Re: Apria Healthcare

Wow, it must a regional pot-luck in getting a bad experience.
I've been using Apria for 3+ years. Billed consistently on my 10%, no billing errors.
I've never had a mask or pillow replacement take longer than 5 business days to arrive.

Re: fx pillow

Normal pillows, I agree with the 30 days. Used them for 7 years with the Breeze system. They broke down much quicker than the Swift FX does. Maybe it's the quality or maybe the double wall. After 6 months, the Swift is much less 'firm' than it was in the beginning, but I don't encounter serious leak...
