is the cushion factor any better on the quattro? Did you wear the same size in both, i would asssume yes, but you never know.. If the quattro was a lot more cushiony, or soft, i would consider it, because i love the seal of the UMFF but it is hard on my face.. thanks in advance.. MY DME doesnt have the quattro, probably the only mask i have not seen there..

Finally getting "some" quality sleep, I am hopeful now :)

I have found the sizing is the same on the UMFF and the MQFF.
I prefer the Quattro because it is softer, and I can wear the straps looser.
It is also less bulky due to the forehead piece being smaller.

I agree with Vader. However, the leaky elbow some of us have found with the MQFF might cause me to wait for a revision from Resmed.

Both are sold at cpap.com for a recentlly reduced price that passes for a bargain for Resmed masks.

Well.....I wouldn't wait THAT long.....
Only lawsuits or the fear of one seems to make them move faster.
Besides, Teflon tape is pretty inexpensive (and may actually be a better fix than what they MIGHT ever come up with).

THe seal is softer, more "cushiony" and seals well. (for me, anyway)
