Simplicity Mask

Post by Paul » Sun Oct 10, 2004 11:14 pm

The Simplicity mask looks like it does not cover the whole nose. I am looking for something that is not too cumbersome.

Has anyone tried it? Does it seal well? Are their issues with leaks?

Simplicity mask

Post by Hawthorne » Tue Oct 19, 2004 9:07 am

I have used the Simplicity mask for about 2 years now and find it great. It is small and that is good. The adjustment of the straps is the biggest probem. I usually have them too tight. It was the mask I used in my sleep study and I sleep really well that night.
I have tired several other masks, Nasal Aire II, Comfort Gel - and am now experimenting with Comfort lite and I like the nasal pillows with this one. I will still often go back to the Simplicity during the night or just use it all night. I will always have a Simplicity on hand. When I have a cold I need the mask and not pillows and the Simplicity is great.

Right now I have the Activa and Swift but I am going to start a collection of other masks to change off.

Who makes the Simplicity mask? Is it a FF or nasal mask?

Thanks,
Judy

I can't resist trying some of the newer masks too. One never knows when something will turn out to be that "mask in a million". And as you said, JudyAnn, it's nice to have some other types of interface sitting around when you want to use something different on any given night. After a one night fling (figuratively speaking!!) I usually find myself going back to my favorites - the Breeze and the Activa, but that doesn't keep me shaking the piggy bank and trying a new mask from time to time.

The Simplicity mask is made by Respironics. It is a nasal mask and fits nicely from the about halfway between the nose and the upper lip to the bridge of the nose.

Thanks Hawthorne.

Hey, I could go broke getting hooked on trying all these new masks.
Come on, Rested Gal, now how many do you really have in your stash?

I think I will start a new "topic" on How Many Does Everyone Really Have?
