masks

I have just been diagnosed with OSA and am wondering if anybody can help me with a mask that will suit someone with a beard?

Hi Lumpy,
I think the reason you haven't gotten any responses is that this is an often discussed subject. Use search and put in beard and mask as keywords. You'll find much information.

I have a beard and get a fair seal using a Quattro FF with a home-made T shirt gasket.

If you don't need to mouth breathe.....check out my profile and click on the link to the nasal pillow mask that I use.
