Nasal mask without a forehead brace?

Post by JMJflyer » Fri Mar 12, 2010 8:53 pm

Is there a nasal mask that doesn't obstruct my vision with a center support going up to my forehead? I know I will be asleep mostly when I use my mask, but just curious if there is anything out there. I do not really like nasal pillows.

Yup, one of Respironics' oldest masks, the Simplicity simple nasal cushion. I LOVED mine but had to switch to a full face due to mouth leaks (the "lip flutters"). And the Simplicity fits slightly down the nose from the bridge which I also liked about it.
