Help problems with mask

Post by Dnap » Mon Mar 05, 2012 1:36 pm

Hello if anyone could help me i would greatly appreciate it. I am on the Phillips bipap pro and using the mirage Quattro ffm large mask. I know that I prefer the full face mask however this model is too small and I need an X-large or larger I believe. I also have facial hair and would like to know an alternative full face mask that would work better for me. Thank you, dnap

There is a mask trial program that only costs $14... you could see if the large sizing is more generous and not break the bank.

Most of the mask manufacturers offer a template that you can download and use to get a better idea on size needed.
I have zero experience with full face masks and I am tiny woman to boot, so I am not much help on which mask might run larger.

I am assuming that you feel the mask itself is too small and not related to headgear size??? The Quattro offers different headgear sizes.
