Resmed F30 vs. Resmed F30i

[mawaw1992]

I have been using a Dreamwear nasal mask since it first came out and love it. But I am a serious mouth breather and most of all my leaks seem to come from my mouth. So I thought maybe I need to go to a FFM and eliminate that problem. I tried many FFM many years ago and never found one that would fit me well enough not to leak. Recently I tried the Dreamwear FFM and it too leaked around the mouth area. Someone suggested trying a Resmed F30 mask that seem to work great for them and fit better than the Dreamwear. But I don't know whether I should try the F30 or the F30i. I don't know if one seals better than the other. I am use to my hose attaching at the top of my head with the Dreamwear so I feel that I would like the F30i better as long as it seals as well as the F30. Has anyone tried both mask and which do you prefer?

I have the F30 and works fine for me. The reason I got it instead F30I is that the mask is attached to the frame that goes around the head (not the headgear) and the mask comes in different sizes as dose the tube that goes around the head. So 2 things the size is harder to know you could have a med mask and a large tube or visa versa. 2nd is the replacement is more because you have to buy both and not just the mask. 

Take a look at YouTube F30I. If your supplier will fit you before you buy ok but if you buy it without trying it on you may not get the right size combo.
