I love cpap.com I have used them several times and because I live in Houston I can order one day and generally have the item the next. Their turn around time from order receipt to shipping is very quick. I will be ordering a machine soon.

Well, I don't know what to tell you. When I first got the Liberty (about 1 month ago) I thought I had finally found my dream mask. I was waking up several times to mess with the nose part of it but would go right back to sleep. Now, I am waking up ALOT because not only am I having a hard time keepin...

Not sure what to tell you about the dry mouth. I guess I am used to it. I have used a ff mask for years and breathe almost exclusively through my mouth so apparently over time you just get used to it. I LOVE the Liberty. I have had several nights this last week with 0.00 leaks and AHI's under 2. It ...

Usually we look at AI, AHI, HI, leakage rate and usage.

HELP! Need Advice for a Friend!!

Okay, I have been on CPAP for years and I was compliant all night since day one. I do, however, have a good friend who just found out she has sleep apnea. She started using the machine about 3 weeks ago and she only is compliant a couple of hours each night as she removes the mask (unconsciously) du...

925: Exactly which airline do you fly that allows you to use CPAP on board? Also, did you have to get special permission to use CPAP on board and how did you do it? Do you use a battery or AC machine on board? Just wondering as I fly overseas occassionally and was told by Continental that I absolute...

chipbutty: I don't really do anything special regarding fitting beyond changing the nasal pillows to a smaller size. I actually probably breathe through my mouth 90% of the time so I notice I open my mouth but I do not open it as wide as I used to when I used the full face mask. There is something a...

It is interesting that you both have problems with the mouth piece of the Liberty. I have to say that the mouth piece of mine does not leak at all. I do have occassional leaks from the nasal pillows but I switched from the large to the medium and I now tape them. Several nights I had 0.00 l/s leakag...

I found that I had problems with sores on the bridge of my nose because the mask my provider gave me was too small. You might want to look into that to see if that is the problem.

What kind of mask are you using? Could you be losing therapy because you are mouth breathing. An AHI of 10 does not seem that bad compared to a lot of people on here.

I agree with Mindy. Don't mean to pick a fight but I am glad to see Resmed offering knock offs. I just hope they are better because I generally prefer the Resmed masks. I think if there was some huge innovative new way to make these masks different that the manufactures would step up and do it. I be...

Emmett: All I can really do for you is agree that I too have had this problem. It seems that the Quattro is just too wide at the bridge of the nose. In my case, it would blow air up under my eyelids. I have switched to the Mirage Liberty, but have just traded one leaking problem for another. Though ...

I NEED HELP--MIRAGE LIBERTY

Okay, so I have had my Mirage Liberty Full Face Mask a week now. For the most part I love this mask. I do have one problem, however. Because I am a side sleeper, several times per night the nasal pillow will become slightly dislodged and start leaking. I lay there and try to get the pillow back in m...
