C-pap Masks

Post by judysunlakes » Sun Jul 17, 2005 3:40 pm

I would like some thoughts on the Mirage Swift. I have tryed it several times and the tubing presses on my face, since I am a side sleeper. Finally gave up and back to the Nasal Aire II. That too irriatates my ears, after sleeping awhile and the Nasal Aire 11 is so noisy (air). I am really not having a lot of luck with masks, full face or otherwise. Would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions from other C-pap users.
Last but not least, have any of you purchased the heated tubing from Australia??
Thanks for your input.

I'm also a side sleeper. Very difficult with a mask! I now have a Breeze, and while I don't yet have all the kinks worked out,I think it's much better for a side sleeper.

Check ot cpap.com and search for Breeze.

I've purchased the heated hose from OZ, but can't comment since I haven't received it yet. Bit based on all the info I've read here, I can't wait to use it!

I just received my new Fisher Paykel Infinity on Thursday - It's a go!!! So light I forget it's there, and the headgear is so small and non-intrusive. All 4 sizes of nasal pillows come with it, as well as an extra headgear. I slept all night without waking up last night - That's a first!!!!! I feel like being a FP chearleader!!

Well, I am kinda new, but I sure like the mirage activa, I side sleep and haven't had a leak for a few weeks, and the headgear can be worn so loose
