Roberto:

When you get the BREEZE would you please post a critique of it, both likes and dislikes and any other information for us!

Thanks,
Yes ... I intend to do that. Hope you are not in a hurry though, as it will not likely be for a few weeks to a couple of months from now.

If you do a search of this forum, there are many Breeze topics to review and may well answer all of your questions.

IMO, it lacks lateral stability and it also has that metal plate in the back which interferes with back sleeping -- both of which can be addressed with some modification ... otherwise, I believe it has a lot of potential as a nasal pillow interface.

Try the search tool ...

I forgot to mention that if you also click on the CPAP FAQ button at the top of the page, there is a link that points you to a lot more links for the Breeze.

President-pretender, J. Biden, said "the DNC has built the largest voter fraud organization in US history". Too bad they didn’t build the smartest voter fraud organization and got caught.

Thanks!

The second one includes RestedGal's list of clickable links to further Breeze topic threads.

Good luck!

Definitely not Roberto, but a Breeze user. To me, its pro is also its con. What I like is the freedom from gear around my face, but that freedom lends to instability. Solved by stabilizing with either a sturdy sweatband/ headband or wearing pantyhose over my head like a winter cap. No more function issues.

Thank you also Kathy and what dreams! You have given me a good feel for this mask and I will try it, even if I need the extra strap etc.

Thanks again to all

I used the Breeze for about a year. Liked it very much for toss'n'turn side sleeping. Didn't like it at all for sleeping on my back, but I was mostly a side sleeper, anyway.

I put an extra homemade strap down this far...kept it very stable:

Note also, in that picture I retouched... I drew the hose going upward, not hanging down the back of the head the way it's shown in the real ad pictures. Routing the hose up to connect to the main air hose hung on the headboard or wall above one's head helps a lot. Keeps the weight of the main air hose from pulling at any headgear or any mask. Lets you turn completely over underneath it, like a fish on the end of a slack line.

RestedGal:

Thanks to you also for the great information you supplied! It sounded like this mask would be a winner for me but the other things I can do that you put forth to make it better sound like a winner for me and comming from you and the others above I am pretty sure it will be a good one for me!

Thanks again to all

breeze update

Post by whatrdreamsmadeof » Wed Sep 06, 2006 11:39 am

Hello again,
I just wanted to let you know the new breeze nasal mask comes with an adjustable front strap that can be adjusted to come down about to the middle of the forehead, depending on the size of your head. If I set it down that low is stays on tighter, but as my head is on the small side I don't use it low on the forehead..........I still love it..........good luck!
