Every since the first time I laid eyes on this mask, I have wanted it. I would like to order soon, but need to make sure and order the correct size. I have seen the sizing from here (good prices by the way):

Does anyone have the dimensions for the plastic mouth sizing pieces (all 3): I would like to get 2 measurements in the following in the pic:
thanks

Funny you should ask - I just got off the phone with Respironics.
Go to their website:
http://www.respironics.com - click on Products, find the mask you're looking for (they are in alphabetic order) and you'll find a lot of good info on sizing.
Or, at the bottom of the page is a link for "contact us" that will give you the phone number for them.
I asked them to send the sizing sheet for the Fitlife Total face mask which I'm chomping at the bit to get!
Good luck!

I took a look at Respironics' website. The geniuses do not have the FullLife up yet.

It's there but not in the alpha listing as "Full life" - click on "Mask Family" and it's in there.
I had a tough time finding it too.

I looked at the Mask Family page, and just did so again. Can't find it.
Is this like the Waldo puzzles?

Yep, it is - and the pieces are moving. I just went back in to verify what I told you and the only one showing now is the ComfortFull. Likewise, while there is a FITLIFE mask showing in the alpha section, the Total mask showing in the Mask Family is a whole different beast. So, you are right - it's a find waldo kind of puzzle. Best to use the contact us feature and have them send you the sizing chart/sheet. In the case of the Fitlife it's a plastic sheet with a cut-out in the center.

FitLife and FullLife are two completely different masks.
Sleep well and live better!

I am considering getting a FF Mask on my Next order from my DME B/C winter will be here soon and I am subject to Congestion in the Cooler Months. I am currently Using the Swift II and Swift LT nasal Masks and I was researching different FF Masks. On the FullLife Mask from Respronics it says they have a Kit with all three sizes so One can get the Proper Fit. I was wondering if you still need to use the sizing Guide before purchasing the Mask ? I will call my DME later today or tomorrow and see if they Have the FullLife mask in stock. My next shipment of supplies is in Late august and I am trying to get a Jump on things even though I have a Good DME. I need a FF mask as a Back up Mask anyways. The sizing chart on the Resprinocs site doesn't show you much. Anyone have additional Info on the Kit that they say is available with all three sizes for an easier Fit of the Mask ? Thank You

While the fit kit is a good idea, it's possible (not probable) that none of the FitLifes (FitLives?) will be a good fit for you. Better to get your hands on the template first.
And cpap.com does not have the fit kit, so I have no idea about the additional cost.

The info you want is in this tread:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=43587&start=60
And this info is still not on the Resironics web site.

Thanks, I have seen this. However, it does not help me know what size to get. I saw the plastic sizing thing in the first pic.. thats why I "attempted" to be an artist...lol
I still have not seen it on respironics either

Actually, they do have it and it is only $10 more (but no current stock).
https://www.cpap.com/productpage/respir ... -pack.html
My DME says that their Respironics rep still doesn't know when it will be available for DME distribution (and confessed that both they and the rep weren't sure why the online suppliers had it earlier). I'm getting more and more tempted to just pay the out of network co-insurance and order it online. Now that I see the fit pack, I would probably be tempted by it since I figure we could do some cushion swapping and could (theoretically) get 3 cushions for the price of 1 through some wise swaps.
