Dreamwear full-face mask tonight instead of the Airfit

What did you think of the Dreamwear mask?  How was it different from the AirFit as far as fit and comfort?

It’s easier to breathe through my nose with the Dreamwear. But, I don’t think it has as much adjustment as the Airfit and I’m not sure I like the hose attachment being on top. Also, the Airsense auto start feature senses the flow restriction any time I pick the mask up or lay it where the side hoses are linked and it causes the machine to start.

Night #4 & 5  

I'm having some leak issues.  Maybe I'm getting more comfortable with the mask and changing position during the night?  I know on night 4 I woke up one time on my back and one time on the other side from what I fell asleep on.  My mustache has also grown out a little bit, so maybe that's making it easier to break the seal.

Did the leaks disrupt your sleep?

I don’t remember waking up for those reasons. I’m sure the leaking sound does wake me up some, but not enough to remember.

The leaks aren’t anywhere near Large Leak territory, they are very few in number, and they don’t bother you. So I wouldn’t worry about them. If you start to realize they’re jerking you out of a sound sleep, that’ll be another story.
