"NEXT BEST" mask

Post by 53now » Fri Nov 19, 2004 9:11 am

Most will probably agree the Activa is the best nasal mask going today but.....are there other great masks out there ??? We hear alot about all of the popular "pillow interface" systems.....(Breeze, Swift, Adams Circuit) BUT let's hear some comments from people who use Nasal Masks (other than Activa)

Hi 53now,

Are you looking for comments from people who like a particular nasal mask other than those mentioned?

If so I'll have to pass - no luck with the "other" masks I tried during my sleep studies
Sincerely,

I like my Ultra Mirage nose mask by ResMed. Never had any problems or leaks from day one

Agree- my Ultra Mirage is great- it's got a nice quite exhast vent on it and I've never had any leaks.

I guess it's not much of a surprise to hear "Ultra Mirage", since that good nasal mask is made by the same company that designed the Activa. Resmed.


While I like the Respironics Remstar autopap machine, I've never met a Respironics mask that I liked. For me, it's ResMed masks only - in the nasal mask category and full face mask category. In nasal pillows - Puritan Bennett's Breeze, with ResMed's Swift a decently close second.

Of course, a mask that's a disaster on one person could be the greatest thing since sliced bread on someone else.
