Nasal Mask Suggestions?
Hey y'all
So I've used the Phillips Dreamwisp since it came out, and got the news in January that they discontinued it. Since then I've been in hell trying other masks with very little success.
So far here's where I am:
I hate the Redmed N20. The front hose attachment and frame take me back to what I hated about the OG Phillips Wisp and loved aboit Dream wisp. The cushion sizing is wierd to...I've ways been a large with Phillips masks but the large Resmed masks leak to much, but the mediums feel like they're rubbing on the edges of my nose annoyingly.
N30i: tiny bit of success. when I can get the cushion to seal and not leak (only the small wide will seal at all which again is weird sizing to me). but at times it leaks like an SOB. the original headgear was a no go,so I have the 'Phillips Drea.wesr arms' hack on there and it works OK, but still slips up the back of my head when I turn over so I wake up from leaks.
I have also tried the P30i cushions on the n30i frame..nasal pillows are a 100% NO GO. I cannot stand how it feels like it's pushing up on the cartilage of my nose because I have to get it that tight to stop leaks..just not comfortable at all.
My DME let me try the new F&P Nova Nasal, headgear is amazingly comfortable, but the clip system. hiding it together is stupid, there's no quick disconnect, it connects at the front which is annoying, the clip system to take the hose up top snags my hair painfully, and cushion sizing for F&P is worse than Resmed.. the medium rubs my nose on the sides, and the large leaks like a sieve unless I pull the straps so tight the hard plastic of the cushion is starting to apply pressure...
I've heard the F&P Brevida is a better and less invasive nasal pillow mask, but don't k ow that my current DME offers it...Tbh from what I've seen they mostly push Resmed...
suggestions welome!
