Ok, Installed everything - VERY comfortable, like a pillow for my face. Outstanding!
I'm a little concerned about the tiny hole for just my nose, as it blocks my mouth...but there is a guide for how to enlarge it if you need to. The whole point of my mask is to allow for mouth breathing. Anyone else just cut it wide enough for nose and mouth?
Will report back on first night's sleep.

Re: Praises for Pad a Cheek
I had the same question. I enlarged the hole upward about 1/2", but still haven't cut it out to expose my mouth. The instructions from PAD A CHEEK, Karen, say "Cut a little at a time" to enlarge opening, which is pretty nebulous. After 2 nights with PAD A CHEEK, I've gotten accustomed to the fabric over my mouth. I can breath through my mouth even with the fabric over it, although I don't routinely.Black Shampoo wrote:Ok, Installed everything - VERY comfortable, like a pillow for my face. Outstanding!

First night: no noticeable leakage. Second night: Early morning leakage around the upper part of the Quattro FX. I think I can re-adjust to correct.
I'm very pleased with the product.

Re: Praises for Pad a Cheek
First night report: comfortable as HELL. CPAP experience went from being strangled by a rubbery sex toy to being lovingly smothered by a soft stuffed animal. The pad-a-cheek is downright...cuddly.
It cut WAY down on leaks with my quattro last night. I got a little tiny bit into the corner of one eye after a whole night, but I just cranked down the forehead support angle a bit (I usually have it way down, but I was able to go most of the night with it all the way out instead). Thumbs up.
