how many times can you trade out cushion?

I'm with Lyncare. I think my full face cushion is too big. Is Lyncare obligated to switch out sizes of cushion for free?

different cushion for F20 full face mask?

I'm a woman using the F20 medium cushion. Is this medium for men/women? I think it's too wide and causes leaks when I sleep on my side. How is the "for her" compared to the standard mask? Not sure if I should get a small or a for her mask in medium.

Re: changed clock to help with compliance

well my nap isn't always consistent. Sometimes it's just an hour. So I'm happy now that I can adjust the number of hours in my nap for compliance based on how bad the night was.

changed clock to help with compliance

I tend to sleep 6 hrs at night and then take a 3 hr nap during day. I'm trying to change this habit. But meanwhile it's a problem with compliance (I'm new and I take mask off while sleeping without knowing). My data uploads at noon. If Im napping during the noon hour then some of the time counts tow...

Not enough air

My first nite of CPAP was a bust. Not getting enough air. And breathing out goes thump thump thump in the hose. Help!!! I turned off the ramp mode. Resmed airsense 10 autoset.

Autopap or bipap

I think my sleep center said I should get a CPAP with automatic features which I guess is essentially an apap right? Also, why doesn't everyone get a bipap? Wouldn't that be more comfortable to be able to exhale?

Apria, Lincare, or Rotech?

My insurance covers Apria, Lincare, or Rotech. Any opinions on these companies?

Re: New, Apria,

Thank you. I'm thinking about dumping Apria as they have already been annoying. What are good companies?

New, Apria,

Hi I'm new to this. 2 sleeps studies show I have OSA. I'm working with Apria. They say they are recommending Resmed airsense 10. I think I'm going to have to buy the machine through my insurance (high deductible). They say this machine is apap. Should I try to rent one first? Is there much differenc...
