Wondering what people are using for masks with high pressures? Thanks in advance.

I'm new with this, but "high pressures" seems to be a matter of opinion from posts I've read: what pressure ranges are you asking about?

Once you get to 'high pressures", (mid to upper 20s) your mask choices start to become limited, though strangely, my P10 nasal pillows are handling the occasional 22ish pressure without a problem, though they're only officially rated to 20.

I have an asv machine with pressures up to 22. I use a nasal mask currently. Not real high leaks but always trying to improve.

I successfully used the F & P Simplus and the Amara View when my pressure setting was 20 to 25 with a PS of 5. I now use the Dreamwear full face mask with my pressure running 16 to 18 with a PS of 4.

Dreamwear gel pillows for pressure up to 24.
