What experience do you have that humidity requires more pressure? I have a heated humidifier on a ResMed Autoset and my average pressure has actually decreased since I began using it about five years ago. I would be unable to use CPAP without a heated humidifier. Actually, nosebleeds are a pretty good indication of the need for more humidity, but then, I've been accused of touting humidity for every problem that comes along.
