HMG7450 - Therapy Thread and questions
#21
RE: HMG7450 - Therapy Thread and questions
Since you have a Sleep Number bed, (<envious font> A new one at that! </envious font>), I'd try different pressure settings to see if it effects your movement.

Two lubricants come to mind to aid in reducing/eliminating the squeak.  The first is to rub some mineral oil on the disassembled joint.  The second is to use a food grade O-ring grease.  Since you are more inclined to have mineral oil, I'd make it my first choice.  This will provide a "proof-of-concept" to see if this is even working.  Mineral oil doesn't turn rancid over time, either.  The second choice is thicker and more apt to last longer.

I was going to suggest 'tuning slide grease' from a music store.

RE: HMG7450 - Therapy Thread and questions
I was wondering if anyone else experienced this and if this is just what happens with this mask.  I am also trying an n30i- Resmed nasal cradle. I have epr on 3 and even at low pressures like 4 at night it is so hard to breathe Out. Why is this? (I’ve tried all different kinds of strap adjustments. If slightly loose the cracked leaks so I’ve had to tighten it somewhat because I sleep on my side)(I’ve also tried different size cradles and even wide but I’m still having problems breathing out).
