Best full face mask for high pressures

Post by Didi » Sun Oct 23, 2016 7:43 pm

I am having trouble finding a full face mask that will not leak with my relatively high (6.5/17) Bipap pressures. The Amara view is reasonable, but it make the underside of my nose quite sore. I have been on Bipap for 16 years now, but have only just started to sleep on my back. Previously I have used the Activa nasal mask which worked fine.
Any recommendations please??

Is the Activa no longer available?
Why the change in sleeping position?

I needed to change to my back because I now need to be lifted into bed with a lifter. I have advanced CMT disease. With the Avtiva, my mouth would open during the night..

Quattro with an Anti Leak strap works well
