AirFit headgear loose
I have a ResMed AirFit P10. Highly satisfactory, The headgear straps appear to have become streched, resulting in the pillows being loose. The manual suggests washing the headgear, which I do weekly. Any suggestions on how to tighten the headgear?

Wash it with really hot water. This will cause the headgear to shrink. If this doesn't work, there are modifications that can be made using velcro straps to tighten it.

Wash hot as sgear suggests.
What I did once that worked fine was to whack the straps in half with a pair of scissors. Then fasten the straps back together using small safety pins. Worked just fine. Some people worry about the safety pins coming loose in the middle of the night. To those I say "Nay, o' worry a lot person. What could go wrong?"

You can add tension by multiple ways:
Resmed suggested: 1) Wash headgear in real warm water and air dry. 2) Reduce the distance between two top straps. Bring them closer for more tension. Other: 1) Wear a cap or a piece of fabric under the headgear straps. 2) You can put a thick piece of fleece around the headgear straps. 3) Twist the headgear straps by looping the end piece of the headgear thru the two pieces of top headgear. 4) Cut the top pieces in two, then sew them back together. 5) Buy a new headgear on Amazon or ebay for $21.

I think the lavender and grey "for her" is a little smaller than the blue and grey one to begin with...

How old is the headgear? I'm interested in how long before noticeable stretching occurs.
