Mirage Activa users

Post by wrenn » Mon May 17, 2010 12:26 pm

Hi all, It is time for me to order a new mask. I have always used (and loved) the Mirage Activa but I am wondering if Activa lovers have come across anything new that they have tried and liked. Thanks in advance for any responses.

I'm happy with the Mirage Activa Lt, so haven't looked for other nasal masks. I did get the Mirage Softgel Pillow, which also fits the Activa Lt mask. It's softer and cushier, but also heavier, and is more prone to leaks (for me). But it has a different feel, so it's a nice change...a little vacation from the Activa Lt.

Sorry I can't help much but I have the Activa and the Activa LT. I find the LT heavier and less comfortable than the Activa and more prone to leaks. I'ts not terrible but me too I'm thinking at a new model the day my Activa stock will empty.

I forgot to tell I tried the Respironics ComfortGel and I found it less comfortable than the two Activas and more leaks. Not a choice for me.

Thanks for the responses. I think I will stick with the Activa. I did get the Lt last time but only used it a couple of times. I can't remember why I liked the regular Activa better but why fix it if it aint broken I guess. Thanks again for the input. I appreciate it.
