I am going to switch to the comfort full 2 full face mask tonight. I really haven't gotten as comfortable with the other mask that I have used. Granted the profile lite has been a lot better than the comfort lite; but there has to be a better fit and feel. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on this switch

I'm one of the fairly few that like this mask. I consistently get better numbers with it than any other. It's almost as comfortable as the HC431, and equal comfort to the UMFF, for me.

When I first used full face masks, I got some bridge abrasion like I think most people do. I managed it with antibiotic cream, cortisone salve, moleskin, Activ-Flex Band Aids, and rotating to a nasal mask as needed. It took about two weeks for my bridge to adapt, and it hasn't been a problem since. I had a similar "toughening up" experience with nasal pillows, so it seems to be part of the deal to me.

It's very hard to predict what mask will work for a given person, outside of gross fitting guidelines. That's why I've ended up with two drawers full of masks, but I won't need that many different types in the future.

I think the Comfort2 is noisy. if the elbow didn't have the entrainment valve incorporated I'd switch out the whole elbow with another mask, then it would probably be pretty good.

let us know what YOU think about the noise.

I got really good numbers with mine, too.....I almost thought my machine was broken. Unfortunately, I found the lower part of the seal too stiff for my chin-to-lower lip area and gave up after about 3 nights.....my UMFF was also getting jealous
I've since tried to see if I could soften it up and may give it another try. Even though mine is a Large, it doesn't quite fit around my mustache like my UMFF does.

Good luck with yours and let us know how it goes.

Like Den's experience, I have found the pressure exerted by the CF2 on my lower gums to be a problem. That's the only thing that caused me to look at other masks. I currently regard the CF2 as my default or baseline mask, but use the HC431/432 or the Hybrid as needs be in my mask rotation sequence, aiming at a 50/50 ratio of CF2/other.
