Nasal pillow leaking with apap peak pressure

I just purchased a S9 Autoset APAP machine 30 days ago. My pressure on my old cpap machine was 6, and never had any leak issues with any nasal mask. Now my peak pressure ranges from 10-14.

Re: S9 Autoset settings?

Thanks for all your input. My setting on my escape is set at 6. However my wife says sometimes I still snore through the night and wake up tired. This is the reason for my upgrade to the autoset. I also have insomnia and take ambien to get to sleep most nights.

While there is no more complaining from the wife of snoring or stop breathing/gasping for air throughout the night, I have not noticed a boost of energy as some people have described from getting a full nights rest. I have been told that some people have switche...
