Thanks. One less mystery of life to ponder.

I've been using Resmed F20 full face cushions (silicone) for about a year and have to admit I just noticed these straps inside the seal. Any idea what purpose they serve? It looks like something could slide through but for what I don't know.

I am also wondering if it is the replacement tube/short tube replacement elbow, because I notice that air is blowing OUT from it. I don't have the mask fitting so loose that I can't get a good fit/seal, so I'm not sure what the problem is. When I've used anything else, I've never noticed air coming ...

I've been using a CPAP device for approximately a year-and-a-half, and since the first night until now, I usually average less than 1 events per hour. Not only that, and much to my wife's delight, I have not snored once while using a CPAP device. I'v tried a full face, nasal pillows, and nasal masks...

Have you found your mask model on YouTube and watched some videos about fitting and adjusting? No I have not but will check that out. I've watched videos on the ResMed site for fitting and that has worked for the most part. It's just that sometimes the P10 nasal pillows can irritate right inside on...

I used the airfit N-20. I had a lot of leaks at first but instead of going up a size I went down a size and it worked for me. My leaks are usually under 10. At times I've tried switching from the P10 Medium to Large, and more recently the N20 from Medium to Large. After I receive the items I ordere...

Thank you. I just put in an order for both my P10 and N20, and am looking forward to improvements in fit, comfort, and seal.

Thanks for the web site recommendation. I see many accessories I'd like to try, such as Nasal N Mask Liner, P10 Barrel Cozy, and strap/neck pads. Any I should steer away from? I am particularly interested in strap/neck pads that allow me to comfortably make the straps tighter, to reduce air leaks. I...

I've been using the Air Fit P10 nasal pillows since I began using a CPAP device almost a year ago (AirSense 10 Response) . It has worked very well for the most part, although at times I have to pull it off for a second or two. Occasionally I will experience irritation just inside my nostrils and hav...

wife is normally binge watching some Netflix series at night. Could be worse. Hallmark channel seems to be my wife's drug of choice. A husband's fate worse than death. :lol: Actually if I come to bed and my wife is still watching TV, I put on my CPAP mask and eye mask. And if the sound bothers me, ...

I typically stay up late(r) on weekend nights, watching movies in my living room. To probably no one's surprise, at my age (just turned 65) I often fall asleep on my couch or recliner. I then wake up around midnight or one am, then go of to bed and with my CPAP device and have a good night's rest. ...

No using CPAP in the bathroom, though. It's a rule. @OP: Only problem I see with the living-room-tv idea is that you'd have to wear the mask the whole time, since you never know when you might nod off. Hopefully, after more time on PAP and your cleaning up your sleep hygiene (a real term to Google,...

No using CPAP in the bathroom, though. It's a rule. Well, maybe not a "rule" rule, but still. 'specially after YOU'VE been in there. WOAH!!!!! https://youtu.be/GUfS_2UGftg @OP: Only problem I see with the living-room-tv idea is that you'd have to wear the mask the whole time, since you never know w...

Lots of people use their Cpap in the den, living rm, even tents (with a battery) if they can't be in their bedrooms... the idea is to NOT sleep without it, so if at all practical, use one.

Excellent response, just what I was looking for. Thank you.

My curiosity is over the possible health benefits of using a CPAP device while in the living room,

CPAPs are just as effective in the living room as in the bedroom.

What a revelation
