Does anyone use the amara full face mask

[Hopefull]

Was interested in feedback on the amara full face mask

I tried one.
It was fairly comfortable, but was not my shape--I'm weird, though.

Tried it for 3 nights and it KILLED the bridge of my nose - very comfortable though. If I have to use again I would consider additional padding for nose.

I have one and so far so good. I currently have a full beard and mustache and it still seals pretty well. I plan on shaving and I feel that it will seal even better. To me it is very comfortable and causes no pain on the bridge of my nose. The only thing I get is an indention where the forehead support sits. It does not hurt and is generally gone after 30 or so minutes after taking the mask off.

Hi, Hopeful--

My husband is having some success with an Amara. He has a high bridge that was severely irritated by his previous mask (a Mirage Quattro). The thing that seems best about the Amara is that it has what amounts to a double seal and the part of the seal that contacts his face is very soft and supple.

Someone on the forum gave us some great advice about trying moleskin (available at wallyworld) to cushion/protect the bridge of the nose, which we're going to try for the first time tonight.

The interesting thing about this mask is that although my hubby has a large face and a high bridge, he actually needs a MEDIUM in this mask, instead of a large. According to what I've seen online, smaller seals better (as long as it properly fits the face). My husband thought the medium might be too small, tried a large, and hardly slept at all because of constant leaks. He went back to the medium and so far, it's been the best thing he's tried (about his fourth mask, I think).

According to his machine's chip, he has 0 leaks with this mask. It seems finding the right mask for yourself is a matter of trial and error--there are just so many factors to consider (cheekbones--high or low, nose shape, bridge height, cheek roundness, chin protrusion, muscularity, etc.) Good luck with your search!

UPDATE: One more thing: it's VERY easy to clean--the seal is integrated into the mask, so you just "pop" the whole mask off the headgear frame in order to wash it. Much, much easier than having to remove and replace a seal each time you clean a mask (like we had to do on all his previous ones).
