I got to admit the mirage full face mask has made a drastic difference in my therapy and my well being. In the past week, I have slept over 4 hours each night with no problems and feel fully energized. I only have a little adjusting each night to minimize the air leaks then i'm off to sleep. It only took purchasing 3 masks and two chinstraps and arguing with my therapist to raise my pressure, but It all is worth it....

Some people just don't know what they're missing.....
However, to be fair......some DO (just didn't work for them).

I guess I fit into both categories...I thought that the 740 was what I needed, being a mouth-breather, etc. Got it, used it, and determined to make it work for me. I ended up with the usual problems when something just WON'T work. Now, I'm at the opposite end of masks: the 'minimalist', the CL2 Simple Cushion is working best for me now, with minor leaks at times. I'm happy that there IS such a variety offered.Some people just don't know what they're missing.....

*WARNING* Getting up on soap box...
I love the UMFF mask too... but the company that makes it jacking up the price has me a little peeved. Maybe I'll buy a couple extra ones on July 31 so I can delay the pain of shoveling all that cash into ResMed's coffers...
*off soap box*
Truly- ResMed when it comes to good products can't be beat. Everything I have is ResMed and anything else I tried just didn't work for me. And the UMFF mask is the best ResMed item of them all. I wouldn't dream of sleeping without it. (pardon the pun, there)
