OK, I take my statement back that the sentence "Cushions just snap on and off" has to do with mounting the cushion onto the mask frame and not to the shape of the Activa cushion during inspiration and expiration. It's my English as a second language. Sorry.

However, with my APAP maximum pressure of close to 13 cm and EPR=3, I do hear the Activa cushion making "snapping" sounds while I breathe in and out, but I don't hear it when I use the SoftGel cushion. Last night I loosened the headgear almost completely and tried again. But this causes the leak to go too hi and louses my treatment. I should retrieve the Activa cushions which I threw in the trash can and try them out with headgear loosened.

It costs $31 plus S&H at either CPAP.COM or here:

Both of them want a copy of your Rx.
