mirage quattro vs mirage softgel full face mask
I have the mirage quattro and I have to make it so tight not to leak, that I take it off during the night. Has anyone went from this mask to the softgel, and did it work better? my current sttings are 20/14. I've only been on machine one month...

Re: mirage quattro vs mirage softgel full face mask
In fact, I find that the while it might seem the soft gel would be gentle against your face, it is actually quite firm against the face. If you need to apply any pressure at all, it cuts off the airflow.
By the way, to see if you will have problems with something pressing against your face, place your fingers along side both sides of your note, press down and try to breathe. I find that cuts off most of my ability to breathe through my nose. The soft gel mask only acted like my fingers and cut off my airflow. The Quattro puts a LOT less pressure against my face.
Hope that helps.
