I am looking for a smaller cpap nasal mask. Currently, I'm using the Mirage Activa LT. Prior to this, I was using the Mirage Activa. A few years ago, I tried every mask and nasal pillow made by all the CPAP makers. The LT is best of the worst my DME said, knowing of my challenges with mask fits and comforts over the past 15 years. My DME only gives me a store credit if I choose to return a mask to them, so I rather order from CPAP.com with their free returns.
As such, I was wondering if there are any newer "smaller" nasal masks for those who were "stuck" with the Activa? In particular, users who are side sleepers that move around a lot when sleeping and their facial muscles "relax" during sleep?
Mirage Activa LT mask alternatives?

I am a side sleeper. I like the N-20. I wear the "for her" version

Re: Mirage Activa LT mask alternatives?
Thank you. Have used the Activa before? From others I have talked to, most people don't move around as much as I do. One user review from 2016 wasn't that good. The sleeping pattering seems to be similar.
I like how there's return insurance if the mask isn't suitable, but it's still a hassle.

I tried the Activa (not the LT version). It didn't work for me. I flip a lot and bury my face in the pillow and I would wake up with the hard plastic parts digging into me and it leaking like crazy. YMMV everyones face is different and finding the mask that works for you can be a challenge.Justin Case wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 3:21 amThank you. Have used the Activa before?
