CPAP.COM Mask Sizing Guide

Post by snoozalot » Wed May 03, 2006 9:36 pm

It looks like we are going to be a 2 hose-head family. My wife was just diagnosed with OSA also, so I'm trying to get her set up with a rig.

My question is this: What has been your experience with the mask sizing guide on CPAP.COM? I input my wife's dimensions and was leaning toward the Activa, but it recommended a size "Large". That just doesn't seem like the right size for her face. Anyone else had a problem with the accuracy of the guide? Thanks

I currently use an ultra mirage mask. Wanted to buy the ultra mirage II mask (same thing with a couple enhancements), but wasn't sure what size my old mask is. Tried the sizing guide on CPAP.com. It said the ultra mirage was not a good fit for my face and suggested other masks!

I know from experience that the ultra mirage works great for me, so I think the sizing guide on CPAP.com is FUBAR.

I think the guide steered me wrong. It told me to buy a Large Ultra Mirage II. The mask doesn't fit at all - way too big, wrong shape...leak city!

So, I don't trust the sizing guide.
