modifying my mask?
i'm wondering if anyone has ever modified the mask listed in my profile? i'm having trouble keeping it on to where the pillows keep falling out. they never used to cause as much problems as they are now. i tried to switch to a nasal mask i had but it's leaking so bad so my sleep is suffering. i wish the nasal pillow mask i have had more straps to keep it more secure.

Re: modifying my mask?
Hmm... that is a good one cflame1... and thank you for pointing that out as I have had the same issue. It's worth a shot.
The one thing I did with that mask that made the biggest difference aside from a mod is to take the hose out from the top of the head clip. I found that the hose torsion was enough to pull that lead-in tube off kilter and cause leaks. As soon as I let the hose roam free, the problems lessened.
