I was convinced, since I tended to breathe through my mouth before cpap that I needed a full face mask or a chin strap if using nasal pillows or mask. When I first got the machine, they were out of stock of chin straps, so I went home with a Quattro FX. (I didn't want to discover I needed a chin str...

I tried Moves.app for awhile but it started to kill my phone's battery. Since then I got a FitBit one and a FitBit Aria scale. Plugged them in to MyFitnessPal (logging calories) and RunKeeper (tracking walks beyond normal daily walking), and am now dropping weight using the basic principles of The H...

I'm a little over two weeks in, and it's going pretty well. No huge noticeable changes, but I feel like I'm sleeping pretty well, and I'm not struggling to cope with the machine overnight. I have a Quattro FX, and just got a Swift FX w/chin strap to try as well 3 nights ago. First night, used the Sw...

What kind of pil...

Do the "CPAP Pillows" really work? I'm new at this, about a week and a half. I haven't really had any issues using the machine or mask, and my stats seem to be pretty good. I don't really feel any different yet, although I didn't really feel "terrible" before being diagnosed either. Traditionally I'...

Neither of these have the awful forehead brace that many full-face masks have. The quattro fx does the best job of large leak reduction of any mask I've tried yet. I would also encourage using a PapCap to reduce puffed-out cheeks (blowfish syndrome) and to reduce mask torque. Good luck and sleep we...
