Input from Vista Nasal Mask Users Please

[SleepyJoeMS]

I've finally settled on the Activa LT as my main mask. For an upcoming insurance mask replacement cycle, I'm thinking of trying something else. I have considered trying the Swift LT and see if I can make a pillow work. Since I had problems with a swift II after my titration though, I thought I might try a different nasal mask, so I have some variety when things just don't seem to be "working". In this long list, the ResMed Vista looks interesting in particular, that the cushion seems to minimally go up the bridge. This looks promising at minimizing eye leaks. I'm a light, side sleeper though and wonder how this one would do on its side. Also, the big plus for me with the activa is the looser head gear requirements it needs. I seem very sensitive to tight head gear.

So, any input on the Vista would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Joe, I've never used that type of mask I was using a ffmask and getting a lot of leaks had it for a couple of yrs. I just
bought the OPILIFE Mask and I love it I have a problem with the head gear on top of my head but this mask works
out perfect, Hope what ever you get helps you,

I thought the Vista Nasal Mask looked promising....but I based on the CPAP.com sizing guide, I ordered one with a deep cushion.....it leaks horribly, I think I was supposed to get it with a standard cushion. I've been debating whether I will order the standard cushion to find out. Guess it depends the next time I'm placing an online order and need to get something to push me over the free shipping threshold. Might be a while away, since my next order from cpap.com will likely be an HC150.

I'm still curious to see how it works, though I'm currently pretty happy with my CL2 and if I were to be looking for an alternate mask...it would be a full face one. Though I haven't figured out if it'll be a hybrid or not....not sure hybrid would do any good, since my nose won't be working too well. But, I'm worried about hurting the nose bridge again.

One thing that concerns me now is the there's a lot of mask on the sides...stiff....not sure how that presents itself when my head flops to one side or the other (while sleeping on my back).

I also own another nasal mask that I haven't used yet....don't know when I'll get around to trying that one.
