Re: Sleep Apnea Pillows

I have this pillow from http://www.contourliving.com ,bought it for $80 Can. at my sister's sleep center while visiting. Rests on top of your favorite pillow and works especially well with full face masks. http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r182/xccclusiv/Sleep/fb05d1b3.png Homemade,like Carbonman h...

I have a custom dental guard from a few years back (before CPAP) so I'll be interested to check this one out! Appreciate you jogging my ...

Re: Resmed™ S9 Climateline hose durability

An old post of mine from 2009,outlining the same problem with a standard ResMed hose attatched to an H3i humidifier. The Aussie Heated Hose has it beat hands down. http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r182/xccclusiv/Sleep/th_DSC01440.jpg Above is my cpap tubing with the left side tubing wall membrane ...

Re: The eternal camping question

If you only need it to last a couple nights for a cpap machine with no humidifier,it's going to work. The blower can operate on a modified sine wave. I have used mine for the very odd power outage wihout incident,purchasing the larger capacity model so it would have more grunt(CCA) to boost a vehicl...
