Mask Cushion Replacement Question
#11
RE: Mask Cushion Replacement Question
Thanks all.

Last night I went back to the old cushion, after washing it in soap and water and, lo and behold, no leaks!  So, I'm going to go with "CPAP wipes do not do the job well."

(At the same time, I had already ordered a different mask -- the F20 -- since it seems to get great reviews.  So I'm looking forward to trying that one out as well).

That's good news! Out of curiosity, what soap did you end up using?

Believe it or not, just my regular Neutrogena face cleaner, because it was handy!

RE: Mask Cushion Replacement Question
Ok, my final post here - 

I am sold on the AirTouch F20. Yes, I was back to sleeping well with the QuattroFX washed in soap, but I can’t argue with this:

RE: Mask Cushion Replacement Question
I wash my F&P Eson mask cushion once a month in warm soapy water, then rinse clean with cold water.. and do the same with the filters in my Dreamstation. 

Two years on and I'm still on the first mask cushion and second set of filters. 

Not so sure about this "replace weekly/monthly" theory we a sold by manufacturers and suppliers. Thinking-about

No doubt it applies to some brands/items, but test the limits of whatever you use and do what works best for you personally.  Coffee
