Which One Of These Masks Do You Recommend?

Post by MudHappy » Wed Jul 26, 2017 2:44 pm

I have been using a 3b aerie nasal mask since I started bi-pap, which was in January. A piece broke on my mask, and I have decided to go with a new one. Out of these, which one would you recommend, and why?

Eson2 by Fisher and Paykel
Mirage Fx for her by Resmed
N20 nasal mask
Dreamwear nasal mask by Respironics

Thanks for your input!

Go to cpap.com and look at the masks and read the hundreds of reviews from the actual users.

Dreamwear with the gel pillows

comfortable
hose on top of head so easy hose management
can sleep in any position, the gel pillows help keep it all aligned.
minimal leaks

Thank you both! I went to the website and looked. I think I want to go with the Mirage FX.

I would recommend getting the return insurance from http://www.cpap.com. I have used it 3 times, and had to return 2 of the masks because they didn't fit. Their return insurance is a great thing to use when unfamiliar with the mask you are ordering.

second the return insurance.

The site I bought my Brevida from offered full refund/exchange 30 days at no extra cost.
I liked the mask so I kept it.
I have since switched to the Dreamwear but its nice to know the Brevida is sealed in my nightstand if I ever have problems.

Be like Goldilocks.
Try them all.
Keep the one that is "just right".
