Hybrid Universal full face mask

Post by snoozeandlose » Tue Mar 25, 2008 11:02 pm

Can anyone give me any feedback on the hybrid mask. I have never used pillows and I'm afraid they will pop out or irritate my nose. Thanks.

Like any other mask it is a very individual thing. If you can get it adjusted correctly for YOU, it is a great mask. I love it! But, it won't work for everyone. Any nasal pillow mask will probably cause irritation at first, Ayr Gel helps alot with that. You won't know if it will work for you until you try it.

If they pop out easily... chances are that you need to try the next larger size of pillows.

There are some fitting instructions somewhere around... rooster wrote them. Some folks have used varying ways to tilt the pillows to work with their noses.
