F&P HC 431 or Hans Rudolph FF Mask?

Post by Newsgrouper » Sun Jun 05, 2005 12:46 pm

I need a second FF mask to alternate with my Ultra Mirage FF mask. I have narrowed it down to the F&P HC 431 or the Hans Rudolph FF Mask. I have ruled out the Respironics FF mask due to a total lack of luck with their masks.

Both are expensive and I would like some perceptions from the knowledgeable folks here. I am 6’ tall guy and weigh about 225. I am a side sleeper and move around a lot.

Hi Newsgrouper,

I have experience with the Ultra Mirage FF and the F&P FlexiFit HC431 FF. Much prefer the F&P to the Ultra Mirage. I also am a side sleeper and move around a lot. I find the 431 doesn't leak nearly as much as the Ultra Mirage and is very accepting of a lot of movement (mine) b4 it leaks. I don't have any experience with the Hans Rudolph.

F&P FlexiFit HC431 FF

I just got the F&P FlexiFit HC431 FF on friday. So far I like it. Minor leaks at 12cm. Slept better than with Nasal acclaim mask. I am a serous mouth breather. I need to get the heated humidifier next. I had a little bit of a dry mouth this morning. Haven't tried the other one you mentioned.

regards, Paul

I will give my review of the Hans Rudolph as soon as I get it.
