What's The Best Full Face Mask In Your Opinion?

[AstralSurfer11]

Hey everyone,

I mouth leak whenever I use nasal pillows so I'm going to switch to full face mask. I've used the Mirage Quattro in the past but I didn't really get results with it.

I was wondering which one you guys think is best. Sorry if there's already a thread on this, if there is one if someone could link me to it I'd be grateful.

Thank you!

Just put key words in the search bar...

And the best mask is the one that fits YOU and works for you.

A lot of people seem to like the F&P Simplus model.

I like it too! Well made, and good seal. Cushion is relatively inexpensive to replace, and seems to last a while.

Easy to clean, and quite silent (vents). Currently heavily discounted on cpap.com

I use the Simplus for several months, but now use the Amara View which I like better. As previously stated, the best mask is what works for you. Every one has differences in the shape of their face and what position they sleep in. What works for one person may not work for someone else.

Try the Resmed F10. When it first came out, cpap.com could not keep them on the shelf. I don't know if that's still the case. The good thing about the F10 is it doesn't have a nasty fore head brace.

I have been using the F20 for a couple weeks; not sure I am completely sold on it but as I am getting used to it, it seems to be getting better and better.

I use both the P&K Simplus and the Resmed Quattro. Both are good. The Simplus is easiest to take off and on and very easy to clean. It is comfortable and doesn't leak. However, it doesn't hold my mouth closed very well so I swallow a lot of air which causes discomfort, sometimes quite bad. The Quattro is more fussy with the forehead adjustment and harder to clean. It is very comfortable when properly adjusted and doesn't leak. It also holds my mouth closed better so I swallow much less air which is a major advantage. Biggest problem with the Quattro, which I haven't been able to solve, is it hurts the bridge of my nose so I can only wear for a few days then have to let the bruises heal. I haven't tried the newest ResMed mask. Maybe it will be better.

I prefer a nasal pillows mask but couldn't agree more with those who say...

the best mask is the one that fits YOU and works for you.

Flight: I was just checking out the F20. To me, it looks like a beefed-up F10. Is that your impression?

The one that fits and works for you.

Most users list what mask they are using, that is the one they currently find best.

Here's the thing. What works for me (F&P 431) may NOT work for you. And what works for you may not work for me. I have tried a LOT of FFM masks and always come back to the 431. I tried the Simplus and used it for a while, but ultimately went back to the 431.

There are several people that will tell you the 431 is crap and worthless and maybe to them, that's true. But it's the ONLY FFM I've ever used consistently so...crap or not, it works for me.

In my opinion, the F&P Simplus mask has a few advantages compared to the Resmed F10 or F20:

* the hose elbow moves in all directions (ball type). The Resmed connector just rotate
* the exhaust holes on the Simplus are better located (high). The Resmed exhaust holes are located around the hose elbow, and therefore can be felt a lot more

I used the Quattro for a year with the ResMed 10, it's also cutting into my face so now I'm trying the F20 but it has a different elbow to the tube and I find I may not breathe as well. I'll wait a while and then maybe go in to Reliable Respiratory and get fitted and maybe exchange them.
