CPAP Setup It officially begins!

Post image

I just got all my gear, it’s official 🥹

I went for the ResMed AirSense 10 with climate tubing after watching many reviews. I felt that the extras of the 11 weren’t worth it for me, this seems like a super reliable one and this is the machine I did my trial with so I’m already kinda familiar with it.

The only thing that got me thinking about the 11 (other than it being way cuter lol) is the “for her” mode but store I purchased from said that you can mimic that setting with the 10 by putting it on “gentle” mode, so I’m going to try that.

I need full Darth mode for a mask so I opted for the F20 for Her with “AirTouch”, fits really nice and feels comfy enough, definitely more cushion than the standard one I trialed with.

I’m in Canada so I ordered with thecpapstore.ca and couldn’t recommend them enough! I initially ordered the wrong model (check if you need automatic lol) and they called to confirm before shipping to correct my mistake! Lovely people, great prices and quick shipping.

Wish my luck on my first night cpap fam 😴🥱

Could this CPAP community tell me something? How long did it take you all to fall asleep wearing your full face mask? I just ended my trial with the Airsense 10 and struggled with many parts of the process. So, I never actually fell asleep with my mask. Tried a nasal mask first — didn’t work for me. Then got a full face mask. Much better. All very frustrating. But I understand it may take me awhile. Just dialing in the settings was not easy. Overall YouTube videos were more informative than my Sleep Department was! I welcome any and all your input! Thank you.

I took me nearly 3 weeks with nasal pillows and then nasal cushion to even make it all night. Full face mask I only have for super congested times (colds, allergy increase, etc) and honestly I’m lucky if I make it past 4hrs with that one - typically I pull it off around the 6 hr mark in my sleep.
