Mask Challenges

Post by stevelanc » Mon Sep 06, 2004 4:36 pm

I've been "fighting" with every kind of mak.

It comes off, irratates my face and just doesn't seem to work. I've tried several. Dr is getting frustrated like me.

Looking for advice

Cheers
May we all get a great night's sleep

Steve,

Welcome to cpap.com. Finding the right mask is somthing like finding the Holy Grail. I have tried more than 30 masks, and I have to say that the Puritan Bennett Breeze with both sizes of pillows (Medium and Large), works best for me.

I did recently buy a Resmed Swift and it is somewhat like the breeze with little nasal pilliows. That is another really good mask.

Just keep trying, you will find your mask.
