need mask suggestions
My husband finally got a cpap. He has a comfort gel nasal mask and it isn't working for him. The chinstrap just isn't keeping his mouth closed enough. He has tried my hybrid (it came with bigger sizes that I don't use that fit him). It almost works, but he still has leaking issues. He has an appointment to get a new mask on Tuesday. I'm looking for suggestions. He isn't a terribly active sleeper, but does move some. He has facial hair and a biggish face.
So far, he tries to use it a little each night, but doesn't last long. While he uses his machine, it does seem to help. He even seems to snore less after he takes it off. We just need to find the right mask so he can use it all night. Any help will be appreciated - after all, you all helped me so much when I was getting started!

Well, DH's new mask seems better for him. The other night, he wore it quite a while but ended up waking up at one point to discover he had taken it off in his sleep. Not sure what to do about that.

It really takes trial and error, & messing with the wrong fit until you find something that works. Hate waking up with strap marks & having to adjust the mask in the middle of the night. ugh. I think a few people here mentioned the ResMed Full Face Mask... I'm a fan! No forehead support & no annoying chinstraps: http://www.thecpapshop.com/products/quattro-fx-full-face-mask-system

I am having better luck after 3 weeks or so with the Quattro FX. I think they should have "Cpap Camp" were we could all go and at night have advice, expertise and try new masks out!! :)
