F & P Simplus experience THANK YOU!!!! - Dave W - 03-13-2022
So I was pretty attached to my Airfit20 cushion set up. Only problem was I had to wear it extremely tight. And I have a large nose and was getting terrible marks on my nose and face. That would last most all day. So at the suggestion of several posters here I tried the Simplus!
First night it was leaking so much I took it off. In fact I wrote it off. Then someone here suggested I give it another try. Somehow he diagnosed my problem, I had over tightened the top strap. So I backed it off and tried again. SUCCESS !!!!!
The fit is great. Some pain in my nose but at this age nothing I can do about the bridge in my nose. I'd say the marks disappeared by 90%. My episodes per hour average under 3. I notice my observed pressure readings are down from upper teens to lower teens. Sometimes as low as 6. Average around 12-13. I couldn't be happier.
I am very GRATEFUL for the help. Thanks to all!!!!
PS How to clean the baffled section? It looks very fragile. One thin strip of plastic. And how long of a life might I expect??

I'm currently using a Vitera, but I still have my original Simplus from 2014. The Simplus was in service until about 2 years ago, when I got the Vitera. I have yet to wear out an F&P mask.
