Quattro fx mask.
I have been using resmed quattro mask for a few months, now. I really love it but seem to be having a few problems with it , the last few days. The cushion piece, whidc contact with my face, keeps coming out of the frame and cause bad leaks. Any Ideas?

Well, Carolyn. Firstly, you and I should be in bed by now LOL, but secondly, I've also just got an FX mask and the 2 nights I've used it, it has has been falling apart on me too ;) Reckon we both need to do a search on this forum (at the top of this page) as to how others are coping. Meanwhile, it's back to the Respironics Fitlife for me.......!

There's a thread somewhere on this very subject. You complained about me saying the dog should be asleep in the kitchen, Kath, so I posted my thoughts on how one could contrive to prevent the mask 'falling apart'.
I'd be very interested to know if I was anywhere near the money as I fail to see how you can achieve this falling apart. The masks are solid - well, both mine are!

.....I know, I'll have to look into it more when I've time. Serves me right for thinking I could use it without reading the instructions properly, or looking at the how-to-fit video that I tell others about. As my mother used to say... "do as I say, not as I do"

Maybe time for a new cushion?
My NHS sleep therapist told me the cushions last at best 2-3 months.
She also said some people only have to look at them and they need a new one!
I'm new to all this but my FX cushion already has a tiny tear in it after 6 weeks...No probs at all with it falling out of the frame though. Are you pushing it in properly?
