MASK EXCHANGE AND LENDING

Inspired by "THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE" where people swap nasal pillow supplies, I would like to encourage trading or lending/borrowing the unused masks many of us have stuffed in storage with other users who want to try them. I know I've bought several masks I tried briefly but don't regularly use, and I see other people doing the same. It would be much cheaper if we were able to borrow each others' unused masks to test them, and we all might be able to test drive a lot more masks this way. Here is what I have available to lend or exchange:

Amara - I have medium cushions, but all cushion sizes fit the frame.
ComfortGel Blue Full - Medium
Forma - I have medium and large cushions, but all cushion sizes fit the frame.
Liberty Hybrid - Large
Mirage Quattro - Medium
Mirage Quattro - Large
Quattro FX - Medium

I have a SimPlus Large and an EasyLife Nasal Small on their way to me right now.

If you would like to try one of these masks, or would like to offer a trade, please send me a PM. If you just want to borrow one to try, a $10 donation to cover most of the shipping cost would be appreciated as well as the return of the mask when you are done trying is so it becomes available again for others. If anyone else would like to make any of their spare masks available, please feel free to post what you have available in this thread as well.

I'll swap a small Quattro FX used for five nights, for a Medium or Large F&P Simplus (all with headgear of course). PM me for details. Thanks, SNO

Fisher & Paykel Oracle HC452 oral mask (the newer one).

All original items, used 7 hours (3 + 2 + 2).

If you need it you need it, but it's not for me.

Pay shipping and try it. You can buy it on your own and ship it back or negotiate with me for this one.

I have :

F&P FlexiFit 431 silicone pieces (cushions) in Large and Medium. Would love to trade for small, but will send for free if you pay postage.

The 431 mask pieces were only tried on. I will wash all pieces again before I send them.

I need a Simplus large cushion. Apparently my head is bigger than I thought. If anyone has that cushion (large) I'd be happy to buy it from you. Unfortunately as I'm still rather new to CPAP, I haven't amassed a large collection of masks/parts to trade yet.

BUMPING for Audreyrose who wants to exchange A MASK.

I have a lightly used Resmed Quattro FX and Mirage Quattro, both size small that came with a Resmed S9, the machine only has 56 total hours on it and these were her only masks used with this machine, so combined 56 hours between the 2, both look new, but are used. Size again is small, more appropriate for a woman I believe. I would like to sell or exchange these for something else, try and buy is fine too, just cover shipping costs please. PM for pics Complete with headgear piece for hose.

I have a FitLife Total face mask extra large worn about 1 hour that I would like to trade for a Simplus large in similar condition as the FitLife. PM if interested.
Edit: Would like to have both medium and large head gear that it came with.

I have a FitLife Total Face Mask (the "scuba") in XL I wore about 14 times total (with mask liners over the cushion) before a big pressure increase took it out of the rotation as my full face mask backup. I'll trade my XL for your FitLife Total Face Mask in similar condition in Large, if anyone is interested. I am happy to send pics of the mask/cushion condition. I was using headgear for the Large size (purchased separately) so the XL headgear it will come to you with is totally unused.

If you're wondering, at my lower pressure the FitLife was always "burpy" even with the liners since my face seemed to be too thin for it (though I was afraid the L wouldn't be long enough from forehead to chin). I was only lasting 3-4 hours per night on it, but better than no mask when congested/sore. Once I increased my bipap pressure significantly, the side leaks got much worse and it stopped passing the leak check on my machine. I'm curious to see if the L would work before I scrap the whole idea of the FitLife as a backup for my nasal masks.
