stilllll wearing my Sylent mask
i am so getting used to sleeping with my sylent mask. I am loving it actually. @ Bleeping Beauty, you use the Hybrid. Please tell me about the mask and what you like about it. Is there anything you don't like about it? I am open to trying it if it's good.thanks

Hi again. Glad to hear the Sylent is still working well for you.sleepyhead1 wrote:i am so getting used to sleeping with my sylent mask. I am loving it actually. @ Bleeping Beauty, you use the Hybrid.

What I like about the Hybrid:
- It's a full-face mask that doesn't cover my nose
- The chinflap helps me keep my mouth closed when I'm sleeping, but if I have to mouth-breathe, I can
- There's nothing pressing on my forehead
- It's comfortable
- It handles some big pressure swings in my therapy with minor, if any, leaks most of the time
- Lots of sizing options with it. The mask comes with three sizes of mouth cushion and three sets of nasal pillows. The pillows can be separated, so you can use two different sizes if need be, and the pillows are also height-adjustable.
If you're considering a backup full-face mask (for times when you're too congested to breathe easily through your nose), I think that's a good idea. Best to have something on hand to use in that situation than to find yourself unable to use the only mask you have.
Veni, vidi, Velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around.

I use the hybrid too and concur with everything Bleepingbeauty said. I now have two of them so I am good to go for a long time.
