Full face mask for chubby face?
Full face mask for chubby face?
Anyone know of a full mask that would fit a round chubby face? I haven't found a full mask yet that fits well.

I fear I fit that description. And I use a Quattro Full Face Mask. It works fairly well.

Which ones have you already tried?
Re: Full face mask for chubby face?
That's funny John,..as you said, me too! I use the Forma from Fisher & Paykel. Got mine from DME and the tech there said it comes with two size of cushion/seal. They have four sizes too.. S,M,L,XL.. So he sized me to be a M (size runs a little big) but it came with the L as well. I've tried the L and it is too big for me. It fits under the chin and is very light and soft no sore spots at all !! I didn't see your gender,. so if you're a male tell 'em you want the large,..and if you're female tell 'em you want the M and slip on the L when you get home..

It is not the chubbiness but the size of your nose and where your chin is that determines the fit.

Well, I have super-chipmunk cheeks. Seriously, like my eyes disappear when I smile because my cheeks are so pillow-y. I use the Hybrid (small, believe it or not!) and it works great!

Re: Full face mask for chubby face?
Same as John. The Quattro seems to fit my chubby face quite well. Some people (including me) find that the Quattro that fits them best is a size smaller than what they thought they needed.

I too have a chubby face and can vouch for the quattro. I've tried several mask, Swift, hybrid, Forma, HC431, and I'm sure it's several that I'm leaving out.

Well then no wonder the Quattro never worked for me!

I use the FullLife with a medium mask. Works for me.

I fit that too. I use nose pillows. I find they work great until recently, but I think that is more affected by my recent surgery.
