nasal pillow mask that doesn't blow air out front

Post by jootee » Wed Aug 13, 2014 5:55 pm

I have a swift fx nasal mask I like but the vents blow strong out front and that causes me a few issues. Is there a nasal pillow that has a more difused vent or one that doesn't blow right in the front?

I'm a huge fan of the P10 but the headgear only fits "most". It is so light and open...

Yes....and it's amazing. I have to put my hand about an inch from the vent holes and then I can only barely feel the air moving.
I have been using it since it was released in Jan of this year.
The ResMed AirFit P10 nasal pillow mask. Diffused venting.

The F & P Pilairo Q also has diffused venting but since you are already using the Swift FX I bet you would do well with the P10.

The pillows are made differently. I have used the Optilife myself and probably would take a Petite or Small in it (didn't like it well enough to invest much time or effort in finding out exactly which size worked best) and I take a Small in the P10. In the Swift FX I could use the XSmall or Small.

If you are thinking of buying out of pocket cpap.com has it with free return insurance so if you hate it you can get your money back.
They will even send you a prepaid shipping label to send it back. They just have to have it back within 30 days.
A no brainer if you were going to order it online anyway.
