Such good ideas from you all regarding my last post on made-to-measure masks--and here I sit, still tired. I NEED A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP!!!!! Someone do something!!! Okay so maybe the next mask will be the charm for me. But you engineer types who have done the research and have the prototypes, please ...

Such good ideas from you all--and here I sit, complaining and tired. I NEED A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP!!!!! Someone do something!!! Okay so maybe the next mask will be the charm for me.

You have to do your research. That being said, for service and price I haven't been able to find better than cpap.com. Good people, really. Whatever you choose, make sure your decisions are informed ones. Good luck.

Some of us buy off-the-rack. Some of us are custom-fit types. How come no one (at least to my knowledge!) has thought of making cpap masks to fit the user. I mean really "manufacture", not just ribbon and bows, tape and elastic bands. Each of us has different needs, shaped faces, etc. If you read ov...

will check it out. thanks so much for taking the time to respond

I have been using cpap machine for 1 year. In that time I have tried different masks, types and styles. I finally settled on using one just over my nose and then moved to one with nose pillows. I think it was a SWIFT (?) Because it has straps on the face I found that even with the felt covers on tha...

Hi there, You have all been so helpful in the past: hope you can help me this time. I am using a Breeze mask. With some homemade adjustments, it is okay, not great, but okay. Kinda like wearing a hat on a stormy day; one strong wind and its gone! But anyway, seems that I am now developing strange sy...

Well, I had never participated in any forum before I found cpaptalk.com. I guess that misery needs company and so I logged on and asked for help. I am amazed by the responses I got in answer to my problems with my Breeze mask and the info. I needed on travel equipment. You all were really helpful as...

Thanks Craig; That was really helpful. What did you do re: battery? Do you recommend buying/renting one of those little cpap machines to travel with?

I hope there is someone out there who has flown overnight. Did you use your cpap in-flight? What extra equipment did you need? I really need help. We are flying to Thailand soon and I don't know what to do. Do I invest in one of those little machines? Will I be allowed to use it? What about plugging...

Hi Joy; I can't help you with all of this, but I do know from experience that that loud blowing sound happens when you breathe through your mouth. It may happen other times as well, that part I don't know. You can try it out while you are awake; see what happens. So much of this is so frustrating. G...

I am certainly no expert but I am sympathetic. Know thru my own experiences that sometimes the machine seems to have a life of its own when there is a leakage however minimal it might be. You might want to check that out. Good luck!

Can't figure out what happened but after writing out a very lengthy post yesterday, only the very beginning got posted after I hit submit. I'll try again. Am using Breathe mask that slips and slides around my head all night. I have adjusted every part and still the same issue. Further there is leaka...

Hi, new here but have been using CPAP machine for 1 year. Am having several issues right now and could use some input please. Have been using (happily) same machine, REMstarAuto, from the beginning but have tried several masks (unhappily). Right now I have the Breeze mask which is great in theory bu...
