Side sleeper with F30 or F&P Evora?

Post by Jlfinkels » Tue Nov 15, 2022 8:54 am

Any side sleepers out there that use the Resmed F30 or F&P Evora FFM? I'm considering it or the F&P Evora for when I am congested (which is quite often these days) and can't use my usual P10's. Interested in hearing others experiences. I've used the Resmed F20 for a few years on similar nights, but looking for something a bit more comfortable.

Yes, I did a site search but was hoping for more recent information as products change.

I'll let you know after I've had several nights with it. I prefer side sleeping, but occasionally I end up on my back (which pushes the AHI up). I just got my EVORA in the mail today from cpap.com (use the code FREEBF22 for 25% off) . . . as well as the two products from Amazon for hose management.

Here is a photo of the set-up. https://imgur.com/a/2BUHiFk Hope it works well. I've been taping my mouth because I'm a mouth-breather & have horrendous Large Leaks if I don't tape. The tape was getting irritating, so I ordered the EVORA to try out -- I like that it's "under-the-nose" and not a monstrosity!

If you want to know how I like it, you can check out page 7 of my post: "HELP Needed for 13-year CPAP User" since I'll be reporting on my experience with it there. Hope to get started using it tonight.

I use the Evora full alternating with the dreamwear nasal and tape. Love the Evora, seal’s great and is a great when you need a break from taping.

LOVE the hose management. Personally I think that is an under appreciated facet of getting used to all this (newbie here). Also probably why vendors are coming out with top of head connections.
