the Micro Mirage face mask?

I have been having problems with my Ultra Mirage 2 and my DME switched it out for the Micro Mirage for me for free.

Haven't used it yet...just looking for opinions.

Doesn't look like anyone has used it so I thought I would provide an update.
Been using the Mirage Micro nasal mask for a few nights now and I like it!!

Doesn't require as much tension on the headgear to keep it sealed and the dial on the forehead really works for adjusting it. Plus no more nose pain.

Hi, Rumor. I'm sorry I didn't see this thread when you made your original post. I recently received the Resmed Mirage Micro as well. And I, too, like it very much.

The bridge of the nose area has always been a problem for me, as well as the length from bridge of nose to under the nose. Most every mask I tried I needed an XSmall or a Petite. The Micro Small is working great for me.

Another mask I like (the Micro is my second favorite) is the Respironics Simplicity simple nasal cushion. Its one of Respironics' oldest masks (I use the Petite) and I had to do a bit of a "fix" w/the center strap of the headgear as the headgear was WAY too large but it is so lightweight and totally flexible at the forehead/bridge of nose area that it didn't take me long to decide to do the "fix" and keep the Simplicty.

It was just PURE LUCK when I was switched from CPAP to bi-level that my sleep doctor also took it upon himself to order the Micro at the same time. I'm sure glad he did!! IF ONLY they made the Quattro one size shorter (smaller) I'd be in 7th Heaven!

I have the Micro Mirage. Got it a few weeks ago and really like it. I also have the Simplicity. I used the Simplicity at my original sleep study, 5+ years ago, and still go back to it once in awhile. They are very similar masks but the Simplicity is much lighter and the forehead piece, with just the straps, does not cause the problem of the forehead piece on the Micro. I put a couple of pieces of moleskin on the forehead piece of the Micro and it really helped. The dial for the forehead piece is a real plus! I wear the small in both masks and I like them both.
