Nose touches inside of nasal mask

Post by Jerseyguy » Sat Dec 09, 2017 8:45 pm

I just figured out my nose touches the inside of the my eson nasal mask Do I need a larger size is the mask too small I've been getting a lot of leaks lately?? Also how do I figure out what size mask I need. I was thinking of getting a new cushion for my old amara view which is a FFM but I had a medium may be I needed a large which is why I didn't do well the last time I used it?

There are usually size guides that you can find on the internet from the manufacturer. Just search your current mask and pdf. But it seems to me you need a deep size as opposed to a larger size. Have you contacted your supplier and explained the problem? Not all styles come in "deep" sizes.
