Cushion covers - foodphixer - 08-14-2024 I see a number of threads about leaks, but I'm looking for any comments, pro and con on using them. Did they help or hinder? I have been having an issue with a varying leak 7L one night 40L the next. However my average is sitting on the 24L line with an average 2.7 AHI average. I have a new sleep doctor and he suggested that I try a cloth cover. Any comments appreciated. RE: Cushion covers - Deborah K. - 08-14-2024 Lots of people here like the mask liners provided by Supplier number 31. At the top of every page, you will see, in the black portion a link to Supplier List. Click there and scroll down to number 31. Hope this helps! RE: Cushion covers - HalfAsleep - 08-14-2024 Your face might be relaxing in the night, so it morphs into a shape where the mask doesn’t fit right. This could easily cause a leak. A mask like the F20 might be especially prone to this because of where it sits on the face. Have you thought of trying a hybrid (FWIW the Dreamwear has a reputation for leaks)? I made the mistake of looking in the mirror while I took a bathroom break, and I looked like a cabbage patch doll. That was a totally different face than I fell asleep with. Also, if your mouth drops open during the night, your face would have a different profile. |
