years of collective wisdom. Newbies like me appreciate it so much, you have no idea. One by one I am going to go through your suggestions/tips. If I could only get the nasal pillows in the Liberty to stop leaking I wouldn't have to worry as much about this...
