Re: keeping your mouth closed while sleeping

Re: Solution to Qauttro FX FF mask riding up into eyes.

Hi simply me,

Can you advise me how I should obtain the sport shirt material? Should I be looking for some kind of cotton shirt, polyester, wool, etc? What specific material do you use? Can it be obtained in a dry goods store?

Re: full face mask

Being a mouth breather all my life, I struggled with the Swift FX for two or three months complaining about the same problems you describe. The chin strap works most of the time but is such a pain to me. Along came the Quattro FX..... Sleep doc recommended I try a full face mask. He measured me in h...
