What masks are the most comfortable??
I cannot use the nasal pillows mask. I have been using a resmed nasal gel mask, but I am needing to get a new mask because my mask is over 6 years old now. I was looking for feedback on what mask are the most comfortable? I am also thinking of trying the Quartro FFM. Any feedback is much appreciated.
Re: What masks are the most comfortable??
Whatever is most comfortable for you won't necessarily be the same for me, or Bob, Ted, Carole or Alice , and you need to try on as many as possible, in your size, lying down (your face changes a lot then), to be able to judge.

I've tried a few and the resmed airfit f10 is the most comfortable for me

Re: What masks are the most comfortable??
The Wisp and Swift FX Nano are the most comfortable of the Nasal masks I've tried. The comfort gel blue wasn't minimal enough. I've tried the Quattro air FFM in M and L and can't get it over my big nose. The Fisher and Paykel Simplus I just ordered is really comfortable but the silicone irritates my skins so I'm buying a padacheek. I also ordered an Aloha Nasal pillow to try and will report back. The key is to experiment until you find one you like. I used the Wisp for the first month of treatment but not it doesn't seem to want to stay on my face. The Velcro is worn out from adjusting it all the time...I haven't used my new machine much the past month or so.

After looking over the suggestions I believe I will try the Resmed Swift FX Nano. I found it on Amazon for $89.95, and I assume this is a good price? If anyone can recommend anywhere else please let me know. Thanks in advance for all your feedback.

I recommend buying from somewhere that has a free 30 day trial so you can return your mask if you don't like it.redfeather wrote:After looking over the suggestions I believe I will try the Resmed Swift FX Nano.

My primary mask is an Aloha, which for me at least hits a sweet spot of being stable and comfortable. I find the Swift FX sits more heavily on my lip and the pillows wear out much faster.

Re: What masks are the most comfortable??
Everyone is different of course but I have always liked the Mirage FX. I use nasal pillows now, but if I couldn't I would go back to the Mirage.

Check your private message box please. I sent you a link to an EBay seller that I have used for 3 or 4 masks...$40 with free shipping and it's a complete mask package for the Nano with standard cushion.redfeather wrote:After looking over the suggestions I believe I will try the Resmed Swift FX Nano.
