I own an airfit f3.0 i mask with a resmed airsense 10 machine. I love it. Can the mask be adapted to work using a battery powered resmed mini machine for camping and travel.

[@jdizzle9011]

This mask is literally the reason I didn’t give up on therapy all together. It’s a godsend.

[@CPAPReviews]

Nice one bro. Thanks for sharing your experience with the F30i. A fav of mine too. Nicko

[@elmundodemune8096]

I will try the F 30 mask because I have the F20 is very uncomfortable for me, I feel I can't breathe.

[@bba.by.marilyn]

Got this mask 2 days ago so I have 2 sleeps in. It is THE most comfortable mask I have ever tried. Almost like not wearing one at all. Yes I do get some leaks but I think all masks leak at one place or another. The head gear size Medium is fine. The other I've tried medium, then small, then back to medium. Just can't decide which one is more comfortable for the full night. 5 Stars for this Resmed F30i mask!

[@CPAPReviews]

Thanks for your feedback 👍🏻. Glad to hear it’s working well for you. All the best

[@purpl3t1m3]

I found this channel by searching for F30i. I'm a new sleep apnea person (formerly "borderline" sleep study) and happy to eventually realize goals. I think Covid exacerbated my apnea, and here I am in 2021.

[@CPAPReviews]

Glad you found me! Hope you enjoy the vids and good luck with your cpap therapy in 2021 and beyond. Cheers

[@cherylsingleton3357]

My skin is very sensitive to the silicone but, I made this work. After trying six different mask this is my favorite of them all. I modified a mask cover to keep the mask from touching my skin. I also brought strap covers for the frame. The head gear is awesome, allows me to rollover, and get comfortable, without getting tangled up in the tubing. The F30i and climate control tubing have me sleeping better than I have in the past two years. I wish I had tried this mask first, it would have made the start of my sleep therapy, so much easier. The right size mask makes a world of difference. I started with a medium and switched to a small-wide. The small-wide is so comfortable and will definitely be my replacement mask for here on out.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Cheryl, thanks for sharing your experience with the F30i, Glad it's working well for you. Have a nice day. Nick

[@NICK_1979]

Hello Nick, I'm glad you have decided to review this particular mask. With the mirage quattro full face mask I was having 11 apneas an hour. After using the F30i I went down to 4 Apneas an hour. Great mask and less bulky than the Mirage Quattro.

[@CPAPReviews]

Great to hear it mate! All the best

[@someoneelse6934]

Just started using this mask. I started with the nose pillow type and quickly realize I am very much a mouth breather. This mask is fantastic. My first night was a 99/100 score on my air step 11 machine. Extremely comfortable and making the training on using a CPAP very easy.

[@JulieFair-Enarra]

I’ve had this mask for one year. Using a small frame with a small-wide cushion. I think my frame may be too small as it leaves me with a lot of face marking in the morning. But otherwise it is the best mask I’ve ever tried and have achieved 6+ hours a night with the mask for the entire year since the switch. Previous masks were dreamweaver and F30. Liked the F30 cushion but hated the hose off the front weighing it down. The dreamweaver was too delicate and leaked - but loved the hose off the top. So I knew as soon as I saw it the F30i would be perfect and it is. Not sure what I would do without this mask

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi there, thank you so much for sharing your lovely insights! You might be able to get a mask liner like this one www.sleep-tight.co.uk/pad-a-cheek-mask-liner-for-resmed-airfit-f30i-cpap-mask which might help with some of those marks. Have a great day

[@raymondha1061]

Thanks Nick for the review. I’ve been using this mask for almost 2 years, it’s the best mask so far. Only problem is that the connection between the frame and the mask would crack after 4 to 5 months and needs to be replaced. Resmed only provides warranty for only 3 months here in Canada!

[@timjewell748]

I love the ResMed f30i full face CPAP mask. I'm able to wear my glasses and read before bed I like the fact that the tubing connects to the elbow on the top of my head and I'm able to have side to side freedom of movement while I'm asleep in bed

Love this mask! I don't feel so "claustrophobic". I'm a mouth breather, and this mask works great! Comfortable, too.

[@crawl3121]

I got this mask from a provider who was given a Rx from my doctor who spent a whooping 15 minutes showing me how to use the resvent 20A & gave me a F30i mask & sent me on my way. I have tried to get a seal with this 😊for 4 days with no luck. It is really frustrating. I also feel like my lungs are being blown out & my chest hurts like I am having an asthma attack. Your videos explain more than the doctor & the mask provider’s clinic. Thank you!

[@Jayjay-2007]

Your reviews have been so helpful in choosing the right CPAP machine and mask from a bewildering array of options out there. I like how you get straight down to brass tacks and highlight the pros and cons. Thank you very much!

[@elizabethG633]

Our clinic isn't doing any sizing right now, but I needed a rescue so I did order online, but before I ordered, I did e-mail the company a few times to clarify certain questions I had. They replied and so I am taking the chance. I hope this solves my issues, because I really need this therapy to work, I lose more energy every day not getting proper sleep.

I got diagnosed with sleep apnea last week. I have the approval from my insurance now I am just waiting for where my Dr wants me to buy it from to give me a call and set up an appointment. Thank you so much for this video, I have a deviated septum and I rarely breath through my nose. I am so happy that there is a smaller full mask.

[@dietrichschaefer7506]

Our clinics are not open so I ordered from the company associated with the clinic. Found that using the template got me to the right size. I love the mask. It is a lot easier and more comfortable the the F 20 I had before.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Dietrich, thanks for sharing your experience. Glad you are enjoying the F30i. I like it too :)

[@Roller71]

Your correct, I have found this unit to be the best of a bad bunch. I agree it is everything positive. Struggling with minor issues is the least of my problems. The only negative aspect is I use a contoured memory foam pillow which I believe provides too much resistance when lying on my side. It then counteracts this with ramping up the oxygen flow unnecessarily. Otherwise the mask is the best so far.

[@kevinmacfionbhar2157]

I have an F30 mask and have bought liners from Silentnight at 6 quid each which only last for a week and are rough on the skin, then from Padacheek a piece of cloth with a few holes cut in it for 40 quid! Then I thought, hang on, I could do that much cheaper. I just need it to protect my skin from the mask so I borrowed a cotton face mask from my sister and she cut two holes for nose and mouth, clipped it over my ears then put the F30 over it. Works fine. You can get them for 1 or 2 quid and they are washable. Give it a try. Also found that the mask slips forward and so doesn't stay firmly on the nose, especially a problem when sleeping. Bought some large velcro cable ties and connected the front and back headstraps, tightened it to a secure and comfortable position and it works fine and stays in position through the night. Great to be able to use the F30 as it is the most comfortable and the full face one brings out a nasty rash on my nose.

[@CPAPReviews]

G'day Kevin, thanks for the awesome suggestions. Have a great day. Nick

[@dhanilshah6368]

I liked the suggestion of going to clinic and buy the mask. It’s late for me and I bought it online. When I was placing order online for frame, it was showing just standard size and them large size so I called the online support of that vendor. The representative suggested to go with standard size as that is most appropriate size for most. When I received the mask I feel it’s too tight on my nose even after loosening the frame. I rarely use this mask now and often switch back to ResMed AirTouch F20 that i feel more comfortable and gives good sleep score.

[@bjw4859]

This is my 1st go at a CPAP machine & this is the exact mask that was supplied with my machine, it felt very good as it was being fitted & the fact that you are recommending it gives me a bit more faith to trial this mask/machine combo.

I sleep on my stomach. I need to sleep with my mouth open but drooling is a huge issue.

[@stevedrake1861]

I use a F30M mask. I like it because it doesn't have to be very tight against my face in order to seal. It has the cloth-elastic headgear. What I DON'T like are the magnetic latches on the bottom of the mask. since I sleep on my side, it's easy to pop them off and have the mask to start leaking. The Respironics mask that I had in the past snapped on and stayed on much better.

[@ew5440]

Very informative and practical video. This gentleman’s delivery and attitude is engaging, and appreciated the selfless assist for the specialty clinics and businesses out there.

I still slow 0 stars out of 3 for my mask fit on my machine and I'm not sure why. It rarely leaks air enough to awaken me like ALL the other masks do, thank God, I was near giving up!

[@stegokitty]

Thanks for your well-made, and thoughtful videos. And that's wise advice about seeing the sleep clinic. I haven't been to one in several years because I no longer have insurance. But it's probably worth it to do so, because like you said, they're gonna know how to get the correct sizes of all the gear, and fit it properly, etc. And if we just keep buying cheaply, we're gonna end up in a cheap, unsupported situation.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi there, thanks for your comment and kind words. For some masks i think it's okay but for this mask in particular probably best to get fitted up in a clinic. There's a similar mask by Philips called the dreamwear full that you can get in a fitpack which comes with all the size cushions included. I'd be more confident in ordering that one online :). Have a great day. Nick

Hi Ralph, thanks for your feedback. All the best

[@cocojo2356]

Hi Nick, my hubby uses a full face mask as he's nowon a BiPAP machine (due to lung problems) and he has nothing but bother with the seal. Before moving onto the BiPAP, he was on an AirSense 10 or 11 and he used the nasal pillows, which he loved, but the nasal pillows are not recommended for the BiPAP machine. This sounds like the perfect solution as he also really liked the fact that the air part was on top of the head too. Thanks for another great review. 🙂

[@PanamaRose]

I used a Liberty Mirage mask with the nasal pillows for years on an Bipap (Airsense 10) and have never heard that!

[@cocojo2356]

@@PanamaRose I'm happy that you are happy with your mask, unfortunately, my husband wasn't. It was the same with the nasal pillow mask that sits just under your nose. We are all different and maybe all the other people you know in the same position are lucky too, so I guess my husband was just unlucky. Either way, it doesn't change the fact that the nasal pillows are no good for him with hi bipap machine. He is waiting for the Eclipse Bleep to come here so he can use that one (fingers crossed). Nick has done a review on that one too and it seems to stand up to the high air pressure without any problems, so we'll try that when it comes to Australia.

[@sandfordfields6578]

Thats the one i got! Its nice especially when animals sleep with you because the hose on top the head! You can sleep on your stomach, side and back! The last one bringed on my nose and wore a place on my nose! This one does not do that! This is the best one yet!

I just got this mask yesterday. Wore it for the first time last night, I was using the ResMed Mirage Liberty. I slept ok but not great, but I think that's just me needing to get used to the new mask. The one thing I wish they would do is make a bigger head gear(the straps). I have an unusually large noggin and even with the straps almost all the way released it's still really tight. I'm hoping they'll stretch and give a better fit after some use. So far though, after one night I'm liking it.

Hey Nicko, I have a mask hack for you. I love this mask but when I fall asleep my jaw often relaxes and falls breaking the seal. Hack: Criss cross the lower straps under your jaw to the opposite magnet’s then your jaw is supported.

[@davidjohncox7333]

G’day, Nick! I just got this mask at my most recent sleep study. Also, my first full-faced (I’ve been using the Phillips Dreamwear). I’ve experimented a bit with cushion sizes. Pretty much settled on SW. That said, later in the night (not immediately) I start to get discomfort in my septum. I loosened the straps a bit to alleviate the discomfort, then the mask leakage begins. I’m in a bit of a quandary. Also, I’m used to the quick connect/release of the elbow to the tubing from my Dreamwear and the f30i doesn’t have this feature. I saw a third party quick connect/release, so maybe I’ll try that if I stay with this mask. Having the tubing at the top of my head is the game changer for me. (As well as the air flow down both sides of the assembly). Thanks for all you do! Cheers! David 🍻

[@ChristmasEve777]

Thank you for this awesome video! I've been looking for a mask that connects at the top like this for two reasons. One of them you covered and it's obvious - freedom of movement from side to side without dealing with the hose. But my second reason may be rarer. When I sleep, I tend to like to slightly bury my face in my pillow. I'll sleep on my side (not my stomach) BUT I'll rotate my body and head a little downward. With the F30, this causes leaks because I'm pushing on the big frontal obstruction. I hope the F30i will be my holy grail.

[@CPAPReviews]

Very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes it should help but i would also probably recommend getting a cpap pillow that has the contour cut outs so that you can turn your face down a bit in the cut out and it should also help with the seal. Also a cpap hose lift goes great with this masks as it keeps the tubing off you making it easier to sleep with. Let me know how you go :-)

[@reneepowers7153]

Thank you for this video! I just got this and I’m new to all this. I went into the clinic to get fitted and pick up my machine. I’m very surprised that it’s not so uncomfortable, honestly I was dreading this but I’m actually hopeful now that I can get some decent sleep. Thank you 😊

[@scarab1386]

I understand telling us to support the clinic but... My clinic wanted to charge me $2,600 Canadian for a ResMed airsense 10 Auto. I bought it on Amazon for $900. It's not an issue I guess if you've got insurance when you're trying to pay for your own stuff it's hard to go to the clinic.

[@CPAPReviews]

I would encourage customers to talk with their consultants regarding other prices online and meet at a price where the cilnic still makes a little money to employ staff, pay leases etc but at the same time you then get quality support when you need it. I do feel that if you started having a lot of issues and needed some assistance the guy on amazon wouldn't want to know about it but i can certainly see the appeal saving over $1000 dollars. Anyway, my advice was really regarding this mask with respect to the sizing but i get your point. Cheers

I just started using this mask. I like it except it do get air whooshing out of leaks and have to adjust it a lot early one when putting in on. But also, if my nose itches and I just have to scratch it, I found if I can lift the mask up from the bottom a little, it doesn't mess with how it fits on your nose, so you don't have to take it off and start over again. Prior to this, I was using the N30i that just goes under your nose. But it was constantly shifting and I had really bad dry mouth. The F30i stay in place even if I'm sleeping on my side.

I own this mask. I cannot advise to buy it. The openings for the nostrils are too small. Especially for people like me who sleep on the side the mask can shift at night. The follow is that one nostril is blocked by plastic and you cannot breath through it. If you want to buy make sure the mask does not press the nose up and the nostrils together. Actually, you should have 1 night for try before buying it.

It is such a headache seeing as my insurance company (Veterans Affairs) doesnt cover those trips. I want to just purchase one out of pocket without the extra financial burden / steps. Only choice I see is online, some places seem to offer 30 day returns for free if the sizing is wrong but there seems to also be an equal amount of shady businesses out there for the CPAP market.

Thanks for the feedback. I did consider it but thought most would work it out.

Fantastic mask! Had a similar mask from Philips amara view. Resmeds is like night and day

[@outforbeer]

I think the problem with f30 was the elbow where co2 is being vent out. There's these flaps inside the elbow that seem useless. I think the flaps was suppose to close when exhaling, but it never does because the air going into your mouth is so strong, those flaps will always remain open and never close. I love my phillips full face dreamwear, but it has a couple of down sides which I hope this f30i could fix. the dreamwear is not that good for side sleeping. Leaking around the nose when sleeping on the side, and the cushion around the mouth maybe too small

[@CPAPReviews]

Thanks for your feedback and insight

[@johnsutton6584]

I fully agree with your Dreamwear FF comment. I can get near perfect AHI=0 but only if it's so tight it leaves welts because the nose cushion is simply too flat, not rounded like 30i, and it leaks when I'm on my side or I move much at all.

[@bobirwin1028]

I prefer the ResMed F-30 and the ResMed F-20 and really do not like the ResMed F-30i. I use a ResMed S-10 BiPAP and I hate the noise of the air going over the side of my head. Perhaps, with a CPAP, and constant noise, this may not be an issue,

[@tylerbrown1457]

ganesh ghimire At my VA they let me keep 2 masks they tried during the sleep study (ResMed F10 Full Face and Dreamwear Nasal) THEN when they shipped me my Aircurve 10 ASV they ordered an F20 since I preferred the full face mask during the sleep study. Now the F20 has caused bleeding and marks on the bridge of my nose so they’ve just ordered me an F30i fit kit with all 3 mask sizes so I can pick the best one. Sounds like your VA clinic is screwing you which is typical of the VA, I’m lucky to have moved right next to the absolute best VA in the entire country so my experience probably isn’t typical.

[@ninjazxd]

I just ordered one through the VA. I have the P30i and N30i and I love the N30i the most but with both of them I wake up a lot with the mask on top of my nose or on my forehead. Really annoying and last night was the event that caused me to message the VA sleep clinic to try the F30i. I figure with it having the second strap with the magnets may help with it creeping up. I run the climate line on my air sense 11 and the humidity is on auto and feels great so not sure if I am pulling it off or it’s getting pushed off from my pillow and my active sleeping.

[@rickr1689]

Ive been on a cpap for 14 years now and tried all kinds of masks but always go back to the full face.

Hi Rick, yep for some that's certainly the most comfortable but it's always worth trialling a few others too. Cheers

I'm using nasal mask N20. I've had it since November 17. The last four days I've had trouble with drooling. I'm worried how a full mask would work. With the mask I have now I get dry mouth and lips.

[@cherylsingleton3357]

@@gaylawalker1834 did you try a climate hose in your cpap machine? They say warm air helps with a dry throat, unless you're a mouth breather. I was told to switch to a F20 for mouth breathing. I tried the F20 but, I prefer my N20. I am training myself to breathe out of my nose. The warm air feels so much better; no dry throat. I will definitely try the F30i next.

I received my mask on the exact same day!! Yes, I drooled with the N20, too. I've never drooled in my sleep before! I love the N30i mask. I think my drooling has lessened. I just sleep with a washcloth on my pillow. Maybe one day it will go away.

[@jayminc3442]

I use the phillips respironics dreamwear nasal mask, would this mask fit onto the same tubing or would i need a different tube?

[@sly9263]

I'm new to cpaps, so take my experience (lack thereof) for what it is, but I feel like this seal gets easily broken if you sidesleep and it gets even the slightest pressure from my pillow against it. I've got all of the cushion sizes and it doesn't seem to matter. Even if I make the mask uncomfortably tight, it still has that issue for me.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi Sly, yes some masks just don't suit peoples face shape or features and you will never achieve a good seal. You just need to try another one. I would suggest trying a more traditional style instead of the hybrid which tend to seal a lot better. A resmed F20, F&P Vitera are some good suggestions. Cheers

[@sly9263]

Mine issue is on my back that it leaks, I can sleep on my side no problem, but then my knees get stiff and hurt lol. I have a pretty hard pillow made by temprupedic. I wonder if you slept with a lpillow with less give to it of that would stop for you😁

[@debmorton3310]

I just got this mask two days ago and so far it has been a nightmare. I can’t keep a good seal. It has started out fine and my machine says the seal is good but then once my ramp time is up and I kick into the full pressure (I’m on a pressure 14) it just leaks and makes noise and rattles and drives me crazy. I lasted 39 minutes with it last night and threw it across the room.

[@horseygran9265]

Not for me. The tubes were too long and dramatically pulled my hair. Did not adequately reach my nose. The small head gear was too long for me. The tube on top of my head gave me a headache. I was with a provider who had no idea how to fit masks even though that was their job.

Hi Rosemary, thanks for sharing your experience with the F30i. It's impossible for the manufacturers to make a mask suitable for every head / face but this is certainly one that many love. Not for everyone though. Best wishes. Nick

The only thing with these masks is the magnetic clips break way to easily . Just popped another this AM .😒 So have to buy more again ! Also hard to find a clinic that will fit you during pandemic, all online...so stuck wanting to try F30i, but don't want to have to purchase all sizes to fit at home .

here in PA, clinics will not actually let you try on a mask because of the big C.

[@alexwill3722]

Hello! I have some input and comments, plus a couple questions about this mask. I have been using a CPAP system for over 3 years now, a Phillips Dream Station ( yes the recalled one and although I " signed up" in June two 2021I haven't received my replacement yet as of January 29 2023 ) with the F20 ResMed full face mask. I went with trying this one as the F20 would sometimes leak as I move from side to back to other side a couple times per night. I also get irritation on the bridge of the nose the first 2 weeks with a new mask but not after that. 2 Nights ago, after receiving the new F30i I tried it out. At first I was surprised at how good it felt and fit. One immediate " issue " is that there is a slight "Whoosh " of air apparently from the vents where the frame connects to the mask ( there doesn't appear to be any flaps to the vent so quite a bit of the air coming through the hose and the frame's tubes is spewing out of those vents. There is some noise although it's not enough to keep me awake but the air hitting my arm or shoulder etc. is noticeable even though I think I could become used to it. What really had me concerned was my Dram Station has a water tank and the hose has a heating wire that keeps the moist air from being too cold. After a fw hours of sleep I awoke because my nose and mouth were completely dried out. I never wanted the heated hose but the humidifier is great. Does this mask not work with a humidifier maybe because of the extra length of the tubing in the headgear or is the air rushing out of the mask vents causing the dryness. I also had a sore lower nose likely because I may have had too much tension on the headgear adjustment straps but maybe also because I have never had anything pushing up on the bottom of my nose?

[@LuRuello]

This mask works great! Tried the F20 before it and it was terrible.

[@CPAPReviews]

Hi there, thanks for sharing your great feedback. Glad you're enjoying the mask :-)

[@cleanqueen75]

I couldn’t breathe with it on. I couldn’t sleep on my side without it leaking around the cheek and above the eyes.

[@julionino3734]

The mask is comfortable, it just gets so uncomfortable after an hour with the the cold air blowing up my nostrils I have to take it off. I wish there was a mask without the nostril part, I have a deviated septum at the moment so can’t breathe out of my nose.

[@399paul]

So true. Size in person.

[@JohnnyWishbone85]

4:32 -- Giggity! On a more serious note, in America, you're better off ordering online no matter what. For most people, wait times for clinic appointments are so astronomically long that you can order the mask, try a few nights with it, send it back, get another one, and try a few more nights with it before you even get into the clinic for the first time.

[@konjstip6156]

I have F30i, and I love it ! The only thing that bothers me is that the cushion size M that I have, that suits my nose according to their sizing guide, has very small nostrils holes, and I keep sniffing in the silicon into one of the nostrils... I do have super large nostrils though, I'll get W cushion, but judging by their fitting guide, it should fall out too large for me, I guess I am somewhere in the middle, my nose shape falls into M, but my nostrils are super wide I can stuff both thumb and index finger in the same time in each of them... Basically my nostrils are at least twice as large as the holes on the mask.

[@elainebabor9975]

Can you trim the holes a little bigger?

[@konjstip6156]

@@elainebabor9975 I have two different sizes cushions, m and w. W holes are bigger and they are comfy, but sadly both cushions are slightly blowing an air stream into my eyes during the night and that wakes me up. The air stream is not big, its not "a leak", resmed data doesn't show leaking, but its annoying for me. Right now I switched to Vitera, and my ahi is slightly worse, but I sleep and feel better... With f30i I had almost no ahi, like 0-1 average, with vitera 2-3, last night it went up to 10,was seeing going up to 15 sometimes,but I lm waking up less and sleep better. However, I do think that f30i directly blowing into my nose was beneficial for me and if they made a similar hybrid mask with deep nassal pillows instead of nasal cushions I would gladly try it.

[@crystalmapes7180]

This was the first one I tried. I could not get a consistent seal. The open nose holes at the bottom were always leaking to my eyes but I have a very narrow nose. Other than that I thought it was extremely comfortable and would love a version that went over the nose bridge. The hose attachment at the top of the head was very nice.

[@jimotr1]

I currently use a AirFit F20 (Medium) full face mask. I tried a mask with nasal holes before and I couldn't get the holes to line up very with my nostrils, thus spent a lot of time tugging and repositioning the mask throughout the night. Has anyone had any problems with the alignment of the F30i mask to the individual's nostril?

[@shanepatrick4534]

Me too this is really not great. I basically can't breath through my nose with it.

[@williamdennis1537]

Hi Nick. I have not yet noticed anyone describing a problem similar to my own. I currently use an F20 full face mask-primarily because the mask combines both the mouth and the nose into one pressure zone. I’ve tried to utilize just a nose/nostril mask design in the past, but at some point before dropping off into sleep, I inevitably “depressurize” the CPAP-nose-lung zone through my mouth somehow, similar to a ballon flying noisily through the air and deflating. Needless to say, it wakes me right up. Any thoughts or information on this phenomena would be appreciated-thanks.

[@cherylsingleton3357]

I also had problems with leakage through my mouth. I was placed on the F20. I used both the silicone (allergic), and the foam. The bridge of my nose always hurt. The mask always felt in the way when watching TV or reading. I always had to maneuver the hose out of the way; so irritating. Then I tried the F30i (full face mask). Best mask purchase I ever made. You can breathe through both your mouth and nose with out loosing your prescribed pressure. The connection of the house to the head gear always you the freedom to move without getting tangled up. Less mask serving the same purpose. Nothing obstructing your vision or hurting your nose. I'm training myself to breathe through my nose because, I just want to be able to wear a cradle. I really hope you tried or try the F30i = best sleep with a mask in my opinion.

Hi Sue, this mask does have a lot of sizing options so if you there's always the potential that you do not have the right size frame / cushion combination but there's also the possibility that it's just not a suitable mask for you and you need a different style. The hybrid full face masks are always a polarising mask where some love them and some hate them. You will get a better seal with a more traditional full face masks like the F20 or F&P Vitera. Good luck
