Looking for the right mask
On Jan 11 I started using th Respronics Full Life full face mask. Historically I've tried the Swift LT for Women and the ResMed Mirage. I have concluded after a little over a year that I cannot use nasal masks because my sinuses swell during the night.
After using the Respronics Fill Life for a couple of nights I quickly realized that I needed something to protect the the bridge of my nose. After letting my nose heal from the initial irritation, the Sleep Comfort Care nose pads help.
Still searching for the right mask that is comfortable, does not leak and doesn't leave to many marks on face.
I'm looking a at the Zzz full face mask and also the ComfortGel.
Please share your experiences with these masks.

My wife just switched to the Respironics Comfort Gel nasal mask and LOVES it. And that's a big statement coming from her, since she is not a fan of CPAP or CPAP masks. She likes the gel cushion which makes it very comfortable, and that the mask comes in a petite size that's perfect for her. I know that Respironics considers this one of their "premium" masks -- top of the line.

Hi Mike, the Comfort Gel full face mask I ordered last week arrived on Friday. After using it for the past 4 days I can honestly say that is the best and most comfortable full face mask I've used so far. Thanks for the suggestion based on what your wife uses.

Good to hear.
If it doesn't work out, you might try to arrange a fitting at your doctor or your supplier. It is a chance to try on several different masks at once to see what fits best.

Awesome to hear that simanc -- I never wore a Respironics mask myself, always been a ResMed mask guy -- but it seems PR is onto something real good with the Comfort Gel technology.
