[quote="weirichk"]I had the same problems finding a mask, and still am not completely satisfied. I tried a couple and currently use a Fisher & Paykel 432. I still get leaks especially after about 6 hours of sleeping (it seems that my skin gets wet and the seal doesn't hold as well). I am running 23/...

[quote="glfredrick"]I'm at 16 with a Resmed Quatro FF. No problems at that pressure. I'd think that it could take 18. I don't even have it cinched down tight right now. Took me all of 3 days to get used to it. Either I'm built just right, ot it is a great mask, in any case I like it.

Thanks to everyone for your responses. As mentioned earlier in the thread, I've had an UMFF mask for quite some time now but can't use it due to the problems it causes my nose bridge. I did take the "pad-a-cheek" advice and ordered one. I'll see how that works out. Thanks again everyone.

I have tried the UMFF at 18 but only in test runs where I was awake and moved around to different positions to simulate sleeping. I would guess it would work fine but it would have to be cinched pretty tight. I measure out for a large UMFF but I have both a medium and a large and the medium seals b...

FF Mask for Settings 18 or higher

Hello Everyone: I have spent more money than I care to admit in an attempt to find a full face mask that actually works as claimed and can stand up to my top end machine setting of 18. Is there anyone out there who's setting is 18 or more and is having continued success with a particular full face m...

Review Suggestion

For those who post a review of a mask, it would be very helpful to many of us if you would always try to remember to include your machine's uppermost setting. I'm sure many masks work fine at lower to moderate settings but can not handle higher settings such as mine which is 18. Thanks!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I am aware of the return insurance CPAP.com offers on most masks - but not on the Tiara. And, when I originally purchased most of my masks, they did not offer this. I am intrigued by the Yara Snoredog. I will take a close look at it when time permits. I did order th...

Hi, just for the record, I've had agents at 1-2 online companies tell me it's not a popular mask at all (don't know why). It looked good to me too at one point, but I kept checking, ended up with the new FP Flexifit 432 and it's great. Thanks Julie. If I may ask, what is your maximum cm (air volume...

Tiara Full Advantage Full Face Mask

I am seriously considering this mask - since I've tried sooooooooooo many others with limited or no success. I tend to be a mouth breather. Can't tolerate taping and can barely tolerate chin straps so FF masks seem to be my best option. I use a ResMed Vpap III machine which has given me good service...

Up until this past weekend when I got my new Mirage Swift, I would have said the Activa. I've had the best overall results of any mask (and I've tried a bunch) with the Activa. However, it does tend to sit kinda heavy on the schnoz. Since I've spent over $1,000 out of pocket this year on different m...

Re: HAS ANYONE TRIED THE COMFORTCURVE NASAL INTERFACE

I am thinking of purchasing a new mask & I would like your opinions on the restronics comfortcurve nasal interface. I like the comfort of the mask - it is unobtrusive and lightweight. However, for me, with a pressure setting of 18, I find I have to keep my face kind of "buried" against the pillow t...

Comfort Curve Modification

It was mentioned here some time ago that the manufacturer had made some modification(s) to the Comfort Curve - the headstrap perhaps? And, that it was being offered to current owners. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Does anyone know if this truly is the case? Mine has been collecting dust in the ...
