If you had never worn a FFM before, and had to pick one from this list, which would it be?

Why only those three?
Already got mine (in my profile). It was my very first choice and after trying a couple of others along the way, it became my "one and only".

I selected the non-option ... none.

Doesn't your question seem a little silly to you, If you NEVER wore a FFM before, What would you be basing your answer on. Oh, never mind, it's only a Poll! Jim

I have tried all three masks. I used the simplus for several months, then changed to the amara view, and am now using the F20. I still occasionally use the amara view when I develop a small sore spot on my face. It shows up every so often, usually about every three months or so, and when it does, I use the amara view for a few nights. The F10 did not work for me at all. I had a hard time getting it to seal around the bridge of my nose.

Interesting. I'm at high pressures and I personally can't tolerate the Amara View and prefer the F20. I've used both the AirFit F20 and the AirTouch F20 mask, and didn't notice enough of a difference in leaks with the AirTouch seal to say it is better. So to me the AirFit is superior because it is easier to clean. I'll be changing back to the AirFit as soon as the month is over.

Not sure which I would choose, but I would certainly (WARNING, shameless plug for sponsors of forum) use cpap.com's compare-tool for making my choice: . . .

Innomed/RespCare Universal Hybrid mask, considered FFM as covers mouth and nose (pillows).

None of the above. My Mirage Quattro has been great for 5+ years. Tried most of the new ffm's and keep going back to it.
