Re: Protecting Forehead with Mirage Quattro FF

Re: Protecting Forehead with Mirage Quattro FF

Yes --I've played with it. Comfortable is one thing and non-leaking is another... The mask seems determined to blast your eyes with air, so I seem to have to keep that dial turned to the max. I haven't tried the liner and/or cheek pad route yet. I get the idea of the mask floating on the face concep...

Protecting Forehead with Mirage Quattro FF

Hi, folks. Newbie trying to get a mask that does not damagae (a) nose (b) eyes (ie, dry eyes), (c) face, and that also actually works. Seem to be making headway with Mirage Quattro Full Face.

Re: New AMARA FF Mask - size petite

I also have new AMARA after problems with nose bridge and leaks on the FullLife Fullfit. Reading the comments here and seeing a lot about Pad-A-Cheek mask liner. Can someone say more about what this is and how you use it?

Thanks and best regards,

Bob

Nose pads for nosde bridge problems?

Hi, folks. Anyone had luck with nose pads? My FullLife Fullfit mask is pretty good but having what seem to be common "bridge of nose problems." Has anyone solved this with nose pad options? Also, a side note. The Respironics Premium Tubing - 6ft. is very long for me; lots of extra tubing. Know of an...

Re: FF Cpap Mask that doesn't hurt nose bridge

I tried Mirage and after that didn't work at all, I sort of grew to like "FullLife Full Face CPAP Mask with Headgear." Compared to the full face mirage product, I came to see the wisdom of many adjustable straps. The trick for me is to not get it too tight, sleep on the side, strap placement.... BUT...
