Re: How to make F30 more comfortable

Chunkyfrog it feels like pressure pain. The inside of my mouth (cheek) have dents too from the pressure. So I definitely think it's pressure. I tried to sleep with my F30 last night again.

Re: How to make F30 more comfortable

Once my Sleep technician changed ...
