full face mask without forehead piece

Post by auntlala » Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:13 pm

to start I do not need input on sleep hygiene - am making this request with full knowledge and support of the specialist I am working with in regards to that.

Has anyone had success with a full face mask that does not have a forehead piece. I would love to be able to put on the mask and read for a bit before lights out. I find it disruptive to feel really sleepy while reading and have to "get alert enough" to put the mask on. I have been reading before going to sleep fore 40+ years. Can no longer read without the glasses but need a FFM. Any suggestions would be appreciated

There was a mask, I think it was a Hans Rudolf, mentioned in another thread that is FFM without forehead.

Millions love the hybrid, some like the liberty. Go over to cpap.com and shop around. They have reviews on most every mask.
