"Hi Kath
Thanks for the message. I’m very interested in the chin cushion & keep looking to see if there is any stock. I will keep looking in on that item. The other strap looks interesting as well so will look into that further. …"

"Hi Kath
Thanks got your reply. I’ve tried the the F20 which is a full face mask but I found it quite harsh on the nose & face. I’ve tried mask covers & nasal nasal pads but they seemed cause mask leaks & gave me more…"
"Hi Kath
I’m wondering if there is anywhere in the uk that makes cpap masks from a 3d printer scan? I have TMD as well as sleep apnoea & I’m finding it difficult to find the right mask.Any help would be appreciated.

"Thanks so much for your reply. The sleep weaver mask looks like a possibility and i do like the sound of it. Will do a little more research into it. "
"Hi All
i diagnosed with sleep apnoea around November last year (I know I’d probably had it for around 20 years). I then waited for my cpap equipment until August this year due to the COVID epidemic. I was so happy with the results…"

"It's very much still relevant and we're getting closer to have them manufactured and has been no easy challenge. In fact we were speaking with the company working with us on this only yesterday. If you're not on our newsletter list…"
"I expect others may have responded by now, but I use the Fitlife full face mask. I kept getting a hard lump on my nose when first starting out & it got so bad that I ended up buying my own masks as my clinic would only give the Fitlife to new…"

"Hi Nick thanks. Does it do the job and could you camp with it?"
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
"I've been using the Resmed Airmini for about 5 years when travelling - overall lightweight and small and can be controlled by an App, but it does produce a loud whistling/wind sound for me which hasn't been reduced by an inline filter or…"

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
"Just to tidy this up, I finally had an in-person review by my sleep clinic yesterday, who agreed the ResMed AirSense 10 was "wheezy" and replaced the machine."
"thank you jonathan,i did get the it pack so tried the small and still struggled but i was sat up in bed so will try lying down great suggestion "
"Hi
My first thought is "don't panic"! We're all a bit different, and there are many things that can be tweaked. I took to CPAP therapy like a duck to water, but I've had friends who say they can't cope, but…"
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
Are every small CPAP machines any good?
Travel sized, micro - any good?See More
