Profile Lite mask alternatives?

Post by backupguy » Sun Jan 05, 2020 2:46 pm

For at least 15 years I have been using the respironics Profile Lite mask and because they were discontinued I have been stuck using my old masks for the last 3 years. I now have no choice but to find a new mask and I have tried at least 3 different kinds and none of them are comfortable or fit right.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a comfortable replacement?

I have already tried the Mirage SoftGel, EasyLife Nasal, Eson Nasal and ComfortGel Blue Nasal. The Mirage seem the most comfortable but it is smashing into the bottom of my nose above my lip.

Here's a great mask with a novel design - https://www.cpap.com/productpage/pr-dre ... k-fit-pack (Dreamwear Nasal).

Check the high ratio of four- and five-star reviews - https://www.cpap.com/productpage/pr-dre ... eviews-tab

With every mask you try, it's a good idea to search for that mask on youtube.com. Watch three or four videos on sizing, adjusting and using the mask. I would not try a new mask without doing this.

If you try a different mask, please post your progress and questions in this thread. This makes it easy for people helping you to follow your history.

I like the N20

The dreamwear granny recommended is my back up but I prefer the hose from the front and not at the top of my head.

If you wear small, you are in luck. https://www.blowoutmedical.com/profile- ... b37e2b73e9

Sadly, I am a MS and not a small.
