I returned the nasal pillows once I got the Amara View, so right now my only mask options are the Amara View or the F&P. It was sometime last spring when I switched to the Amara View, maybe late March or early April. I actually don't think I've looked at what the leak data looked like from then. Ini...

I haven't tried a cervical collar, but could check that out. It wouldn't interfere with the mask positioning, so I'd just need to be able to get into a comfortable sleeping position with it. For the nasal pillows, it's only a resistance to the chin strap. I actually liked the first nasal pillows I t...

@bonjour - I may need to look into nasal pillows with a chin strap again. I didn't like it the first time, but maybe I just need to try out more styles of chin straps. For some reason I have an emotional resistance to them though. I'm totally fine with using a mask, but for some reason the chin stra...

Thanks for your thoughts, Pugsy. I have a mask liner for the Amara View because it was causing acne like breakouts - my DME called it "pressure necrosis". I've only had the F&P for a week and haven't tried ordering a liner for it. I'm not sure I want to spend money on a liner if I might return the m...

I am in the hunt for a new FFM that will stop some of the leaks I'm currently experiencing and wanted to see if anyone has some recommendations on what I could based on what I've used and the problems I've ran into. A little background - I was diagnosed with sleep apnea a year ago and I've been stru...

I currently use the Amara View as my main mask and I haven't had any major complaints with it. It's easy to fit/tighten the straps and feels light on your face. I do feel like it can be a little difficult to get it positioned just right under my nose and it sometimes shifts around depending on my sl...

Hi everyone, I'm 4 weeks into my CPAP treatment and I'm starting to feel a bit discouraged. I welcomed the sleep apnea diagnosis because I had been so tired for so long. I was so relieved to finally have a reason and a pretty clear path to better sleep. At first, I noticed a small, but very clear im...

I'm one day behind you and have only been using my CPAP for 6 nights. I kinda feel the same - it's going okay, but I haven't seen a huge improvement yet. I also feel lucky that I'm not having major problems getting used to my mask. It was uncomfortable the first night, but then I adjusted the fit a ...
