Generic Quattro headgear vs. OEM?

Post by Rustyolddude » Thu Jan 12, 2012 12:07 pm

I need to order replacement headgear for my FF Quattro and I see there is a generic available from cpap.com and I was wondering what kind of experience folks have had with it. My biggest issue seems to be that the straps at the forehead connection stretch/thin out and don't like to stay hooked as well. Otherwise no other problems with the OEM other than the price.

Rusty...this sounds like a strange problem. I have been using the Quattro for almost 3 years. I get a new mask and headgear once a year. I never change the adjustment on the headgear. I have never noticed any problem with the forhead piece....I keep the top adjustment very loose.
