Buying a mask overseas - POLL -

Post by tmr » Mon Oct 27, 2014 1:00 pm

Hello,
So I'm planning to buy a mask online and want some recommendations. Now I know everybody is different but being outside the U.S. limit things. Till now I tried two masks which are the FFM Fisher & Paykel 431 and the Simplus. Both of them are fine in lower pressure but leak like crazy in higher pressure like +13, unless tighten heavily. Though the simplus is somewhat better.

Also yes, I did try pad a cheek mask liner which were not helping much, I did not give it much try though.

Edit: Discard the above

I use the Zzz-Mask Full Face CPAP Mask Made by Probasics. I like that it does not have the forehead support, and more then anything else I like the price. Compared the price to Resmed masks this mask is half price, and the replacement cushions are about half also. The mask works well for me, but every one is different. I have high pressure settings of 23/19, and so far served me well.


I wish you well

The UltraMirage works for me, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone else because a couple of the little parts tend to break easily.

A poll for this purpose is guaranteed not to help.
Only 2 things are critical in selecting a mask:
A) Does it fit?
B) Can you get it?
Sizes and faces are never uniform--unless you have an identical twin.
Good luck!
