Here you go... the popular masks have a waiting list though. I think he only has one of each mask to try.
These are all used masks that were donated to the cause. Dane doesn't bill the $14 until you are next on the list to try a specific mask.

[size=200]Hello there,

Yes I tried several mask and owned several until felt nasal pillows was the way to go. As when I sleep I wiggle all over the place and with nasal mask, that cost a packet! 200-300 dollars plus !!!! So if it busted on you get a replacement can cost a lot! With pillows I don't know it's there and I unplug hose when going to the loo and replug myself when ready snooze.

On yes in some countries they have a special scheme for those who have moderate or sever sleep aponea, they give you a machine to use under the condition you have use every night and maintain it well as what you signed on the contract paper, Oh yes I forgot to tell that include cleaning the filter!.I am on a scheme and I do not have to pay rental rates for my machine. Only thing that I had buy was mask and tube. Rest was no charge as I use them every night. As without I wake up terrible!!!!!!

Ask you sleep Dr about the scheme available in your country and if you qualify.[If you do you may be Albe to reap the benefits Good luck!!!! /size]
Been on CPAP for a while.....I had moderate apenoa

I have a local sleep center I can do this at fortunately. It is not as good obviously as trying it out at home but it is still great that this service is available to me.

Anyway, this is a possibility for you?

Through CPAP.com, the return insurance varies--sometimes it is worthwhile to get it and try the mask
--it just means the first one costs a bit more (still less than DME billing);
or you can return it and only lose the insurance charge.
Sleepweaver's insurance is free (compliments of Circadience)
My darling hubby was gifted a used mask from a kind friend
--which fit beautifully--the new one fits a little different, but still great.
