Anyone want to sell a Full Face Mask?

Post by stipton » Tue Aug 28, 2012 11:15 am

I have used nasal masks for about 10 years. I have begun to sleep on my back more often. My wife tells me that when I sleep on my back, my mouth comes open, and she says "it sounds like you're dying". Since I have never used one, I hate to pay full price, just to give it a try. Anybody out there have an spare?

Couple of things... one is that the odds of just any FF mask (in any size) is unlikely to particularly fit your face... the second is that many people find back sleeping sets up for more leaks with a FF mask (myself included) rather than less... You'd be much better off to focus on sleeping off your back (using a foam wedge behind you, or other tricks) especially as back sleeping provokes more apneas than any other position.

Use a chinstrap. I have about a dozen FF masks, hardly used, that I don't use, but I would not sell them to anyone b/c selling them would be like sharing my Rx medications. I need law suits from family members of dead buyers like another hole in my head.
