Dean,

I received my mask today from your service. Thank you so much for making this option available. I've always wanted to try a Total Face Mask and could not justify the expense of trying it prior to this. Fitlife will get good treatment and be back to you within a week.

Hope mine comes soon.

I got my loaner mask in the mail on Saturday and after getting it all hooked up that night, I knew it wasn't going to work for me. Thanks to sleepnationtv for starting this program!

Wait where do we send money to? Also do you have any full face masks?

I received my mask on Friday also, I used it for 2 nights and like it. I already had the Activa LT and this Mirage softgel has interchangeable cushions. Now I know that the soft gel is more comfortable for me. I'll be shipping the trial mask tomorrow. Thanks Sleepnation/Dane.

I've just completed a week on a Hybrid (regular mask is Mirage Liberty), figuring I was going to like it better after reading a lot here.
Thanks to Dane at Sleep Nation TV, I found out I didn't like it as much as the Liberty - although it was very comfy to sleep in (if you can really call sleeping with a mask strapped to your face 'comfy), the pillows irritated my nares. I tried all 3 sizes, but nothing improved.
I will try a couple more masks I think will work for me, and will certainly purchase one from Dane as an extra for me, and to keep this program running.
I commend cortez for starting this thread and Stormynights for offering to kick it off, and Dane for running with it.

Cheers,
xena

http://www.sleepnation.tv/trialprogram Great program. Returning mine today. john

I did a test drive on a Swift fx, here's my take;
Leaks were minimal
Easy to put on
Simple adjustment
Can be worn looser than Swift lt
Very pliable short hose
Silicone cheek straps slightly annoying
Pad-a-cheek allowed easier slippage/leaks
Slight whistle on exhale
The big deciding factor for me was;
Exhaust vents directed downward too much
(Exhaust blowing on chest was sleep dis-ruptive)
Thank you for a wonderful program. I will be trying another mask after the Holidays.
Everyone have a Safe and Happy Holiday Season john

We are back from christmas break, masks are starting to come back so sign up to try a mask.

Got to tell you....Signed up last night and can't wait to try out the Liberty. Great program!

Done with my week on the comfortgel original nasal mask.
Easy to adjust, very few leaks.....I made a cotton liner to fit.
The only thing I didn't like was my big mouth.....tried tape also tried the ace bandage mouth wrap.
I'm going to try a comfortgel full face mask next, I did a swap with "airforce retired"... my Swift LT for his Comfortgel. We'll see how that goes before I try anything else.
Cheers all and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

I tried the Hybrid after reading quite a few reviews that it was better than the Mirage Liberty (also a 'hybrid').

For my own face, the Mirage Liberty works much better, although having a L, M & S size mouth part of the Hybrid gave a bit more scope than just the L and S of the Liberty.

The Hybrid was very comfy, however no matter what size mask/nasal pillow combinations I tried I had way more leaks over the week than with the Liberty, so this was really the main deciding factor on which mask works best for me.

I did like the chin cup on the Hybrid as I didn't have to use my PapCap to keep my big mouth closed

Overall, the Hybrid was a really comfortable mask, but apparently not the right fit for my face.

I'm waiting on my next choice - Swift FX for Her!

Thanks again, Dane for the great program!

I have a Swift FX coming and I am looking forward to giving it the old college try again. I originally had one when I first got my CPAP unit about 5 weeks ago. I did not have the best experience with it, although I only gave it about 3-4 days. I was experiencing some leaking and being a new CPAP user, I got frustrated and traded it in for my current Mirage Micro nasal mask. The Micro has been good for me, but I really want the nasal pillows to work for me.

Thanks for this great program, Dane!

Anybody waiting on a Resmed Mirage Quattro? Sending the one I had for test ride back to Dane today.
