Mask Dilemma Again!!

Post by JackieLee » Mon Sep 21, 2026 11:09 am

I am still wasting money trying to get as mask I can sleep all night with!?!??

F20, too cumbersome, x30i, small pillows too small, medium pillows makes my upper lip, right under my nostrils sore, from the overnight pressure, n30i, medium cushion doesn’t work, haven’t tried a large because I’ve determined I am transitioning to nasal mask with Myotape which is amazing!

I have a Philips Dreamwear Nasal Mask using a ‘wide’ cushion which works good but by 4:30am I wake up with clogged sinuses.

Maybe I need to start using Intake Dilator again?!??

I lastly tried the Dreamwear Whisp (a mask like the F20 that just goes around the nose) and I was not getting enough air and AI and Aeroflow said using a ‘Full Face Mask’ setting on Airsense 11 would not give me more air!?!??

All I’m trying to do is find a mask I can use all night!!!! I’m going broke trying to do this!!!??

As a 'follow up' I did a trial run with the Dreamwear Whisp, using a large mask, and changing the machine setting to FFM. The 'trial' run 'seemed' to give me a comfortable amount of air at the starting pressure of 6. I'll give it a go tonight and see what happens.
