CPap.com has free return insurance available with it and if you call and ask the price it's $89...if you hate it you have 30 days to get it back to them from the time they ship it to you..They will even email y...

Re: Two new Resmed Masks---coming soon?
I hope someday there becomes available for every cpap machine a top loading solution like the dreamWear mask that I have - it is working very well for me. Took a few weeks to get the right tension on the headgear straps to keep leak rate low, and minimize shifting when I roll over. Sometimes I get s...

Re: Nasal pillow recommendations needed please
The dreamwear mask has the hose connection at the top of your head as opposed to the front of the mask. The top of the mask is also where most of the exhaled air escapes from so air is not shooting out from the front of the mask, but from the top. It's not a pillow but it fits similar to one, maybe...

Re: Thanks a lot!
All those stupid Three Stooges comments would be semi-amusing if I wasn't serious about this. (I thought this was a serious forum, anyway) T..... ....the US Army controls the deployments, and they have a policy that says Sleep Apnea is a non-deployable condition. But, if I get a letter signed by my...

Re: DME Advice Sought
It's hard for me to suggest a nasal mask for you to try because I really don't have all that much experience with them. Plus I don't know what your needs and preferences are but I was just going on what you said about the mask which leads me to believe you aren't so happy with it. I am using Mirage...

Re: Is Provent Therapy for me?
Last week, I come across a new CPAP therapy previously unknown to me. I am curious, is there anyone around here using provent therapy who can share first hand experiences, its benefit and cost vs a traditional water-based cpap therapy? Here is a video link about provent therapy. https://www.youtube...

Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.
I'm three days in with my machine and sleeping like a baby!
It's a dream come true - I've been sleeping poorly for nearly ten years and wish someone had suggested a sleep study nine years ago.

Re: Poll: What type of mask do you use?
Dreamwear nasal mask. For me it is very comfortable, average over 8 hours of good rest every night. What I really like is once I have the velcro straps set it pulls on like a Catchers Mask. The hose goes out the top of the mask. I don't even feel like trying any other masks to see if one works bett...
