Hi All, An update....... I raised all kinds of hell with my HMO (Kaiser) about their not being willing to allow me to try a different mask(s). Next thing you know I am referred to a sleep clinic in a different Kaiser facility. The tech was AWESOME! He actually had me bring my machine and mask to the...

Have you considered something like Padacheeks anti leak strap? http://www.padacheek.com/PAC_AntiLeak_Strap.html I have a friend that made sort of her own anti leak strap to attach at the nasal area because her main problem was leaks at the nasal bridge area. Poor quality image but I think you can g...

1) what kind of chinstrap do you use? Hi Sheriff, Actually, I used two different ones. The first was a CareForce Medical. I used the Velcrow to size it properly, had my wife stitch it and then taped it to the mask, because I was afraid it might come off the mask. Then it dawned on me that with it b...

I have tried Mirage Quattro, Quattro FX, Amara with similarly poor results. Quietus liners help somewhat, but not enough to get through the night. I welcome any ...

Thanks for the reply. Are there any other masks I should consider?

Hello everyone, I am a new CPAP user. I am having trouble finding a full face mask that works for me. I am prescribed a rather high pressure of 20/11. I have tried a Quattro FX mask as well as a Respironics Amara mask. Both leak air pretty bad no matter what I try. Mostly around the bridge of my nar...
