Best Masks

Post by daBee » Mon Jun 22, 2020 10:28 am

Hi folks.

I have a nasal mask that ain't doing it for me. Any recommendations on getting something better? Left nostril is being a bit of a bitch, so I thought something that covers my mouth as well.

I have a Resmed Airsense 10. Not sure if that changes anything.

Looking for some advice/experience. Cheers

It's a personal choice...the best mask for me could be a disaster for you.

Full face masks (FFMs - covers nose and mouth) are for users who breathe or leak air through the mouth. For users that keep their lips sealed, it's best to use a nasal mask due to the smaller footprint.

You can study different models of masks with specs and reviews at the forum sponsor's website - cpap.com.

Have you been examined by an ENT recently?

No examination. I will go have a look at cpap.com.

Cheers
