Do your cheeks puff out a lot when using this combo CPAP? Were you extra tired the first few weeks of using it? Do you think that swival hose that comes with it is necessary?

[ChicagoGranny]

Do you have the software so you can see exactly what is happening at night?

I use the Innomed Hybrid...almost the same mask.....and NO my cheeks dont puff out and NO I wasn't tired with this mask and YES I think the swivel is good because it is part of the mask and it makes it easier to roll over and keep the hose out of the way.
If you wouild kindly go to your user profile and register on the forum and add your equipment...in text please, we would be more able to answer your specific questions.

I have an Innomed Hybrid, but:
No.
No.
Yes.
The lack of a swivel was the main reason I never tried the sleepweaver.

I have and use the Mirage Liberty every night and my answers to your questions are:

1. No. I don't believe the mask puffs out my cheeks; at least I am unaware of any puffing. I find it to be the most comfortable of the full face masks I have now.

2. No. I AM extra tired, but I don't blame that on the mask. My mask leaks are minimal and I believe I am getting the exact therapy I need. I know it will take time to resolve excessive daytime sleepiness since my apnea was severe and untreated for many years. I blame any extra sleepiness on sleep fragmentation that I am trying to control.

3. YES. Swivel for me was absolutely necessary. I'm a 100% side sleeper and turn from left to right side throughout the night. The swivel makes it possible for me to do that and not get caught up in the hose. If it were a rigid connector, I think it would pull the mask off my face.

and for the extra credit question...

Yes. I have the software.
