quiet and light Nasal mask

Post by mibbim » Thu May 10, 2018 10:46 am

I use the F&P Eson II nasal mask since Feb. last year. It's quiet and nice in the beginning, but it always causes a deep mark on my nose bridge. But now it seems not working too well for me. I change cushion once a month. Didn't have problem before, but now my nose feel inching when I wake up in the middle of night. And sometimes I feel headache. Is there a better nasal mask that light weight and quiet? For the mark on my nose bridge, is the nasal mask liner will help? But I afraid it causes leaking? The mask tube connection is at the bottom of the mask, that makes me feel pressure too since it drops the weight like that. I saw the dreamwear nasal mask which has the design on the top, is that less pressure? How about the quietness? Thx...

I use the Dreamwear Nasal mask and love it. I don't think it's noisy, but I really don't have anything to compare it to. It's really light and comfortable.

Have you tried a mask liner, like PadaCheek?
The leakage through a liner is generally not horrible, but makes it quiet and comfy.
If your headgear is no longer stretchy, please replace it.

I've been really happy with the Airfit N20 so far...comfortable, wife doesn't complain about noise or air...minimal leakage for me.
