I'm waiting on the perscription from my last sleep study to get the bi-level. It seemed easier to breath with.

At my last sleep study, I tried the new bellows full face mask. What a difference! The new bellows lets it move more feely, and the straps can be very lose. This is a great new one, Holds great suction. Also, didn't seem to leak as much. If it leaked I would just pull it out away from my face and it droped right back in place and took care of it. Also With this I tried the bi-level, which is alot easier to breath. I'm at the pressure. 14 with this bi-level it pushes pressure 14, but I breath back less, maybe 8 pressure. So You don't have to fight as hard to breath. I'm all for that. I have not received this machine yet, as I'm waiting for them to finish the evaluation on me. But can't wait to get it. But just using it, I know that I will love it. You all should look into it, if you are having problems like I was having.
