ResMed Quattro Headgear padding question

Post by flytrap » Mon Nov 08, 2010 7:48 pm

I've been using my Quattro mask to good effect, but the headgear is rubbing the back of my neck and has created a "sore" spot. Because of the way the strap is made, you can't really fit any of the available pads on it either. Does anyone have a suggestion or know where I might be able to source a pad that would work for the lower strap?

Thanks!

Yep, Padacheek.com! Padacheek(Karen) is also a forum member and puts lots of thought into her products. The quality is top notch and you even get choices of colors. Best of all her pads can be washed and reused for many years.

I have your same mask and, while I've not tried it, the Snugglehose Snugglegear 4-point headgear to completely replace the Resmed gear might be the ticket. Seems nice and soft and, while I've not explicitly had any problems, just that bit more comfort might be pleasant.

10 minutes ago i ordered the pad a cheek PAD A CHEEK Anti-Leak strap. I hope you have good luck with your strap. I am sure mine will work like a charm. Cant wait to get it.
