Quattro FX ----OK for beards??

[thomzeyl]

Have been following the posts on the new Resmed Quattro FX mask with interest. Currently I use a medium sized Quattro FFM along with a liner (Pad-a-cheek liner), which still gives me occasional mask "farts" . Typical AHI 0.7

I have a mustache and beard, kept short by choice, (and grey, not by choice....:~)

Am thinking of trying the Quattro FX. Anyone with facial hair tried it, and, if so, what about the fit and seal?

How about sizing with a beard??

Any info appreciated

I have used the FX since I started on xpap. I started with a large as I was in between what the gauge wanted. I used this for 3 weeks until the leaks got the best of me. I have since traded the large for the medium and for the last 3 nights have controlled the leaks.
I have a beard and mustache which I keep trimmed close. I think this mask is for back sleepers, but it works for side sleepers if you wear the mask tighter than recommended.

Best Regards

Sounds promising so far...
