Hello all! Hope everyone is doing well. I have been using the P10 for the last 5-6 years. I recently had an updated sleep study after losing a decent amount of weight. During the study the gentlemen asked if I wanted to try a mask I had never tried before. I said sure why not! He offered me the Dreamwear full face mask. I slept pretty well with it that night. Well I have slept with it every night since. Only been a week, but still I have enjoyed it. I had been having to use a chin strap with the p10 to help with my mouth coming open. This has eliminated that and has helped with that dry mouth in the mornings that would sometimes happen.
Anyways. I have been using this mask for the last week and I have also been looking at the F30i online and it looks super similar. Anyone have any experience with both or either and want to provide some feedback? I am up for a new machine and mask and want to know if I should consider getting the f30i. Thanks everyone!!!

Re: Dreamwear full face and Airfit f30i
I've used both, and kept the F30i. They are similar, but for me the Dreamwear irritated and caused a sore spot on the septum where it meets the upper lip. If you look at both, the F30i has a center piece of silicone dividing the nostrils that makes a "transition" from the upper lips out to where it cradles around the nose. The Dreamwear has a wide open hole for nose breathing, but that piece of silicone that seals against the upper lip right under the nose will contact the septum right there.

Yeah I have noticed that it has made my nose a little raw. I am still getting used to it though. Always takes some time with a new mask. Thank you!edfreeman wrote: ↑Sun Sep 13, 2020 6:30 pmI've used both, and kept the F30i.
