Has anyone tried the quattro fx cpap mask?
No, but it seems like it is top of the line. I would ask your family doctor whether other patients he had have tried it.
Reviews I found on the Quattro FX are 4 & 5 stars (out of 5), stating it is comfortable and provides a great seal. The only downside I've found is that cleaning the mask is a bit more labor intensive. In my opinion, if it's comfortable and has great seal capability, a little extra cleaning wouldn't be a deal-breaker.

Air leaks may reduce the effectiveness of CPAP therapy and headgear that is too tight may cause facial sores at pressure points. In most cases, replacement headgear is available if it is stretched out or the Velcro worn out. To see what parts of your mask are replaceable refer to our Replacement Part Finder.
Just search for your mask to see all of the replaceable parts. I sleep on my side or stomach, what are my options? Sleeping on your side or stomach is preferable to sleeping on your back because sleeping on your back worsens all forms of sleep-disordered breathing.
However, sleeping on your side or stomach can present problems to CPAP therapy. Both positions can put pressure on one side of your mask increasing your leak rate. Your options are to (1) try a mask that other side sleepers like (2) try bed pillows made for CPAP users.
Masks: We have found some masks allow for movement in sleeping position better than others. See our recommended masks for Active or Side/Stomach Sleepers. Special CPAP Pillows: Regular bed pillows can put pressure against the mask and cause leaks.
CPAP pillows are made with CPAP users in mind. These special pillows are designed to minimize the contact of the CPAP mask with the pillow, even when you are sleeping on your side. What does a mask prescription need to say?
Why might I need a full face mask? If your mouth drops open during sleep, a full face may be selected to allow for the CPAP airflow to be delivered through both the nose and mouth. Some CPAP users move to using a full face mask after finding that using a nasal mask along with a chinstrap does not meet their sleep therapy needs.
Some CPAP users use a full face mask when suffering from seasonal allergies.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
