SleepWeaver élan small cushion--JOY!

Post by chunkyfrog » Mon Dec 17, 2012 2:49 pm

I just noticed the small size cushion for my mask is finally available at cpap.com!
Christmas has come early for me!
https://www.cpap.com/productpage/cloth- ... -mask.html
--just click next to the size selector.
I've been doing this every day since I heard the rumor that there would be a small.
Oh, Kathy, I am so HAPPY!

Music to my ears or should I say to my snout? The medium is a little too large for me. Hopefulyy the small is a better fit.

I'm happy for y'all! So far, the regular that came with the mask seems to fit me okay...or at least it fits my nose okay. But it's a little large overall on my face, now that I think about it. Maybe I should try a small, just to see...the leopard print would be kind of fun, too.


ETA: Well poo, none of the smalls are actually in stock! Maybe soon. Did you actually get to order one, Frog?

I actually had to switch to the larger one to have any luck with no leaks...

Oh wait, this is supposed to go over my nose? .... j/k....

This is the next mask I want to try out. Is there a sizing chart somewhere so I'll know which size to order?

Oh yay! I love my Elan, but it's just a bit too big on my face. Heading to cpap.com right now.
I also have used a night guard for twelve years.

Both the pink and camo are on order--arrival expected tomorrow 12/19 (at cpap.com)
I'm guessing they put it on the order page when they knew some had been shipped.
(maybe they didn't expect a rush on them)
Now I'll have to wait a couple more days for the mailman.
Bon bon: It looks like the starter kit is only available with the regular and large cushions,
with the small cushion sold separately.

Bump!
They got the cushions I ordered in yesterday; and tracking says they will be here tomorrow!
Of course, the blizzard might affect that! I will share my comments once I've slept with one.
Lazer, I tried a pink Advance awhile back, but sent it back because it was too large for my face.
I'm pretty sure it would have fit the Bullfrog--on the face!
Otherwise, it would have been much too small!

I think you confused me.

I wear a size small in every mask I've tried. An XS in any of them would be too small for me....so I'm thinking a regular in the Elan will probably work?

Maybe we could ask Cpap.com if they could swap the large for a small in the fitpack?
Never hurts to ask!

Hmmmm, very interesting! I have the Elan but have not yet persisted in getting it to fit without leaks. I was wondering if the large cushion it came with would work better, but could not get the medium off of the mask. Again, I need to persist with this. I wear a small in every mask I have, and so am wondering if I should order a small Elan cushion.....I will be interested to read the reviews here.....

To separate the front swivel from the cushion see this video:

Fast forward to 2:58 for the assembly directions.

Thank you, Chunky Frog! I just watched the youtube video and feel motivated to try the Elan tonight!

How is the weather in NE?
