Oops, further clarification. My doctor's office fit me with a 431, small, which was so comfy and no leaks.

When I returned home from the DME, the box stated 431A. As the good bard said, "Ah, there's the rub." I needed a medium size.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi, Sorry about not being clear. I did receive all 3 sizes. It just was weird that the small fit so comfortably in my doctor's office and at my DME, the straps on the small had to be tightened. After struggling with it at home, the medium was much more comfortable. This led me to believe that perhap...

F&P FlexiFit Series HC431 & HC431A

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a difference between the HC431 and HC431A? I was fitted with a small HC431 which felt wonderful at my sleep center. When I went to pick it up at my DME, I landed up with a HC431A and only felt comfortable with a medium, which is weird. Is anyone familiar with this. I...

Hi,

Thanks for your tips. I truly appreciate them.

Being that we don't have a headboard, I'll get a hook and scrunchy. The directions given were very clear and I feel greatly relieved.

Everyone is so helpful on this message board ~ you're all terrific!! Happy Holidays to all.

P.S.

I just realized that you started last month. It's not too late to switch to another supplier. Do some research and try to find out about reputable suppliers in your area. I assume you're renting your machine.

Again, good luck.

Hi, I would suggest that you gradually start trying to get used to the machine while watching TV. It wouldn't hurt. It takes time to get used to this therapy, but each individual is different. You may find that you are one of the lucky ones who will adapt to it quickly and feel much better using it....

Breeze + Hose Problems

I'm a side sleeper and am currently using the Breeze, medium pillows. I woke up this morning and during my sleep, the weight of the hose shoved those pillows further into my nose and to put it mildly, ugh!!! I truly appreciate all you inventive people out there. I was thinking of attaching a hook to...

We're flying to Texas on Monday. I called our Airline and mentioned that I would be carrying my APAP equipment with me. They were very cooperative, answered all my questions and made a special notation on my ticket. The advice about bringing along an extension cord is excellent! Mine is quite long a...

Thanks everyone, you've just been terrific!! I'm going to check into everything. Last night I used Ayr both in my nose and on the Breeze nasal pillows as well. Made quite a difference!! But, I'm going to have to find a good nasal mask and will follow through on all your suggestions. Thanks again for...

Aura

Hmm, another mask to look into. I'll have to add that to my list as I do definitely find the Swift's nasal inserts more comfy than the Breeze. I also feel that it's a great idea to have more than one mask and I'll check into the Activa.

Thanks again.

Hi Mike, et all.

Well, with all the great tips I've received, I think I may be all set. I am most definitely a side sleeper. If I could, I'd love to practically dig my nose into my pillow. But, them days are gone forever. The first thing I'm going to do is pick up a tube of Ayr and get started with that. Then, I'll ...

Hi Mike

Is the Activa heavy?
