Obstructive Sleep Apnea,or OSA,is a condition where the airway closes during sleep effectively causing some people to stop breathing for a short period of time in their sleep. While some suffer from OSA others may have Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea. For those who have been diagnosed with OSA or SOSA the most popular treatment option is to use a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine,or CPAP. A Cpap machine offers treatment to the individual by providing a constant airflow during sleep in order to hold the airway open thus reducing episodes of breathing difficulties.

The Hybrid and Liberty are two full face masks that do not touch the nose bridge so they solve the problem. I prefer the Hybrid and it comes with three sizes of nasal pillows and mouth cushions, so fitting is easy. - Rooster

Eventually I, too, switched to the hybrid-style masks. The Innomed Hybrid is my curent fave, but I seem to switch off with the Liberty on a regular basis. The Liberty leaks a bit more and is less comfortable, but gives me lower AHIs.- Link C.
