Nose bridge issue with full face mask

Post by Atom » Mon Jun 02, 2025 12:39 pm

I'm using and F&P full mask (medium). I have two of them and use both of them off and on. After six hours of sleep, which is about the most I ever do, it makes a considerable dent in the bridge of my nose. I am using some tape, but it's still pushing too hard on my nose. If I loosen the straps, it tends to leak. Any suggestions on dealing with this?

There are at least half a dozen FFM models that don't fit across the bridge of the nose. Scroll through them - https://www.cpap.com/collections/full-face-cpap-masks

I have used the AirFit F30i Full Face CPAP Mask for several years.

Use a mask that doesn't touch the bridge of the nose area.
CG gave you a list of those...there are several.
There's even a brand new ResMed FFM that doesn't touch the nasal bridge area of the nose.
