Help with comfort curve mask

jbernardk · Post by **jbernardk** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 3:05 pm

i just got a comfort curve mask and I can't seem to get a tight fit. I have the straps adjusted about as far as they will go and the interface just sits a little below my nose and the air just leaks out. If I push it a little toward my face, I get a good fit. I have a big head. Any ideas?

I wish you good luck in finding felp with this.

I had a comfort curve and NEVER managed to get it not to leak:(

Maybe the thread BUMP will get you some help.

My ideas:

Try adjusting the size of the circle in the back of the headgear. I know you said you had a large head, but, If you put the mask on, and turn on your machine, and adjust the size of the circle while you are laying down, that usually does the trick.

Try a smaller size cushion.

The outside of the cushion should be the same size as, or a hair bigger than, the bottom of your nose. (the part where the 'holes' are).

If you can get this mask to work for you it is totally worth it.

I use the CC as my second mask after the Swift. It took a few nights and a lot of research to get it working for me, then it became very comfortable.

Good luck
