Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

I'm needing medium Breeze pillows. I have dialators now but want to try the pillows.

I dont have anything to Exchange but willing to buy.

Send me a PM if you have an extra set you would like to sell.

Thanks,
Phil

Looking for Breeze medium Nazal Pillows

Re: SWIFT LT with Breeze Dialator review

Thanks for the suggestion. Once my Swift mask breaks Ill for sure try that.

Ive had two nights with the mod and I havent woke once with a leak.
They simply stay sealed and comfortable.
I love the dilator mod.

Re: SWIFT LT with Breeze Dilator review

I had the Swift Medium pillows and I went to the white medium dilators. I cut down the tips of the dilators about 1/4" because I wasnt accustomed to the dilator extending so far up my nostrils and it felt wierd. Cutting the length slightly made it feel more like a pillow but still prevented leaking....

Re: Can too high of a pressure hurt you?

6 or 7 IMO is too low. I would start at around 8. My doctor set me up originally on a range of 4-8. Once I learned how to set it myself that lasted about 1.2 seconds. I'm now on 8.6 - 12.2 and looking at my charts over the past two months, the actual range is setting around 9.6-10.2 so Im happy. BTW...

SWIFT LT with Breeze Dialator review

I recieved my breeze dilators yesterday so I immediately modified one of my SWIFT Nazal pillow assemblies. Modification was relatively easy taking no more than 10 minutes. Once the cheap plastic pillows were cut out I easily inserted the new breeze units. I must say this is the best fit I have ever ...

Re: Wake up feeling like I'm suffocating

My fellow Orlando-ian. I will gaurantee that after 1-2 weeks of using the same pillows you will have problems both exhaling and inhaling, regardless of setting. Been there , done that. I read earlier in this thread where ResMed knows there is a problem with their nasal pillows but refuses to fix it ...

Re: MIRAGE SWIFT LT QUALITY POLL--THE RESMED CHARADE???

I felt the need to update my post and experience with the new Res-Med Swift LT II Pillows. I have noted without a doubt the newer pillows are flimsier and after about 4-6 weeks of use will collapse causing Oxygen deprevation. This recently caused me to have a grand-mal seizure and I would like to be...

Swift LT nasal pillows indeed poor quality

Hello everyone! I havent posted in about a month, finally happy with no issues and nothing to write about. So I thought.... A while back (about 8 weeks ago) I purchased a Swift LT mask and I remember reading about how everyone was up in arms about the nasal pillow material recently being changed for...

Re: MIRAGE SWIFT LT QUALITY POLL--THE RESMED CHARADE???

I have two with a 6 and 1 with a 3. I can see a slight difference in the transparency but I really cant tell the difference in feel. I think they both seal equally well. The biggest problem with the SWIFT LT is the noise IMO, not the fit. The noise comes from the exhale vent. Its a poor design with ...

Re: Just got the software hooked up on my S8 Autoset II

Thanks for the comments. I really do feel very good but I'm plagued with one issue... Every night I seem to wake up between 12:30 & 1:30. I have a feeling that I'm not breathing that well. I feel "winded". I will take off the mask and breath normally for a bit and then put it back on I did another t...
