Good mask replacement for side sleeper who used Mirage Activa LT?

Post by wahooker » Mon Apr 14, 2025 1:37 pm

I had used the Mirage Activa or Activa LT for many many years. They were recommended to me on these boards a long time ago, and were great for me as a side sleeper.

The new mask I have has a much smaller piece to go around the nose, and when side sleeping, the pillow seems to push it out of place and cause leaks.

Anyone have suggestions for a mask that worked for them well when the Activa was discontinued?

I know some places still have them in stock, but my DME that my insurance covers cannot order them.

I too use the Mirage Activa. I love the mask. Have not found a comparable replacement.

Luckily, I was able to get a few extra cushions before they were all gone, but I' on my last one.

The Brevida works well for me sleeping on my side.
