Re: dreamwear question

Have you tried raising the min. pressure even a little (to 6 or 7) because you're now starting at the default low number and most people have trouble inhaling at all there... which might have some effect on how the mask behaves. Never thought of that. I'm guessing to do this officially I would need...

Re: dreamwear question

I put the pads on the sides of the mask last night to see if it would help. I also tried slightly moving the nasal mask around to get maximum air flow "feeling". I think I slept better overall, the air vent on the top is annoying as it keeps needing to be moved around so the air wasn't hitting the p...

Re: dreamwear question

What pressure do you start the night with? Did your mask package come with the fleece side wraps? Using the wraps will help snug things up a bit. https://www.cpap.com/productpage/pr-dreamwear-cpap-fabric-wraps Would be fairly easy to DIY it with some thick fleec.

Re: Mouth exhalling sometimes

Thank you all for posting ideas! I appreciate all of them! I tried the ultimate chin strap, but I had to stop using it because it made my jaw sore and I my wife said I was snoring again. Odd, but true. Once I removed the strap, I no longer snored. I just switched from the P-10 nasal pillow to the dr...

Re: Mouth exhalling sometimes

That's a common problem with Nasal interfaces... I solved it with mouth tape and the ultimate chin strap. There are a variety of solutions users here use. Other solutions include finding a sufficient full face mask (I couldn't due to my mouth architecture), cervical collars, Adult pacifier, and I'm...
