Anyone here switched from nasal to full-mask?
Re: Anyone here switched from nasal to full-mask?
I am a 6 week old Newbee but I will try to share my experience.
I use a FFM F20 airtouch with a foam cushion.
I love it. The seal is perfect, and even better when I sink into the pillow on my side or on my stomach !
Two problems though:
I have a tendency to drool (after a few hours) and it makes the foam wet. So it kills the seal. I, then, have to dry the foam, which is a problem....
To avoid this, I tape my mouth. Which doesn't always work. I will try a F20 with a silicon cushion.
Second problem: frequent replacement of the foam.

Thanks. If you get a chance, could you let me know how your new silicone cushion compares with the foam one?Albatros wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 2:44 amI am a 6 week old Newbee but I will try to share my experience.

I am trying out nasal masks but I also have an F20 AirFit FFM with silicone, and am curious as to how silicone compares vs foam, especially with regard to leaks.

OK
I will post my experience when I get the silicon .

Re: Anyone here switched from nasal to full-mask?
When you do get your AirFit F20 you’ll need to rethink how to fit it correctly. There is a difference in how it will feel when getting it setup as you need to leave some room for the cushions to expand.
Here is a good place to start:

Thank you.
Question: how do you extract the "orange" part of the previous post, in your reply ? (I am new to the forum).
