optilfe cradle cushion

Post by jomac30 » Fri Aug 15, 2008 4:59 pm

Has anyone tried this cradle cushion yet? I'm thinking about it. I just got a swift lt and its okay but the tip of my nose gets sore. Which one is more comfortable?

This was my first mask and I still use it. What I liked most about it was that I could put it on and still wear my glasses for reading while I relaxed. That helped a lot.

But I bounce around between the pillow mask, a nose mask and full face mask. I tend to go with the FFM about 1/2 the time and the other two the other 1/2 the time.

If I'm stuffy, I don't feel like I get enough air with a pillow mask.

I have the cradle cushion for the OptiLife and really like it because it work well, for me, and there is not problem with a forehead peice or something to cause sores on the bridge of my nose.
I wear a Medium in the nasal pillows for the OptiLife and ordered a medium in the cradle cushions first but it was way too large so I got a small. It fits well --for me.

Hi all,
I've seen a lot of notes about various cushions. Does anyone have additional info on the Opti-life cradle specifically?

Try this

https://www.cpap.com/productpage/optili ... -mask.html
Notice that on the page it has fitting directions and further information.

I have also thought about trying one out.

rcarr21 - my post of Aug. 15 (just above this one of yours) is about the OptiLife Cradle Cushion specifically.

What else would you like to know, since I use it? I mentioned my reasons for liking it for me.
