Anyone having issues with the FullLife Full Face Mask?

Post by TravLikes » Fri Apr 09, 2010 1:00 pm

My Sleep Doc suggested this for my first mask replacement. In the clinic it was very comfy but when I tried sleeping with it I could not get it to seal. It also shifted really easilly and the top of the headset was popping off. I'm lucky if I got a full hour sleep on Tuesday night. I'm so grateful I still have the Resmed Quatro which I find very solid and pretty comfy.

Are there any tricks to making the mask stay in place and not leak so much without over tightening the headgear?

Thanks.

I used the FullLife when I first started, but my leak rate was never acceptable with it... nothing would get it to work for me, and if you do a search on the forum, I think you'll find that many of us had this issue with that mask.

Ahh, so there's a history of dislike with this one. Again I'm so thankful to have the Quattro.

Maybe I'll just sell this off when I get another replacement.
