Hi everyone
I’ve been using my airsense 10 autoset for nearly 2 months now but I’m finding the airfit f20 mask quite uncomfortable. The bridge of my nose is bruised and I feel that the mask slides down my nose making it hard to breathe. I’ve tried several adjustments of the head gear but I’m having no luck. I’ve also tried a mask liner which didn’t help either. I also wake up with a headache is this normal?

Re: Mask fit
You can try the v. large variety of masks through most dealers (e.g. see Cpap.com) allowing you to return what doesn't work within a few wks, usually for a small fee, but do call them to ask about their policies.

Re: Mask fit
Years ago, I tried "real" FFM's - tried a number, couldn't tolerate them.
When I need an FFM nowadays, I use the Resmed F30. They also have an F30i - with a hose connecton on top of the headgear. Both cradle your nose and encircle your mouth and have nothing on the bridge of your nose.

Re: Mask fit
My wife and I have both transitioned from the F20 to the F30 mask. It is the most comfortable mask I have used ( 7 1/2 years).

Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional.
Re: Mask fit
@ Mothership - is it possible that you have the wrong size cushion? That can make a huge difference. When you originally got the mask, it should have come with a sizing template. If not, go to ResMed website and search for the mask then the sizing template. Just a thought.
