Wisp - Eson, if you have tried both, how do you rate them

Post by cpapernewbie » Thu Apr 17, 2014 2:17 pm

After about 3 months with WISP and happy, I am now looking forward to try another good mask. After years with Swift from the beginning to FX, I prefer Wisp for its fit to y face, minimal footprint and no marks on skin.

Reading the web, Eson seems to be similar in terms of design and look. I would like to get opinion from folks here who have used both Wisp and Eson.

In CPAP.com these are data on both:

ESON price: $89, rating 4.3 of 5 used by 1% of customers and 33 reviews
WISP price $109, rating 4.3 of 5 used by 6% and 247 reviews

In terms of market share, it is WISP who clearly leads, but what about your personal experience?

I haven't tried both (just the Eson). It left my skin marked-up and sore. You could clearly see the outline of the mask on my face until the afternoon. After about 4 days of continuous use, it left me with marks underneath my nose that didn't go away for 21 days after I stopped using Eson. I was beginning to worry that the marks were permanent, but after 3 weeks, they began to fade and now they're totally gone. I also woke up several times during the night bc it was Leak City.

But as I'm sure you know, every mask is different on every person based on a host of different factors. That was just my experience w/the Eson.

I tried the Wisp but not the Eson. I liked the Wisp but found myself removing it during the night. It seemed like the nose cushion pressed too hard on tip of my nose. It was size S/M but then only offered L which was too big.

Since you likely still have the Swift FX nasal pillow headgear...have you looked at the Swift FX Nano cushion?
It will fit on the Swift FX headgear so all you would need to get would be the Nano cushion.

I can't help with comparing the Wisp to the ESON...I have tried the Wisp and the Nano but never the ESON. The ESON never tripped my interest trigger so never bothered to try it.

Thank you kindly for all the comments from gsbuck524, windycity of chicago & Pugsy


Pugsy: yes I still reserve my Swift FX as backup and have one new cushion ready. In future, yes, I will just buy the Nano's cushion and se how it will work out. However my problem with Swift is that after years of using swift, my nostrils are not taking it any more. I become painful for me to use Swift.... that's why Swift is not downgraded to backup only...

gsbuck524: after 7 years I still automatically remove my mask when waking up. Cannot help it. Hope that one day we have mask so natural that we are not even aware of it...

windycity: I am sorry about your problem with Eson. Glad that you find one that you can sleep with....
