life of nasal pillows

Post by kopoloff » Wed Jan 28, 2009 3:53 am

What sort of life should I get out of nasal pillows? I have an Opus 360, which is serving me well, but I think I might get a replacement set of pillows "just in case"

Thanks

I replace mine every six months, which is around the time they seem to lose some of their flexibility.

I go about a year. That is when mine begin to leak uncontrollably (another way of saying losing their flexibility).

6 months so far with the Swift LT.

I had to replace the Activa Cushion at 7 months cos it was leaking too much.
