I’ve used one for years. I started with one that just covered the nose but they switched me to a mask that covered both the nose and mouth. I use an Airsense 10 device. I recently switched to the heated tubing and its helped.i have 2 Airsense 10s (ones 4 years old) One is by the bed and the other by my recliner in the family room. I use a P&K Vitera mask on 1 and a Airsense F20 on the main device. Both have the silicone seals rather the foam ones. Less leaks with tge silicone seals. With 2 devices you need to use a different email address for each one. The app won’t handle 2 machines with same email address. My medical company has info on both my machines and they tattle to the medical company. That way the can see real usage. Which for Medicare is important since they have to report usage. It’s kind of a pain having to set up 2vaccounts but if you use 2 machines you have to.

My latest change is switching to a heated hose which has helped maintain the proper moisture level. Both machines have a heated hose now I bought an extra one from CPAP Shop.

The reason I have 2 machines is they replaced one at 4 years with a new one and I decided to use both since I do find myself sleeping in my recliner in tge family room often. Medicare only provides supplies for 1 so I do need to buy filters, tubing and masks separately.

The heated hose is a new addition it provides more uniform humidity. Its very dry where i live and tge more uniform humidity the heated hose provides really helps.

I just started 2 weeks ago after finally giving in to she-who-must-be-obeyed and having a sleep study.

I got the RESMED Airsense 10 (like you) with the heated tubing and F20 full face mask. Still working on getting a consistent seal as mask sizing to my face is a bit awkward at the moment.

I can see a big change since starting with the CPAP (well, technically an APAP) as I don’t wake up with brain fog anymore, have a better quality of sleep, and I’m no longer blasting my wife with the sounds of two chainsaws dueling to the death.
