Mask Size Comparison

Post by maineultraclassic » Wed Aug 10, 2011 6:26 pm

How do the different brands of masks compare in size?

I'm currently using the standard Zest mask, and it's too small. So I'm thinking of getting the Zest Plus mask which is bigger.

But, I've read the reviews of the ResMed Mirage Gel mask and they also offer a large size.

So my question is, How does the Large ResMed compare in size to the Plus size of the Zest?

Thanks for any help,

Steve

You can call the manufacturer and ask how the sizes compare--height, width, depth.
Contact info can usually be Googled. Good luck!

They are from different manufactures, so getting direct comparisons from them will be difficult.

I need a longer and wider nasal mask, and from looking at the sizing chart for the Zest mask.....the Plus may fit that bill.
But after reading how comfortable the ResMed Mirage SoftGel mask is, I'm intrigued to try it out but I want to make sure the large is actually larger. It looks on the sizing chart that it's just wider, and not longer.

Hoping someone here can help me out with some experience with the 2 masks.

I just printed the sizing charts for both masks in question, and the Zest plus is the bigger of the 2. I think I'll have to order one and see for myself if it is.

Cpap.com sells return insurance.
Cost varies a LOT, but the cost can also be an indicator of how often the mask fits--or not.
Buying the insurance is a personal choice--but it can reduce your losses.
