Re: How to sleep deeper with cpap

thank you for posting this question. I’m just getting ready for work and have the same issue. I try to get at least 7 hrs of sleep. Have to be up by 5:30 am. But during the night I wake up 4-5 times because of CPAP. Not sure what is exactly causing this. I don’t hear any major leaks or noises. It’s ...

Re: Full bearded guy. Tried p10, pilario Q, airfit 10, mirage q.

Hello.. Last night I decided to give a try to the AirTouch F20 and unfortunately I couldn't seal it good enough. So, I went back to AirFit F10. The reason I did that last night vs Pilario....Ive been fighting some bad cold for last 10 days. Figured FF may help me sleep better. Also, at other topic p...

Re: 6 weeks on cpap -- sinuses are a mess, please help

I would leave a minimal amt of heat on (certainly not doing so would not help anything) but turn down/off the water. I would assume that the tube heat should be very close to room temp to avoid condesantion, Correct? I’ll definitelly set water temp at 1 and see if there is any difference. Thank you.

Re: 6 weeks on cpap -- sinuses are a mess, please help

Sorry for hijacking this post. I’m starting to wonder if I have the same proble. Same machine. 10 days ago I got scratchy throat and sinus problems. First I thought it was typical cold. But the only difference is, that now, 10 days later my throat is fine but my sinus never stop producing mucus. It’...

Re: Full bearded guy. Tried p10, pilario Q, airfit 10, mirage q.

I am going to order the Brevida, since I think it will work way better than pilario. Tonight, I might try p10 again... I used the P10 for quite a while and now use the Brevida M/L exclusively (P10 as BU). While in outward appearances, the Brevida is significantly smaller than the P10, it is far mor...

Re: Full bearded guy. Tried p10, pilario Q, airfit 10, mirage q.

Well I found the Pilairo Q package but the Brevida package is AWOL. I probably gave it away and forgot. It was my own personal Brevida...from back when I bought it from cpap.com and kept it for the extended trial. Not sure when I must have given it away but must have been important. At any rate...I...

Re: Full bearded guy. Tried p10, pilario Q, airfit 10, mirage q.

Ahh man...it's literally been years since I actually tried the Pilairo. If my memory serves me...probably bigger than the larger Brevida cushion though. It was just a bigger cushion that sort of sucked in my whole end of my nose thing. But wait...give me a little bit. I might have one or both (Pila...

Re: Full bearded guy. Tried p10, pilario Q, airfit 10, mirage q.

Do look at the Brevida. One of my main complaints about the Pilairo was that cushion size. It was a bit overwhelming/annoying and the Brevida cushion is considerably less overwhelming in terms of size. It might just end up being perfect size for you. I liked the Brevida a lot more than I liked the ...

Re: Full bearded guy. Tried p10, pilario Q, airfit 10, mirage q.

I have to say, it was better than most of previous nights... I didn't get awake by hearing air escaping around my nose (worked more on better secure for the headgear).... and didn't get chipmunk cheeks.. Friday night I have mouthguard and Mueller Support wrap, last night just the mouthguard (but I c...

Full bearded guy. Tried p10, pilario Q, airfit 10, mirage q.

Hello everyone. Having problem finding mask which won’t stop waking me up. I have a full beard (rather trimmed). I have lots of bearded friends who suggested airfit p10 and f&p pilario q. I got both of these, and both of them are leaking. Resmed p10 more than pilario q. My biggest problem is leaking...
