FFM Suggestions

Post by Eeyore_1 » Wed Sep 29, 2010 9:03 am

I'm looking for a back up FFM to use in case of illness or if my other one breaks down. For those of you (women especially) with smaller faces what is your favorite FFM?

I like the F&P 431. It has a "shelf" for my chin to rest on so I won't mouth breathe.

RespCare Hybrid Universal FFM...I wear the small cushion as I have a narrow jaw structure and large pillows as I prefer the most air I can get thru the pillows . Mask comes with 3 sizes of oral cushion and 3 sizes of pillows that can be adjusted to 2 heights, headgear has a top of the head strap that helps anchor the pillows: lots to play with to find the best fit for your face.

If the Hybrid (lots of here wear it) doesn't fit well, then it's possible the ResMed Liberty will -- often, if the one hybrid style doesn't fit, the other one will.
ResMed S9 range 9.8-17, RespCare Hybrid FFM

Both pof these are in a very good price range. The hybrid mask is one of the ones that I was looking at. I'm glad to hear that you have good luck with it, that's a positive.
