Excited about the Quattro Air mask
Excited about the Quattro Air mask
I'm beginning to think there is something wrong with the shape of my face. I have tried so many masks, chin straps, liners, taped mouth, etc. ...even the "mask of last resort" (FitLife) without a successful night's sleep. The only one that even gave me 4 hours sleep years ago was the Mirage Quattro. I couldn't control the leaks in my new one, though. In reading what you are saying about the Quattro Air, I'm anxious to try it. Has anyone tried it that has a history of jaw drop?
Re: Excited about the Quattro Air mask
It's very interesting what you are saying!

Re: Excited about the Quattro Air mask
Have you ever tried the F&P 431,432 or Forma masks? They have a chin support which might help with jaw drop. The Air doesn't have this support and there aren't enough reviews yet to say if it accommodates jaw drop. Good luck.

Re: Excited about the Quattro Air mask
I've used the Quattro AIr & would love to help.
But I've never experienced jaw drop, so I'm not sure my input would be of much use.

Re: Excited about the Quattro Air mask
My Quattro Air arrives today, so I will be able to give some news on it Monday.
Up until now I have used the F&P masks mentioned above (431, 432, Forma). The Forma is a great mask, and I have had little leaking issues with it.

Surprised no reviews on the new Air yet.
Re: Excited about the Quattro Air mask
The jury is still out for me but my case is a bit unusual because it's my husband who uses the mask but I'm the caregiver. I really love the weight and design of this mask and want it to work. It's easy to figure out. I think I have the adjustments worked out but Mike is having some large leaks(about 1-2hrs) out of 9hrs and I haven't figured out why yet. He doesn't know how to make adjustments himself. It's so darn quiet that even the LL don't wake me which is not really so good because I can't make adjustments for him. I'll give it a few more days before I make a decision. Again, my situation is different so don't make your decisions based on my experience. I love this mask and it seems to me that it would work for most people but I'm certainly not an authority.
