Re: Pad-A-Cheek mask liner

thanks for the link. I was just looking at them, and will probably be ordering one. I hope it helps with the comfort issues I have been having, as the material of the cushion makes me uncomfortable with sticking and such. As I try to get comfortable I constantly find that I am twicthing my face and ...

Re: Sleeping with a recliner

I do not even know what a mask liner is. Never heard of them. A friend had suggested a thin trace of vaseline along the parts of the cushion that actually touch my face.

Re: Sleeping with a recliner

I will be buying a recliner in a week or so, and will most definitely post the results as they happen. Another question, though - as far as the comfort issues i am having with the full face mask, someone suggested to get a full face mask that does not have the piece that rests on your forehead, that...

Re: Sleeping with a recliner

i have the CPAP and software. But something is not woprking somewhere for me. I use a full face mask now, as suggested by a friend since I am a mouth-breather. But I am having comfort issues and cant seem to get settled down for a night of sleep. This is the third type of mask I have tried, the othe...

Mask Change? Then problems

After many months of so-so therapy with my mask, one of the pieces broke, it was the par of the whisp mask the covers my nose. i called the company i use and they sent me a new one, but the piece they sent was much too big and i could not get a proper seal. i called again and asked for a smaller pie...

Re: My Journey

Yes, sir, 7 months with the same mask. Just a few days ago it started feeling uncomfortable. Cushion is the word I was looking for. Yes, the cushion seems to be softer and looser and not feel right. Cushion it is! That, and Make sure I add my machine information to my profile when I get home tonight.

Re: My Journey

It took we a while (a few months) to get settled in. I tried a few routines until i found one that gave me a good 4-4 1/2 hours of good sleep each night. I have had the same mask for going on about 7 months now, give or take a week. So maybe I will just get a replacement mask of what I have and use ...

Re: My Journey

Could it be just that the piece that covers my nose has degraded, lost shape, or something like that? The rubber or plastic or whatever it is that makes the seal is not tight as it used to be, it has stretched or whatever. I will get the sinus flush and see how that helps air flow. Then I willsee wh...

Re: My Journey

Dreamer, thanks for the info. I will have to try one or both of those. I still think I am going to try a new type of mask. Either a full-face or nasal pillows. Not sure which. The least contact with my face the better, I think. I find myself constantly adjusting and playing, never finding it "just-r...
