Decided to use this thread to update. The other one seems to be a bit side tracked.
Ordered the
New ResMed AirFit F30i Monday 5:20 PM.
Standard frame/wide cushion.
Picked up at mailbox Thursday 11:00 AM.
Pretty fast service.
Do not know how relevant this is, but the more info the better I suppose: I am a fairly large male. 6' 3", 225# and my head and nose are fairly normal for my size.
At first glance I thought the wide cushion was too big for me. Not so. When the mask inflates it expands to hug the nose.
It kind of fills up the space around one's nostrils and nose. Good seal for me.
The nose cushion is different than the P30i in that it does not have the nare nipples. Just two oblong holes. Breathing through them is very unrestrictive.
I have a full beard. Medium to short (depending on my trimming habits)
It leaked around the area below the corners of my mouth down, until I tightened the lower straps a little more than I wish I had to.
Not so tight that I can not get used to it fairly quickly.
I ran a mask fit and got rewarded with a good little smiley face.
There is a frame fitment guide on the other side on the nose fitment card. Unfortunately it just shows three views of the frame with a head profile.
One with a green checkmark and two with a red x. One right, two wrong. If it sets too far forward toward the forehead - wrong (size up).
If it sets too far back on the head - wrong (size down). If it sets toward the front of the head, but not too far - right.
Not much help unless you have the mask in hand.
That is about all I have for now.
I will wear it tonight (maybe from now on if all goes well) and report back.
