Resmed climate settings

Let me see if I can say this correctly this time. I have a resmed airsense10 with an F20 full face mask. What humidity level and hose temperature should I set the CPAP to avoid dry mouth?

Impossible to answer. Too many variables.

If you're new to using a heated hose, you can start experimenting by just setting everything on the default setting of Auto and using the machine for several days. That allows the machine to choose a temperature and humidity setting based on ambient temperature and humidity. Many people do just fine with Climate Control set to Auto.

If you feel the air is too hot when using Auto, then switch to Manual control of the hose temp/humidity setting and try setting the hose a few degrees above your bedroom's air temperature. If it still feels to hot, set the heated hose to your bedroom's air temperature or below or just turn it off.

If you feel the air is too chilly, then switch to Manual and select a temperature in the mid 80s (Fahrenheit) and see is that helps. If you are still cold, keep increasing the temperature every couple of days until you find a temp that is comfortable for you.

If you feel the air is too dry or you are waking up with a dry mouth or nose, try increasing the humidity setting. You'll have to switch to Manual control of the hose temp/humidity setting to do this. The default humidifier setting is around 4 or 5. You can increase the humidity every day or so until your nose is happy or you start to get rainout.

If you feel like you're sleeping in a swamp, turn the humidity setting down until you no longer feel like you're sleeping in a swamp.
