Activa Lt Nasal Mask

[csb]

I've been using this mask for 3 years now. Since 2013 I had always had good luck with the mask sealing. Very seldom would I ever have to adjust at night for leakage or did I ever wake with "Cotton Mouth", a dry mouth. Up until 3/2015 I would run my cushions in excess of 6 months and never have a leakage problem. Well now these new cushions I've been receiving don't seal worth a darn and I'm also waking most mornings with "Cotton Mouth". Has Res Meds changed the structure of the mask cushions? Whats going on, any ideas?

I'm an Activa user and it disturbs me to think there might be a problem on the horizon. Haven't gotten a new mask in eons, though, just buy what is on e-bay. Hope this turns out to be a solvable problem.

I bought a new Activa LT mask last summer. Finally got around to unpackaging it and putting it into service about 2 weeks ago. I too found that the cushion has changed: it's harder, less flexible, and less comfortable. It's also leaving marks on my face in the morning that take a LOT longer to disappear than those from the older Activa cushions.

It seems that maybe they have a different supplier for the cushions.

For me, the workaround has been to loosen the headgear a bit. I've never worn these masks "tight", but it's now more critical than ever to wear them as loose as possible.
