The Mask Search Continues...

[DoubtFire61]

Simplus - Doesn't tolerate rolling or side-sleeping

Amara View - too narrow at the mouth, prone to leaking around nose and corners of the mouth...cannot tolerate more than 13 cm without "liftoff" (tolerates side sleeping and rolling the best)

F30 - largest size presses against nose, wake up in moninge with a very painful nose, not are side/roll friendly at all.

Dream Wear - Doesn't seal around my nose regardless of mask size.

So... for now I'm on the Amara View...will get 5-7 hours...if the machine goes nutsy and shoves 14 cm at me for a leak, then I just pull the mask and go without for the night....because there's no way to maintain a seal so that the machine will back down.

I agree with your remarks.

Have you tried the F20? I like both the silicone and memory foam ones, although I prefer the memory foam as it stays sealed for me throughout the night.

Hi!

Have you tried any masks that aren't full face?  A friend of mine had a similar problem and was a mouth breather but tried out a nasal mask and had great success. She learned to breathe through her nose after a few nights. All of the air rushing out tends to wake you and makes you close. 

Best of luck, my friend.
