Anybody successfully use a Quattro FX?
When it's working it seems kind of nice, but that was only one night. Every other time I tried to use it (it was supposed to be a backup) the thing leaked like mad and half the time I'd wake up with the lower cushion in my mouth.
I'd like to hear pro and con on this.
Also, this double membrane is kind of comfortable but I don"t see how you can really clean it good without either leaving some crud or damaging the mask.
I had thought if I liked it better than my Wizard 220 I might have switched but, no way.

Prior to my current mask, the Quattro FX ones were the ones that worked for me. The big deal is that they are comfortable, but a bit of a pain to clean, because of the complex assembly/disassembly, it is documented on the ResMed website.

New to this. Googling, I ran across a video by a sleep tech & he said he preferred the basic Quattro as opposed to the FX. Didn't say why.

I used the Quatro FX for about a year and was pleased with it. I did sometimes have problems with leaks near the bridge of my nose which blew into my eyes. I changed to the Airfit F20 about 9 months ago and would not go back. The soft single layer cushion is easier to handle and clean, it is more comfortable, the magnetic clips make it easier to put on, and it rarely leaks. The cusions also seem to last longer. I've beenusing the same one for 9 months. I had to change the cushion on the Quatro FX about every 3 months.

been using quatro fx for over 6 months, i cant imagine why i would have to change the cushion, sometime it falls out at the side if i move too much. Im switching to Philips DreamWear as soon as i get my nose surgery.

I used one for about 2 months and found that to stop it leaking I had to strap it on so tight that my face was really distorted in the morning, so I changed to another mask .
