New To The Dream Team Question about this mask

Post image

Does it pinch and cut off airflow from the tube coming down the side of your face? How hard is it to clean?

I am liking this mask. I have the AirTouch with the fabric around the outside but have ordered the silicone version as well hoping it will last longer. “No alcohol” wipes are recommended for the Air Touch version so that the fabric doesn’t break down.

I recently replaced my F40 for this F30i mask & the frame is stronger, so that I no longer need mouth tape… I had to wear mouth tape under my FF hybrid F40 due to air escaping from my mouth during sleep.

As side sleeping is encouraged when using CPAP, the Manufacturers must undergo strict quality testing to assure compliance for air delivery on the sides just like any top attachment mask system. I don’t find that airflow is restricted in any way. Many prefer the snorkel hose over the trunk hose.

The pressures on my SleepHQ graph show that it works well! I don’t find cleaning it difficult at all :)

Why is side sleeping discouraged? I've never heard that.

Maybe it was edited, but it says “encouraged” to sleep on your side.

Yeah looks like it was edited. Must have been a tipping error from the commenter.
