I want to use a mask that covers both my nose and mouth, but is not as bulky as a full-face mask. I'm trying to decide between these two masks:
Resmed Mirage Liberty - https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... dgear.html
InnoMed Hybrid - https://www.cpap.com/productpage/RespCa ... -Mask.html
What are the pros and cons of each? Which one do you like better?

Re: Which Mask Do You Like Better?
The Innomed Hybrid comes with different sizes of masks.
I believe you have to decide ahead of time which size you want with the ResMed. For that reason alone I would suggest trying the Hybrid because you won't know which size works best till you try.
Several people here have tried both and can give you some personal input. Rooster especially can help you and I expect he will chime in. I believe he uses the Hybrid.
Some people like the Liberty better but for a first time try, the Hybrid offers more options initially regarding fit.

Re: Which Mask Do You Like Better?
I have the Liberty and tried the Hybrid for a week.
The Liberty mouth part only comes in small and large, but the nasal pillows come in small, medium and large. I have a a very small nose and mouth, so went with the small.
I found the Liberty comfortable, but being a newbie wasn't sure HOW comfortable so gave the Hybrid a try as well.
For ME, the Liberty is much more comfortable, but I tried the Hybrid because so many here said they liked it better.
cheers,
