robysue1: Your notion of the Phillips/Respironics cushion is wrong. It is a single piece with wide air slot, no divider. Its limitation for many people is that the smaller of its two dimensions is not large enough for long nostrils. (It comes in a wider version - MW - for about 10% of the US populat...

I had to go back to the straight strap, which is available from aftermarket sources. I tried medicated skin creme but it feels like moisture in my nose. (It wold have benefit of reducing rawness which sometimes happens due to overtightening. Much fiddling with cushion is needed, tipping it up a bit ...

robysue1;

Why is sleeping on your left side much better for reducing burping than on your right side?

'chunkyfrog' The Question is what interface design suits an individual's face. I have tried many. The best for me is Respironics nostrils cushion, latest incarnation is in its Dreamwear design which has air passage tube forming the headgear, one leg down each side of face. It is a derivative of the ...

When viewing your own post there should be a symbol at top right to Edit (such as a pen).

Nothing more from Phillips nor on vendor websites I checked. I tried the pillows version of Dreamwear because I ended up with the wrong product from SleepEh, not good. So I continue to buy spare L cushions, price of fitpacks way up. With the L I have to fiddle a lot to ensure seal at each end of nos...

'Chunky Frog':
No.
Only one thread on that subject by me.

Another thread by me is on filters for Remstar legacy machines.


Zonker:
Huh?
You are pointing back to this thread.

Respironics Dreamwear cushion interface appears to be in short supply. And spare cushions too except for Small size. That's the best interface I've tried, of many. I do want an XL cushion, I've popped the request into Phillips with pointer that many people have long nostrils, I guess as many as have...

Fine filters 1005945 are hard to find from dealers. cpapoutlet.ca falsely claims filter is same as M series (looks similar but is much different size). I guess that's what eBay is for, any available through it. So I bought enough to lasts the life of my legacy machines. Those machines be Auto, Pro, ...

"mp6617 ' Good experimentation work. For nose stuffiness you might try Vicks VapORub when up in the night, blowing your nose a few times after inhaling it. (It is confusingly named 'rub' because the original notion of its use was to apply to chest so vapours would be inhaled. I just put a bit in eac...

As usual, I point out that finding an interface with good fit can be challenging, try to find a provider who studies, learns, and offers a wide selection. (Yes, beyond that may take some getting accustomed to something on your face and the air pressure plus exhalation resistance. Some people have lo...

Well excuse me jerker, I neglected to document with photographs.

Of course if you had a clue you'd look at masks from several years ago, and variations for hospital environment. Do your homework.

'chunky frog' omits that some designs indeed are designed to work. IMJ Swift nostril pillows, Phillips Wisp nose cup, Phillips Dream under nose cushion are. But Phillips predecessor to that one was incompetently designed, clever looking but hopeless in use even when modified. (Respironics ComfortCur...

Thankyou 'Dog Slobber'.

Information is valuable in the zoo of interfaces, which are a key reason for 40% of people who try CPAP abandoning it.
