Think it's the new type (not sure what the difference is). He's only had this mask for a month or so. Didn't know what price to put on it. I'm just looking for reasonable offers. As far as a better mask he went with the activa because he sleeps on his back. The breeze is a good mask but not if you s...

Breeze for sale

My husband has found his dream mask and therefore the Breeze is not needed. He only used it for a week and even then only for an hour or two at a time (he kept taking it off). This mask is a great mask but not good for back sleeping. He's moved on to the Activa and the Breeze is just taking up space...

My husband used the sizing tool for his activa and he got a large. It fits fine. So it worked for him.

Thanks Rested Gal!!!!

After 15 years of marriage I finally got my husband in for a sleep study (had no clue until recently that insurance covered this) for suspected sleep apnea (I'd watched him sleep so I had a pretty good idea.) I was actually excited when he flunked the sleep study so he could get the cpap. I was worr...

Peels, Thanks but don't give me too much credit. I've been married for almost 15 years and quite frankly I'm high energy and am ready for my husband to come back to life. He does okay with energy (lots of coffee helps) but I hate to see him relying on stimulants. We have 3 small children and I want ...

Don't know but we are about to try. Am getting ready to order my husband the large Activa based on using that guide. I tried calling cpap but the doofus on the phone wasn't all that helpful.

My husband has the Breeze and it's not working for him. He sleeps on his back and moves around too much. The Breeze is not good if you do these things. It hurts his nose if it's tight enough to stay on and it leaks if he sleeps on his back. This is his first mask so yeah another rookie here too. He'...

Which of these 4 masks would you pick?

My husband hates the breeze (his first mask). He sleeps on his back and tosses and turns. This mask is not good for either of these things. We are going to order the activa to try next. Think he's a size large but I haven't done the research to find out what the difference between shallow and large ...

Aura vs Activa

I've read a lot of old posts and am really thinking the next mask my husband should try is the aura. I don't have a ton of money so right now one more mask is all I can do until we save up. My husband keeps thinking he'd like to try the activa but I'm afraid of the claustrophobic feel of it. He trie...

Thanks!! I'm off to print pictures of these and let my husband see which one he wants to try next.

I'm leaning toward the Aura because it gets really good reviews here.

Best mask if you toss and turn

Okay lets try this again. LOL!! My husband HATES the breeze with a passion. Has pretty much given up trying to wear it. It either comes out of his nose or hurts it. I've watched him fight with this thing so I get it. If it's adjusted right to be comfortable then as soon as he rolls over to his back ...

By breaking the seal...my husband means the Breeze is essentially falling away from his nose then he gets this hissing sound and it wakes him up (and me too). He keeps having to reposition it all night long (he tosses and turns). If he gets the Breeze tight enough for it to stay on then it hurts his...

More problems with mask...need suggestions for new one

This question is for my husband. He has the puritan breeze mask. At first it hurt his nose so bad that he was taking it off in the middle of the night without even knowing it. I came here and got instructions on how to adjust it and it worked. Thanks... But now he has a new problem. If it doesn't hu...

Okay the full mask that he couldn't use in the lab did just cover his nose. He said it was comfortable but it kept losing the seal causing him to wake suddenly, freaking out, feeling claustrophibic and almost panic because he couldn't breathe. So I was wrong it didn't cover his mouth. They switched ...

It's Puritan Bennette mask system, Breeze sleepgear mask
