new machine
i am due to get a new machine next week as i dont think mine is working as well as it used to. i think i've done well keeping it for ten years, is that a record??
it will just be an update of the basic one i have now but as long as it works and free from NHS thats fine by me.
.
i am going to ask if the do the the straps in the smaller size for women or i may have to but private as i am fed up with mine slipping off all night, so will be worth getting private if i have to.
have a good nights sleep all of you

Yes, sometimes we have to spend extra on things that help us sleep better (I have to buy my own masks as the clinic doesn't supply the one I like). Anyway, your hospital may have the smaller straps for you - fingers crossed......
Exciting getting a new machine - I get excited by new sleep equipment as much as I do when I get a new pair of shoes

It's not that the NHS won't supply certain masks Diane - it's the individual clinics that favour some manufacturers over others. In an ideal world all masks would be available in all clinics <sigh> I've wasted a lot of money over the years purchasing masks that I found were no good for me. When people buy masks we sell, I help as much as I can before purchase, as I hate people wasting their money.

CPAP Total Face Mask
I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More

"Hi
It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More

1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test
Hi everyone, today I received my rental kit - prisma smart max, plus a Philips dreamwear mask which I’ve been wearing unconnected to try and get used to it. I just did a mask fit test using a medium mask and got a constant red/orange leak warning…See More
