Should mention that I am looking at the nasal one, not full face!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Lots of people like it, not so much the FF version though. You can see reviews on Cpap.com (product pg).

They have two nasal ones, the Advance, and the Elan. I wore the Elan for awhile. I really liked it.
It is the only cloth mask with replaceable cushions, and a hose swivel, plus the ability to direct the hose over your head.

Re: SleepWeaver mask - any thoughts?
I have the Elan. I switch off between that and the Resmed Mirage FX. I find it to be comfortable and very light on my face. It is well made and very compact for travel. I have had some soreness right under my nose which I have alleviated by using some moleskin as extra padding. It feels like blowing up a small balloon and having it cover your nose. It took me a few days to get it adjusted well. I play around with it by pulling it out and moving it side to side until it seals well. Most nights that I use it I have a low leak rate - often a little lower than my Mirage FX. If you decide to get it, I would recommend getting the kit with all three sizes in it. I only ordered the large and it seems to fit well but I think I just got lucky. Having all three to try out, to see which fits best, really makes sense to me now. As you will read often on this forum, mask decisions are highly personal so my experience may vary greatly from yours. Good luck on your quest to achieve mask nirvana. Maybe it is like selecting a wand in Harry Potter - Does the mask choose us?

Re: SleepWeaver mask - any thoughts?
I have been using the Advance for over a year and been very happy. I had some small leak issues with the last regular one when I had pneumonia but that may have been due to very restless sleeping. I just tried the new size small and it is great. I have had a virus this week with fever and erratic sleeping. It fits great and
even with tossing and turning total leaks under 8 and 95% under 4, mostly 0. Never had a large leak. I could not use the plastic masks SleepWeaver made cpap successful. I do use the hose extension and the small diameter heated hose. They have a 30 day refund.

Sent mine back after a couple of weeks. Found it too noisy and I didn't like the feel of the stretchy fabric on my upper lip. Tried the N10 nasal pillow shortly after and never looked back. Reminds me that I need to update my profile.

Love it! My nose was sore from chemotherapy and the Élan was the on,y thing I could wear that didn't rub. Took as while to find the right tension for the straps. Looser is better when it inflates it seals against your face. The exhaust from the front of the tube can blow toward your eyes making you think it is leaking her it really isn't
Re: SleepWeaver mask - any thoughts?
I like the Élan. It is the only Sleepweaver I would use now. I have used all 4 starting with the original one, then the Advanced,the Élan and the Anew FFM. The original and the advanced were good until the newer ones came out. I could never get the Anew to fit comfortably.
When I first started the ASV my pressures were higher and that blew the Élan out the point where I couldn't stop the leaks. Now I have lowered my max pressure and have gone back to the Élan.
Be sure to get the fit kit so you get the included feather light hose. It makes a tremendous difference in keeping the weight of my heated hose off the mask, which prevents leaks.
