What masks are on the market that are good to use with someone with a larger head?
I have the forma full face mask that is extra large, but I am looking for other masks that maybe able to help me sleep better.
Thanks.
Extra large masks?
Re: Extra large masks?
You could try a Total Face Mask

Re: Extra large masks?
I use the total face mask that LSAT recogmends. Also check out Resmed.com. They have some full face masks (Mirage Liberty.... I think) that are sized for folks with big noses or big nose bridges... Resmed will mail you some plastic templates for you too see what fits you. The templates are nice since a lot of DME's don't carry a wide variety of masks and mask sizes.
Happy papin'!

I'm using the Zest standard mask, but they also make the Zest Plus which is the larger size.
I have a big head, and was wondering if I should have gone with the Plus, but the standard is working OK right now. In the future I might pick up a Zest Plus to try out and see if it fits any better or more comfortably.

Re: Extra large masks?
Did you ever try a nasal mask? Either a nasal or nasal pillow mask?
