Help Choosing a Mask

I use the Comfort Classic and I find it comfortable to wear. However, it does have its frustrations. As mentioned, every time you clean it you will need to reattach the head gear. What I find especially frustrating is this mask is molded out of two pieces of plastic. So while you can clean what you can get to, over a longer period of time stuff will get between the two pieces of plastic. I'm not sure if it's an issue, but it doesn't look great.

I'm surprised that nobody came up with the suggestion to try the Hybrid mask. I'm using it since 4 months now and I'm satisfied with it. No additional problem of taping your mouth or wearing a chin strap if you tend to sleep with your mouth open. I think it is the best alternative if you cannot get used to a full face mask. I had an initial problem with the headgear, but I got a new one which works well now.

I think the Hybrid is the best mask ever made. Just my opinion after over 14 masks.

Thanks Digidan!

I guess reattaching the headgear is lousy but
overall It still sounds good.
I think I will try it but I am not sure of the size
to buy. Everyone seems to buy the bigger mask
and then they find out they need the small one!

I have an Ultra Mirage FF mask, how is it different? I wanted to give
a plain nasal mask a try and see if I like it. I don't think that
I breath out of my mouth but I am not sure.

Thanks,

Dana

Thanks Neverbetter!

I am still waffling about my decision, but I think I would
like to try a less intrusive plain nasal mask.

The UMFF fits over your nose and the top edge sits on your nose, and has the forhead stabilizer... the hybrid is a mixture of nasal pillows and a full face mask. This means that it doesn't sit on top of your nose, and nothing on your forehead.

I've tried just about every mask available and I love the breeze nasal interface. I use it as it comes but Roberto (Dreamstalker has a knockout remake that is the bomb) he knows what he's talking about,,, good luck

Thanks for the input whatrdreamsmadeof!

I let the chips fall where they may and I just ordered a Comfort Classic.
