Hi All,

I would like some input on the Comfor Curve nasal mask. Does anyone have it and how is it? Any tips? Thanks~

Hello -

In my opinion, it is an ok mask, great for people who sleep on their backs only and don't mind red marks on their cheeks. Unfortunately, I start sleeping on my back, and end up on my side - with this mask, when I move, it loses it's seal and starts leaking. And, the red marks aren't pretty. There are other posts with several different suggestions of what to put on the cheek pads (moleskin, pantiliners - not kidding), and apparently the manufacturer has also come out with a foam replacement pad (which I haven't bothered to get).

For me, it's not worth investing any more time or effort into it. I bought mine used (once) and I used it for a week. I didn't bother trying to sell it, because I don't know how used is too used. If you are interested, I would sell it cheap. PM me.

Sleep well,
Tash

I got one in October and have used it ever since -exclusively. I really like it. I have no problems with the cheek pads, when they are set right. I am back sleeper so this may be what makes it so good for me.

I have one, and yes, it is great for back sleeping, but does leak on side sleeping, unless you adjust it just right off the pillow edge. Of course if you move much, it is useless.

I heard it actually works better if you put the headgear on upside-down. No kidding. That's somewhere here on the forum.

I have one and use it as a kind of back-up for my Ultra Mirage FFM; however, I find that I have to really carefully adjust it in order to sleep on my side. On a scale of 1-10, I give it a 6.

I tried it for only one night. My experience was negative. If it moved out of position, it tended to block my nostrils. Plus, I found the pressure from the cheek pads to be excessive and uncomfortable.

Brenda, the CC didn't work for me. Leaked like crazy whenever I turned onto my side.

Here's some interesting reading pro and con, and possible fixes for the CC:
