Re: What is better Nasal Mask?
I'm a side/stomach sleeper and love the Opus 360. I also move around a lot at night (just ask me wife) and need to use a hose hanger at the head of the bed, otherwise I end up westling with the hose all night.

Keeping my mouth closed???
Is it possible to train yourself to keep your mouth closed at night? I’ve been using chin strap since I started a little over a year ago. I have yet to find a commercially available chin strap that really works for me. The best thing I’ve found is a home made strap made from wide elastic wrapped in ...

Re: liberty hybrid mask issues
HOw often does everyone replace the face piece around the mouth? I have been using my Liberty mask for about a month and it has started to leak in the middle of the night. It's not a huge leak usually just a small one on the side but it is really annoying at 3am. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: What's your daily ritual?
I'm with racefan. I turn off the machine, get up, rinse off the nasal pillow, shower and go. At night I wash my face, put in my mouth guard (for teeth grinding), put on chin strap and head gear, plug the hose in and go to sleep. On the weekend I give the nasal pillow a good washing and sometimes the...

Re: trouble breathing with swift lt mask
I had the same problem and I will second loosening the straps. Also, after fighting with it for about a week and feeling very frustrated, I discovered inside the pillow was an internal flap, cone thingy just like on the outside. I had them inside out and that was restricting the air flow. I have als...
