Re: changing mask companys HELP
Not sure about Canada, but it's your responsibility to find a mask that you are comfortable with. Go to mask suppliers and try on as many masks as possible until you find one that fits. There are basically 4 types of masks. Nasal pillows, Nasal Mask, Full Face Mask and Total Face Mask. You can go to cpap.com and see pictures and descriptions of each mask.
