I've used the ComfortCurve one night so far, but I can tell you that one thing it is not is comfy.
The ComfortCurve does, however, work in the manner described for it and the way I'd hoped for, so I'm not the least bit disappointed with it.
My guess at the reason for it's poor acceptance is that it can require tedious adjustment, and exactly how to make the adjustments is not at all obvious. I literally spent about an hour with the mask yesterday during the day before I got it adjusted so that it worked properly. It requires careful adjustment, and it took me a while to find the adjustments that worked for me. The Comfort Curve is my fifth mask and, by far, the most difficult to adjust. Once adjusted, though, it has not leaked.ladytonya wrote:They said that they had such bad luck with it that they got rid of it.
I sleep 99% of the time on my sides. I've already learned to sleep with just the upper portion of my head on the pillow so using the ComfortCurve wasn't much of a problem for me. The ComfortCurve wasn't nearly as finicky for me as the Swift has been.ladytonya wrote:Those of you who have had success, do you sleep on your side or stomach at all or strictly on your back?
It didn't work at all out of the box.ladytonya wrote:Have you had to do a lot of tweaks or did it pretty much work out of the box?
NO!ladytonya wrote:Is it really as comfortable as it looks?
I didn't get mine for comfort. I got it because I've had problems with other masks and the ComfortCurve looked like it might be the right answer for me. I'm cautiously optimistic that it is. I can't use a full-face mask because TMJ issues with it increase my apnea. A regular nasal mask quits working for me in the wee hours of the morning when my sinuses clog up. Nasal pillows keep the sinuses open all night, but leak horribly because I have "slotted nares". Also, recently, neither my CL2 nor Swift pillows are providing as good a seal as they originally did, because continued use of pillows tends to spread the nares out.ladytonya wrote:I have so many questions!
The ComfortCurve seems to provide a workable solution for me, and for that I am quite relieved.
And now, for one last comment on "Comfort" . . . Last night, in order to eliminate leaks, I had the mask strapped on tightly enough that it cause a little discomfort in my cheek bones. I'm gonna work on that to see if I can improve upon it. I'm betting there's a way, but I sure wouldn't recommend the ComfortCurve for "comfort".
