I agree with loolvr:
You have to find a mask that will let you give yourself higher pressure so you get proper treatment.

I just went on a websearch (smiley's) and saved 'em to photobucket to use in posts. It's a little time-consuming, but they're fun
this is one of my favorites, and might fit in here LOL

[quote="loonlvr"]Barb, that comfortfull kind has a bad rep in here. I use a Ultra Mirage, very nice mask. I also had an high AHI, and run a pressure of 12-18 on my auto with few leaks. You may have to try some other masks, as I think your pressure may have to be raised. Just a thought.

I've tried the Ultra Mirage AND the ComfortFull. What other masks are there? I could go back to my nasal mask, but then I'd have issues with congestion...again. Not ready to jump back into THAT disaster. Yes, I tried everything...Flonase (massive allergic reaction) Nasacort (didn't work) Saline spray (didn't work). All the other "corts" LOL
This would be great!!! (quoted from another thread) I went to the website and didn't see anything about this though)
It may be of some interest to some of you to hear that a company called "Sleep Net" (
http://www.sleep-net.com) is working on releasing a new FF gel mask sometime in October or November. This mask will be very flexible and form itself to the user's face. I am looking forward to finding out more about it. If anyone knows anything else about this mask don't keep it a secret

I also use the Fisher Paykel hc431. It fits under the chin and is very comfortable. I'd suggest trying that one. Very nice FF mask.

Well, don't know. I used the comfortfull for a year before I started on the Ultra mirage. Then got the FP. Its good to have a few masks to alternate as they each have different pressure points.Happy hunting.
