Can you show a picture using the f20 headgear? I’m glad that change has helped you.

RE: Resmed F40 Headgear swap out
My previous post was my first. I don't know how to post photos yet.

Vendor #42 has images of F20 masks and F40 masks. I looked at the images and compared the straps on each mask and noticed the F20 top strap and bottom strap pull the frame and cushion mostly straight back while the F40 top strap pulls diagonally upwards, and the bottom strap pulls straight back. For me, these different forces affect the seal of the cushion. Since I have both types of masks, it was easy to swap the straps.

No strap alterations were needed. Remove the top strap from the frame by unthreading the strap out of the frame. Unsnap the magnet to remove the bottom strap from the frame. Repeat for both sets of straps. Move the F20 straps to the F40 frame after removing the original F40 straps.

For me, this change continues to be a success. Last night's AHI was 1.4.

Hope this helps.
