You shouldn't hear the swivel noise. Your hose has to connect to your mask somewhere. I would look at the most popular masks at cpap.com and start there. The mask search is a journey.
Good Luck!

Re: New to CPAP - Advice from experienced users would be welcomed
Look at CPAP.com and see if they can help you. If not, ask them to point you in the direction you need to go. The Resmed Airsense S10 is a good machine and cheaper than the S11. Whatever you purchase when buying a Resmed, stay away from the elite. Cpap.com had a one day sale recently and they had th...

Re: Which mask to use on a resmed s8 elite 2 ?
Most all masks will fit any machine you use. There is no special or specific mask for a particular machine. An S8 Elite.... wow... I think I got one somewhere. It's only a cpap-mode machine. If you can stand the cpap-mode, it'll work in a bind.

Re: Newish user : no benefits
To me, there are probably two benefits of successful cpap therapy. One, is to start feeling better, stop napping at stoplights, grumpiness, feeling tired, etc.... The other is your overall health improvement. Your AHI is high and needs to be corrected, but there are a lot of folks here whose AHI is ...

Re: Resmed F20 fitment
You may need to go to cpap.com or maybe Amazon and order the smaller headgear separately. It's an extra expense, but I have the same problem. I use the extra large mask, but the headgear is way too big. So.... I have to order the large headgear. All headgears tend to stretch after being worn, Usuall...

Re: Dreamwear FFM & Padacheek
I have been using padacheek liners for about a year. I love the feel and there are no mask marks on my face in the morning. My leak rates tend to soar, but my AHI is low (in the normal range) and the leaks do not wake me up... so all is good!

Re: Boo, resmed will stop mirage quattro in 2023, replacement suggestions?
Thanks for the replies and suggestions! Got busy and neglected to check for replies until now. After checking all my storage areas, I found three brand new Mirage Quattro cushions and two new elbow assemblies, and three (used) plastic masks. I usually get 6 months of service from my cushions with f...

Re: Boo, resmed will stop mirage quattro in 2023, replacement suggestions?
I used the Quattro for about 8 years. I thought it was time to try something else. The F&P Simplus looked similar so I tried it and I liked it. Used the Simplus for about 2 years when F&P came out with the Vitera. Although similar to the Simplus, it has a few additional features. I could not be hap...

Re: Boo, resmed will stop mirage quattro in 2023, replacement suggestions?
I'd be interested in what you come up with. I like the ultra mirage quattro because of the nose bridge adjustment. The Resmed F20 beat up my nose bridge so much, I had to abandon it. I finally got a full face I like, then this happens. I'm getting some extra cushions and a few complete mask sets, as...

Re: Worsening fatigue need advice
You need to see your primary care doctor. There are many things that can cause fatigue. Maybe he can order you a blood test.

Re: Aeroflow regrets
I've used them for about a year since I quit using Crapria.... er... I mean Apria. My experience is they are much better with the quarterly resupply, but I'm needing a new machine and they aren't doing so good. I'm on Medicare, and they always use the "dealing with Medicare" excuse. But being in the...

Re: Can a pillow worsen apnea?
I got chewed out a while back by saying the buckwheat pillow was hard as a rock for me. At the risk of being kicked off this site, I think it's a Fred Flintstone-type pillow. But that's only my opinion, and you asked for them. Pillows are personal. Some folks like what I like and and vise versa. Ear...

Re: DME supplier recommendations
I have used areoflow for a year. I was previously stuck with Apria (Crapria) for maybe 10 years due to my HMO. ANYTHING is better than Crapria. My daughter called them for the first time the other day and she told them they "were so rude!". I smiled thinking "that's my Crapria". If you use Areoflow,...
