Re: Anyone here switched from nasal to full-mask?

A bit off topic....Ive used nasal pillows for years in particular the Phillips gel pillows. However, Phillips discontinued the gel pillows and their replacement isn't as secure.

Re: Phillips / Philips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

After 18 months I received the replacement DS2 today. Bluetooth setup was a PITA, but otherwise setup wasn't too bad. As others have commented, the water chamber design isn't as user friendly as the DS. Its a bit cumbersome to remove the top to refill. The water level mark on the isn't easy to see. ...

Re: Phillips / Philips Respironics recent recall notice discussion thread

I registered my Dreamstation on 08/04/2021 and shortly thereafter paid out-of-pocket for a Resmed AirSense 10 Auto Set, pending the Phillips replacement.

Re: CPAP replacement for someone newly under Medicare

Here is my experience. I've been on a CPAP with 100% use since 2015 and was covered through employer insurance until 11/2019 when I moved to Medicare and a Plan F supplemental.

Re: Dreamware noise is keeping me awake

I am a newbie but I have tried quite a few options so far and the dreamwear nasal pillows has been my best fit overall so far. I really like the top of of the head style connection on the Dreamwear and the N30i and have struggled with full face options so I have mainly used those two masks. I like ...
