Re: Neck Rash

I'm a bit late with this, but I simply slip a feminine hygene minipad under the strap that contacts my neck. It works very well, and stays in place all night. May look funny, but nobody sees me when I'm sleeping! I might add that my pressure is pretty high, 22/18, so I have to cinch down my headgear...

Re: Long sleep times

Thank you all for your responses! You've made me feel more normal! Its not a big problem, but it is a change in behavior. I do wake up refreshed and feel rested.

Re: FlexiFit 432 size question...

Thank you all for the speedy replies.

You've confirmed my suspicions, it was my understanding from the fitting instructions that the mask should fit under my chin. There is no way that can happen with size Small on my face!
