 Useless statistics. Seem to have large leaks registered, you need to have the mask completely off from your face.
Completely untrue.


So what we need to get large leak registered. My wife recorded some leaks from my mask...747 airplane like... And the machine recorded no leaks ?

Well.....all we have to do is have the mask move around a bit while we are asleep.

Without seeing the *DATA* for that, I have no comment.

Also, if it WERE like a 747, it would have blown the windows out of your dwelling.

Sorry to hear about the back pain. I get in about four hours of OK sleep before I start flipping back and forth to ease hip-tendon pain. So I can sympathize.

About pillow size: I started out using small pillows in my P 10, per the technician’s recommendation. That was awful; they shoved their way into my nose and really hurt. So I went up to medium, which was better, but not great. One night on a whim I tried the large size that was in my original fit pack, and wow, it was SO much more comfortable! So I’d advise you to try all the sizes and see what works for you.
