I've tried all sizes of the FullLife FFM. The best fit for me is Small. But it just chews up my nose bridge, so I've been unable to wear it. Do you have any adjustment tips for the FullLife, particularly for the nose bridge area? I'd really like to make it work!
Re: Post your favorite mask
I use Lansinoh Lanolin - Nursing Cream on nose bridge every night. Slide mask up onto nose. Make sure back strap stays but by putting some of your hair over strap . If still having troubles try a small bandaid that is what I did in beginning. Maybe the mask gets broken in not sure. I guess I must be used to it because I only have small mark in morning.

Re: Post your favorite mask
I only have tried a few but my favorite and main mask is the ResMed Mirage Softgel. I have an Activa LT cushion on the way and a couple of Comfortgels (nasal and FF) that I got for free.

Re: Post your favorite mask
Activa is my mask of everyday since I started, I like it a lot. I tried the Mirage Liberty but I never was able to stop leaks around the mouth and I didn't like the feeling inside my sinus.
I was able to try a Swift LT for only 4 days that was a too short period of time to know if I would be able to like it. My sinuses were burning and congested I was not able to adjust to it at all. I would like to buy a Headrest one day. It seems to be a very good choice but I'm not sure I'm afraid of not been able to stand it because of my sinus's problems.

Re: Post your favorite mask
I wonder if there are any people who like the Hybrid who use the System One. I'm trying to generate ideas for why my sleep became even more disturbed on the Hybrid, and the only thing I can think of is (1) The System One's test puffs are more disturbing to my sleep when they occur IN my nose than ON my face or (2) something about having something in my nose makes me more congested, causing arousals.

Re: Post your favorite mask
I used the hybrid and had similar issues. I would wake up kind of breathless and felt like I wasn't getting enough air.

Re: Post your favorite mask
I'm using the Hybrid and am happy with it (so long as my pillows fix is employed). Tried the FullLife and got great therapy with it, but my nose bridge suffered, and I gave up on it.
Still in search of that elusive "perfect" FFM for me - one that's comfy, doesn't leak and doesn't need a fix of any kind. A pipe-dream, perhaps...

Re: Post your favorite mask
i use the resmed mirage activa lt, but it is the only one i've ever used and i don't have many problems with it.
Re: Post your favorite mask
The only one that has worked for me period has been the ZZZ FFM or the Drive FFM which are the same mask. I use the ResMed Mirage Liberty straps.
At the higher pressures (up to 25cm H2O) it develops minimal leakage and it's light and flexible to the point as Diver put it "you can scratch your nose" with it onN. It's also very comfortable without creating sores.
