Mask question

Post by Barbee » Sun Mar 04, 2018 6:14 pm

So I have been using a ffm since I got my machine. This past week, I noticed when I woke up i was breathing thru my nose. With warm weather coming soon, I’d really like to try a nasal mask of some kind. The ffm makes my face so hot and the weather is still cool.
I started out with a nasal mask during my sleep study but they switched me to a ffm after my nose plugged up. I have since figured out it is the heat from the humidifier that plugs my nose. I turned my humidifier heat to off and now my nose stays nice and clear.
I took a look at cpap.com and its a little overwhelming how many options there are. Any words of wisdom on choosing a mask?

Order from www.cpap.com and get the return insurance. If you don't love the mask, you can send it back in 30 days and get your money back. Lots of people like the Resmed P10. A very popular choice.

I have only tried Dreamwear nasal cushions and couldn't be happier while others don't like it.

I like the Dreamwear because the hose it at the top. I run it behind pillow and I don't have to worry about hose at all during the night.
