Love the mask, long review

"Hi, I like this mask however, I got the wrong size and kind for me. I bought the Silicone in the small size. I ended up breaking out in an allergic reaction type of situation all over my face, with the peeling and redness because of the silicone. I have never had this happen with any of my other Full Face masks. I also can't tolerate the nasal prongs kind for the same reason. My nostrils get red and sore within the hour even with Ayr gel or any kind of lubricant. By the time I decided to go ahead and get the Gel form, it was too late to return the mask on the insurance I bought with it.
I've ended up getting this mask in Gel form from another place with the other headgear in the Medium size and I've woken up feeling a lot like my "old self" with a lot of motivation and wanting to accomplish a lot of things. However, I've gotten a sore on the bridge of my nose from the Gel kind so I'm working on getting a mask liner to work for me. I've got the REMzzz mask liner but the thickness is not quite enough for me, so I'm making my own. I've used many different Full Face masks over the past 6 plus years on CPAP, and this is the first time I've found a headgear that works for me along with the mask. I have strap and tubing covers on all of my equipment from Pad-A-Cheek which I do recommend.
I am using the Flexi Fit 432 in the medium size and I still wake up feeling tired and without enough energy to do a lot of things. I'm using this mask only until my nose completely heals up and then I'm switching back to the EASY FIT mask. I'm also getting the Sleep Comfort Care Pad for my nose bridge and hope the two things together will finally get me to sleep through the night and wake up rested.
So hopefully when everything is healed up, my combination of this Easy Fit Full Face mask in the Gel form,with the other headgear that's available from another website, along with a mask liner to finally eliminate the leaks and red marks on my face (that I've gotten from every single mask until now,) and the Sleep Comfort Care Pad, will enable me to get a full night's sleep and wake up feeling rested after all of these years of searching!"

"I am a mouth breather and have a tendancy to turn over on my stomach in my sleep. That makes finding a mask that is comfortable and that will stay sealed nearly impossible. This is one will shift a little without loosing the seal around my mouth. Its the only one I have found that works. I have three or four others that don't work.
I don't like the headgear that comes with it. Its cuts into the back of my neck so I use the Resporonics neoprene headgear. Its much more comfortable and is more comfortable if I have to tighten it up."

"Love this mask - once I got the gear adjusted correctly it is the most comfortable, quietest mask that I have found in 5 years of C-PAP therapy! I am now sleeping at least 6 hours straight and that's a record!"

"I was looking for a mask that would not put pressure near my eyes. This mask fits that requirement well, using the manufacturer's sizing chart, which recommends a size smaller than the CPAP.com guide. This mask seals incredibly well with minimal pressure from the straps. It's very comfortable, and easy to clean. It has one drawback however. At lower pressures, the amount of air flushing the exhaled breath is not adequate. I added an additional 2 vent holes near the top of the bridge of the nose, and that problem was cured. I'm not too fond of the air exhaust mechanism as designed, it blows too near the face. Even so, it's now my mainstay mask."
