Best Masks for Asian Faces
Best Masks for Asian Faces
Can I get recommendations for masks for Asian faces? I tried some full face and nasal masks and there would be leakage near the nose, or I would have to tighten the straps so tight it would push my lower jaw open.

I'm not sure there is such a thing
I now use a nasal pillow but when I first started years ago, used a nasal mask, SoftGel, here's the link: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... -mask.html
Also, have you tried nasal pillows -- I use the Aeiomed but has long been discontinued and not available anymore.. However, the Swift LT, Fx or the newer AirFit are several ResMeds that I've had some success....

Some nasal masks ride lower on the nose, avoiding a low nose bridge.
Wisp is one that only cups the end of the nose.
Nasal pillows are very minimal as well and do not require a full size sniffer.
I have also enjoyed a good fit with the Sleepweaver Élan cloth mask.

Have you tried mask liners? I had leaking at the nose bridge (and everywhere else) with my full-face mask, but liners stopped most of them.

I have a fairly flat bridge and find the mask I use (see below) is pretty good (had the same model for years), especially as there is a small forehead piece between the horizontal forehead bar and the actual mask frame that allows you to adjust the tilt angle of the mask, plus I wear a size small shallow, which is unusual to find in any mask... you might want to try it.

It's funny most of the masks for americans are made by Asians, but since we no longer have Americans making products, it might be hard to find a mask for Asians made in America. Thank you Global Economy, and the sellout Corporations. Jim

Re: Best Masks for Asian Faces
Sorry for reviving an old thread, just want to get any updated recommendations. I note Sleepweaver have been recommended. Just wondering if there's something else I should also try.
