Resmed Universal Headgear alternative?

Post by ldylarke » Mon Jan 14, 2013 9:06 am

I'm looking for a Resmed universal headgear alternative. I wanted to buy it from CPAP.com but they can't ship Resmed items to Canada.

Will the Universal 4-Point Headgear for Nasal CPAP Mask work?

Alternatively where do you ORDER ONLINE in Ontario?

I'm sick of paying full price to my Vital Aire rep. The CS there has sucked since day 1 (5 some years now) and every time I call the phone is busy. They only have ONE person working there all day. Disgusting CS.

Try this place for Canadian supplier of ResMed products. http://www.clinicalsleep.com/
I believe you will need to call them to get the actual price. I know several forum members who use them and say that the prices (once they call) are real close to cpap.com prices when shipping costs are factored in.

I don't know enough about the headgear to say if it is interchangeable or not.

There are ways around the ResMed ban on international shipping should it come to that.
Ship to a friend in the US and let them mail it to you or there are business set up that will do that for you for an extra fee.
Sometimes forum members will help out. Send me a PM if you want to know more about that.

I have swapped headgear between Respironics Comfortgel and Resmed Micro and Quattro masks.
I prefer the Respironics headgear, even though it only comes in one size and is a fair bit cheaper.
Nicer fabric, and the velcro is better, too.
