quattro ff mask help

Post by meahmiller » Fri Nov 05, 2010 10:55 am

hi all, i am new and looking into buying a quattro mask. i have cut out the sizing chart on cpap.com and used it but i have a quick question. the sizing chart seems to fall on my face right on the line between x-small and small, so which should i order?

my other ffm is a comfort gel (small- its the only one the dme had). my nasal pillows are lt for her (xsmall)


any advice would be greatly appreciated

I was prescribed a Small Quattro and a Large Swift fx at my sleep study. (according to measurements). After a couple of unsuccessful weeks I was switched to a medium in both. I think the measurement templates are merely a guide, I did better with trial and error. Sorry if this doesn't help.

My experience is that the Quattro runs a little large. My DME measured me as Large, but after 2 nights I exchanged it for a Medium.....that was a year ago. Still using that original mask and headgear....changed the cushion 3 times.
