New mask time. Full face and high nose bridge recommendations please - muddles - 12-13-2016
Hi all,
I am up for a new mask soon and was wondering what is out and about now that is a full face mask and that caters to a high nose bridge.
I currently use an f&p simplus which i dont mind but could be a bit better fit and in the past have had a resmed quatro fx which rubber my nose red raw even with a cloth cushion.
i will go with a simplus again if needs be but thought that i might ask around and get a few suggestions to possibly try as well before I jump in at $200 + if i buy from a local supplier in australia
thanks heaps for any alternates
if only i could use a pillow but alas even with a chin strap i still have no luck.

I've always had problems with ffm's on the bridge of the nose.
I recently tried the new F20 from Resmed and that was much better.

Muddles,
I use the Philips Respironics Amara View which doesn't go over the bridge of your nose at all. It's extremely comfortable and I highly recommend it.
