Quick Mask question

Post by dwdenny » Wed Sep 13, 2006 12:43 pm

I have been using my CPAP 100% for 12 days now and I feel better but not great yet time will tell. The DME gave me a comfort classic which is working pretty good but it is load and my wife is having a hard time getting used to it. Anyway I was on CPAP.com and was looking at different masks and they say that the Activa is really good for people that move a lot in their sleep(which is me) but when I did the measurement thing there it said that the Activa was not a good fit. I was wondering if I should take a chance on trying to get one from my DME as the Comfort Classic wakes me with leaks when I move and the noise is a pain as well.

Thanks

Doug

Doug,

Though I haven't used the mask fitting part of cpap.com, I've heard from others on this board that even their favorite masks turn up as "not a good fit" for their particular features.

I used the Activa for quite awhile and was very satisfied with the low leak rate despite all of my flailing around in bed. I abandoned it in favor of the Swift Nasal Pillow just because it's more comfortable for me (smaller and less cumbersome), but I would recommend the Activa highly.

Good luck!
