Re: Trouble with leaks with full face mask when sleeping on side

Thank you for suggesting SleepyHead. I do have it installed, but I haven't looked at my data lately. I'll have to bring down my memory card and check it out.

Re: Trouble with leaks with full face mask when sleeping on side

One positive I've discovered from the past few nights with the N10 mask is that I'm not apparently the mouth breather I thought I was. I've only noticed my mouth opening a couple times while having the nasal mask on; for the majority of the nights, the nasal mask has worked just fine without even ne...

Re: Trouble with leaks with full face mask when sleeping on side

After trying the nasal mask for a couple of nights, I've got a call into my DME to see about trying a nasal pillow. I find that the edge of the silicone is rubbing against the bottom of my nose, irritating it. I did try some Lansinoh, but it didn't provide much relief. I'd be happier with the nasal ...

Re: Trouble with leaks with full face mask when sleeping on side

I've used a FF Quattro for 6 years without problems. Currently I use the buckwheat hull pillow. Be sure you are following all fitting instructions. I believe there is a video available. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC4uOh8bxCA Thanks for that. I've watched a few fitting videos to ensure I'm doin...

Re: Trouble with leaks with full face mask when sleeping on side

Last night was my worst experience with leaks. Even Resmed's MyAir page gave me a failing score for "mask seal", and my AHI count increased from about 1 to 6.3. Fortunately, today I met with the DME provider who came by with a bunch of different mask options. Since I'm within my 30 day period, I'm a...

Re: Trouble with leaks with full face mask when sleeping on side

I quickly learned to use a nasal pillow mask. I did have some mouth leaks at first but trained myself not to leak by always being conscious of keeping my tongue glued to the roof of my mouth during the day. After a couple of weeks of this training, my data showed leaks were no longer a problem for ...

Trouble with leaks with full face mask when sleeping on side

Hi, everyone. Thank you all so much for all the great information here! I've really enjoyed learning abut my new CPAP life (I just started last Monday night) from everything I've read here.
