They have 'em; they cost thousands and are only guaranteed to fit for a yr or so. Replacing parts is also very, very costly.

Well, I guess I'll have to stick with what I can get..

I, for one, would glad pay more for a custom leak-free mask!
I suspect sometime in the future, this might be possible. But the whole field of OSA is so new to the medical community. I'm there right with you Millich, right on line in back of you. LOL.

These discussions about Hybrids have been very informative. I mouth-breathe and am going tomorrow to get a Hybrid. I'll let you all know how it works. My pressure isn't high, only 6. It would be great to get a good night's sleep. Thanks, all.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related

Thanks for the link
With the price tag that they have on the custom masks, I guess that I will stick with playing mask roulette. One of these day I'll hit on the lucky one...
