Thinking of changing masks

Post by ErnieH » Mon Mar 29, 2021 11:36 am

I love the ResMed P10 but hate the stretchable headgear. Has anyone gone from the ResMed P10 to the Fisher & Paykel Brevida? If you have, please share your thoughts on the Brevida.

Thanks

You're about to get a bunch of recommendations to try the Bleep mask. I'll be first.

No straps at all.

I went from the Brevida to the P10.
For me the P10 was/is superior.
I just keep extra head gear on hand. Wash several at a time and keep them handy, They will shrink after a wash and last several cycles for me.

So no help from me. :)

Bleep! I tried upwards of 15 masks before the Bleep finally came out. Haven't needed to try another one since. Quite simply the best!

My husband, on the other hand, loves the P10 (I LOATHE that mask!). He made me try it THREE times (does that mean I actually tried 18 masks? :lol: ), and I could never tolerate it. Mask choice truly is YMMV. What works for one person will not necessarily work for another!

Forgot to say. I just saw a video review over the weekend where someone posted that you could actually use the headgear for the N30 mask on the P10. NOT the N30i, that is very different! The N30 headgear is similar to the P10 headgear, but is adjustable. If you decide not to change, you may want to look into that. (My hubby is resistant to change, so I'm not sure he would consider even that minor a change. Maybe if I ordered the heargear and just switched it out...? :lol: He's also not terribly observant!)

I can verify the the N30 strap works fine on the P10.

I just noticed as I was looking for other CPAP supplies that you can buy all the parts you need off Amazon to build just about any mask, but you can’t buy the mask because of prescription issue. I am going to order a N30 strap to go on my P10.
