RESMED MIRAGE QUATTRO FF VS. RESMED MIRAGE MICRO

Post by flutterby11 » Wed Nov 28, 2012 10:10 am

I wore a Resmed Mirage Quattro full face last night. Even though my machine says the mask fit was good, I woke up way to many times to adjust the mask due to a leak at the bridge of my nose. It was a quick fix, but way to many of them. How do others like the Resmed Mirage Micro or Softgel. I feel like this mask might be much better because it won't have to cover such a large surface area of my face. I thought I was a mouth breather but I think the mask has fixed that.

How did the mask "fix" your mouth breathing? There are fixes for the mask problems you are encountering. If you have the correct size, then you should try the mask liners or nose pads. Go to http://www.padacheek.com. If you are a mouth breather you will not get the proper therapy with a nasal mask.
