Hey all, just had my 3rd night, just starting this and not sure when / if I should look into a diff mask?
Love how the Quattro feels, does seem to move on me no matter how snug I make it.
1rst night nothing but fighting with the eye leaks ( especially when I try to hit my side ), trying to adjust and then the face farts started. Not cool!
Night 2, I did the cut old t-shirt to fix leaks, plus used skinny headband around head / middle of mask and leaks gone. Probally one of the best nights sleep I've had in years.
Lastnight sinus crap and just couldnt sleep.
I am a side sleeper for most part. Would eventually like to look into one of the pillow masks, but I fight sinus problems from deviated septum so not sure if that will work.
They said I have 30 days to try diff masks. I do like the mask but thinking about all the extras I have to add to fix it and it does seem to move around.
Suggestions? And thk you...
Another noob starting

Re: Another noob starting
Use your 30 days wisely.
Don't spend an inordinate amount of time with one mask if it is problematic. Yes I know it takes time to fine tune them but fine tune when you can experiment on their dime.
Nothing stops you from going back to a prior mask if you end up thinking it is worth more work or putting money into accessories.
Don't spend 3 weeks on a mask only to decide it just won't work..then you only have a week left to try other masks.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
Re: Another noob starting
You do not need a lot of extras. You just need 1 good mask liner. Check padacheek.com for Quattro mask liners and/or anti leak straps._CJ_ wrote:Hey all, just had my 3rd night, just starting this and not sure when / if I should look into a diff mask?

Re: Another noob starting
Thx for the responses!
Was messing with it this morning and just went over to CPAP and printed a sizing chart. They gave me a Large and going by the sizing chart on the site I am closer to a med.
Think I'll go out tomorrow and have them dbl check size, if med fits I'll try that for a few days and if not will try something else.
Thx again
