Newbie - Suggestions for interfaces

I have had my sleep study and am expecting the call any day now for a xPAP script.

From reading the postings I know that I want to have a fully data capable, APAP, with heated humidifier. I am asking for some suggestions on the masks I should try.

I am not typically a mouth breather, but my palate is too short for my tongue to reliably seal off, so I probably have to look at a full face mask.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Allen

The mask is the hardest part. You can get lots of suggestions but no one will know what will work for you. If you will be going to a DME for your mask, try on as many as possible. Make sure they try them on you with an xpap machine running at your pressure. Check cpap.com and look at the masks, make a list of the ones you'd like to know more about, then come and search each mask. It's alot of reading but well worth it.
