Hi Steve,

No I haven't tried a Nasal mask but I don't think it would work for me because of a couple of reasons. One reason is that my sinuses usually feel swollen or stuffy and dried, so I think having air blow directly into them would cause more dryness and irritation. The other reason is that my mouth opens when I sleep, probably because the lower jaw does not line up with the upper jaw, so a Full mask that covers the mouth as well as nose would be best for me. I would like to try the All face mask that covers the whole face because it's supposed not to leave any marks on the face and might be more comfortable for me.

Hi Sonia.. why do you use a full face mask.. does your mouth open or nasal congestion? I don't like the comfort full mask even when it is the right size. The quattro by resmed is usually a better mask(small or mediumfor you ). But have you tried a nasal mask( if you have , sorry for the comment).

Hi Richard,
The mask I have it's a Comfort II Full size M (Medium) and I believe the maker is Respiron. Since the mask it's probably too big for my face I can't get a perfect seal, I mean that it'll seal but any movement I make will cause little leaks, but maybe if it was the right size for my face and I could stand the bulk of it it might have a good seal. But I'm not happy with it also because it leaves dent marks on my face. I am going to try the All face mask that cover the whole face; that will will probably not leave marks on my face. Good luck finding the right mask for you.

Sonia, would you mind if I ask what the make or model your mask is. Does that style make a full seal with no leaks. I saw your pictures on photos tab.
Thanks in advance, Rich D
