Best FF Mask for use with BiPAPautoSv advanced
Can't use the Comfort Gel because it hurts the bridge of my nose, as does the UltraMirage FF. Fisher & Paykel Flex Fit doesn't work because I have no chin. I've used the Respironics Fit Life Total Face but I have a lot of leak problems with it besides the fact that I like to sleep on my side. ANy suggestions would be much appreciated.

The machine will work with most any machine. The key is to find a mask that fits your face.
Have you tried one of the hybrids? Either the Liberty or Respcare Hybrid. I love my Hybrid. Might not work for you, but you gotta try masks til you find the right one.

The Quattro FX has been a godsend for me! Get yourself the padacheek cover for them. Your results may vary.

I have been on CPAP for nearly a year. Being a mouth breather I went full face and fought with about 7 masks with severe nose bridge discomfort. The Fitlife had too many leaks and I ended up trying the Resmid Hybrid about 3 months ago and I really enjoy it compared to the other masks. My pressure is at 17. I removed the chin support, as suggested by various users, from one mouth piece and it did not work as well for me. Best buy I have found is about low $ 90 range.

If you're asking such a question you need to give more details about your face and machine pressure b/c there hundreds of mask types. Why have you tried F & P FlexiFit if you have no chin? I use the F & P #431 to supprt my chin. The #432 which uses a foam below the Silicone cushion is not strong enough to support my chin when I fall a sleep. The foam gives.saltwatertaffy wrote:Can't use the Comfort Gel because it hurts the bridge of my nose, as does the UltraMirage FF. Fisher & Paykel Flex Fit doesn't work because I have no chin.

If you are not a mouth breather I would try Resmed Mirage SoftGel Nasal mask which has a forehead support to lift it off the nose bridge. Otherwise, the Quattro FX full face could do.
