Has anyone tried the Circadiance SleepWeave mask?

Post by beffyk » Sun Aug 22, 2010 7:24 pm

Hi there, has anyone out there tried the Circadiance SleepWeaver mask? And what do you think? It has just become available in Australia and I am looking at purchasing one depending on people's experiences with it. Thanks for any help I can get.

The Sleepweaver was my first mask, and I love how light and comfy it is. I think that was a BIG factor in getting my treatment off to a good start. There was a continual problem with leaks (though, to be fair, my machine doesn't have a setting for sleepweaver, so the leak rate probably wasn't accurate) and when I developed a respiratory infection with a terrible stuffy nose, the sleepweaver was no longer effective for me. Definitely worth a try, though!

Hmmm, that's an interesting point - do you think the respiratory infection/stuffy nose might be attributed to the balloon? I do know that I have had serious sinus infections and respiratory infections in the past from direct seal masks - was wondering if the inability to clean the balloon type thingy properly, might be a contributing factor????

Here is a link to more posts about the sleepweaver.

Most find that they have trouble with it leaking, but a few really seem to like it.

Carol will probably see your post and add the link she mentioned.

In the meantime, a good way to search for something if the "Search" button up at the top of the forum page doesn't get useful results is to do this:

Go to google.com

In Google's search box type these words:

sleepweaver mask site:cpaptalk.com

Be sure to use a colon and not put any spaces in the phrase, site:cpaptalk.com

I am sorry about that.

You will have to wade through them since it looks like there are several posts on it.

The respiratory infection had nothing to do with the mask, and everything to do with the rooms full of students I teach who come to school sick. This particular bug circulated through our campus for weeks. Fun.
