Cflex vs Aflex

Which seems to give more normal breathing, and what is the difference. On either one, which setting 1,2,3 is optimal. Thanks. Dori

Changing Settings

I'm trying to adjust my hubby's settings. Our sleep dr saw him once after the sleep study in Aug, ordered an APAP(I had to be firm,thanks to you) with settings of 8-18. It seemed like he just picked some #s out of the air, no reason. Followup in Nov. Our DME won't change the settings without RX or r...

Re: CPAP BED PILLOW !

It only comes in one thickness, but it does come in Standard or King size. So far it feels just right but don't know if it will flatten over time as most pillows do. If so, it isn't a big investment. Shapeables seem to be a Target item only, not sure. Certainly worth a try.

Re: CPAP BED PILLOW !

We bought this from our local medical supply store($55) with no return policy. My husband slept on it for a total of 1hr trying to keep his face in the small slot. If he didn't get it just right the other end popped up against the back of his head. So we cannot give a yes vote on this one. We did ju...

Re: ComfortGel FF Mask

Ha,Ha, I was going crazy trying to find the page with boiling instructions for the FF. Snoredog, thanks anyway for the prompt reply. So now another question so I don't have to call Medicare and be put on hold forever, how often do they allow you to replace a mask? Also, we acquired a QuattroFF along...

Re: ComfortGel FF Mask

Jim, thanks for the quick reply, now another ?. What type pillow do you use, can't quite understand what "straight up and down means". I hear this Papillow is popular.

ComfortGel FF Mask

Can someone give me instructions on taking apart mask and boiling the blue gel to get mask to seal better? I read somewhere that can be done. My husband has been wearing it for about 3wks and it is leaking when he sleeps on his left side. Thanks.

Re: Denture Wearers

Thanks for the fast reply, I'm really asking if a FF mask would seal better if dentures were in, because the face kind of sinks in when the dentures are out. Hope I'm making myself clear.

Denture Wearers

I'm a first time poster looking for help for my "senior" hubby who finally started treatment 2wks ago. Many of my questions have already been answered here and I have many more, but for now what is the consensus for wearing or not wearing dentures with a FF mask? We asked our Dr but he just shrugged...
