Any masks can lower cpap titration setting pressure ?
Can not tolerate high pressure with existing mask and heard that some masks can be used to lower setting pressure for more comfortable ? Technically, all pressures at any closed surfaces should be equal in physic.

there are several folks here that use the Quattro FX at higher pressures.

what is it that is causing your issues?

The masks themselves do not lower your pressure - you do that, but depending on other factors, you may be able to use lower pressures with certain masks more effectively than with others.

Using an auto, my pressures have been slightly lower with nasal pillows than with a full face mask.
I believe some others may have reported the opposite result.
My conclusion--wear the mask that is best for you, and try to stay off your back.
