RE: Flow limit is a little high
Tell me about what you are using for a pillow? Something firm?, Tall, perhaps two pillows?

RE: Flow limit is a little high
Medium firm, foam filled, king size pillow. I use a ResMed Quattro full face mask and always sleep on my sides. I have an adjustable bed frame so I slightly incline the head area of the bed when I sleep. Before I bought the adjustable bed frame I would put a comforter on the bed and my pillow on top of that because I like to sleep at a small incline with my head slightly higher and sleeping flat on a mattress doesn't feel comfortable to me.
Thanks.

OK
I'd like you to trial a smaller, less firm pillow. I don't care about the incline as long as it is not affecting your cervical alignment. Why? Because I'm suspecting the flow limits are somewhat positional and thus causing a slight obstruction by elevating your head. In other words I'm suspecting you are tilting your head toward your chest

Wondering if this is an issue that I am having with my flow limit as well. I will try to use one of my thinner pillows or just my cervical roll on my mattress.

Please post your cu=ENT screenshot in your own new thread and we can see if this is likely your issue.
