Probasics brings to you the Zzz-Mask Full Face Mask with Headgear.
Made out of a soft medical liquid silicone, its design is flexible, lightweight, and very easy to clean. The mask allows for a comfortable fit and excellent seal without the need of a forehead support. Best of all they did not sacrifice comfort for durability.
Here are some of the valuable features which make this mask an excellent choice.
Lightweight Flexible Design Made from a soft medical grade silicone, the Zzz-Mask Full Face Mask has a design that is comfortable, durable, and flexible.
Headgear with Quick Release Clips The headgear can be easily removed without having to re-adjust the straps making it quick and convenient to take on and off.
Easy To Clean Due to its overall design this mask is amazingly easy to clean.
360° Double Swivel Elbow Port Freedom of movement and ease of connection is built into the design of the Zzz-Mask Elbow Port. Where the mask and the elbow port connect is highly flexible as well, helping to keep the mask in place if you are an active sleeper.
Ergonomic Contoured Design This mask contours naturally to the face with its ribbed support for comfort, fit, and seal enhancement.
Durable The overall design of this mask and materials used make it extremely durable and long-lasting.
One Way Valve Design The air vent holes and one way valve design of the exhalation port help to minimize CO2 retention.
The Zzz-Mask Full Face Mask with Headgear comes in three sizes; Small, Medium, and Large.
Do you move around a lot when you sleep? These masks are ideal for users who either sleep on their side or stomach or restless sleepers who toss and turn. There are a few specialized cushions that address this issue as well as most Nasal Pillow and Prong CPAP masks.
Indicates which masks come packaged with more than one cushion, pillow or prong. Masks can come packaged with ALL Sizes or a combination of sizes as a Fit Pack. This is ideal for users who have not tried the mask before and do not know the right size to select.
These masks offer replaceable cushions, pillows, or prongs. These unique CPAP Masks offer replaceable cushions as a low cost solution to keep your mask feeling and working like new.
These masks are designed to prevent mouth leaks. If you are opening your mouth during the night, airflow escapes and reduces therapy effectiveness. Users who are experiencing a dry mouth, sore throat, or sinus congestion may require a mask that seals around the mouth.
This property identifies masks that are ideal for small facial features. Any mask with a size petite or extra small will be marked 'Yes'. Nasal Pillow masks are ideal because they accommodate the size of the 'nare' or nasal openings, not the face.
TV Friendly CPAP masks have interfaces that avoid obstructing your vision so you can read or watch TV before going to bed. Any mask designed without a forehead piece will fall under this property.
Tired of adjusting your headgear every time you take your mask off during the night? Quick-Clips allow users to easily remove and replace the mask on your face without re-adjusting the headgear straps.
These masks have the least amount of material around the face, fewer headgear points, and offers more freedom when you sleep. Most Nasal Pillow and Nasal Prong masks are ideal for claustrophobic users.
The value will be marked 'Yes' for CPAP masks with interfaces that are unique to CPAP users with wide facial features. Masks with 'Wide' cushion sizes would fall under this category. Nasal pillow and prong masks are ideal for wide faces because the seal occurs around the nare, not the face.
These CPAP masks have interfaces that accommodate a wide variety of facial hair styles. Gel cushions and foam inserts provide support and comfort for users who may need to over-tighten headgear straps to help seal around facial hair. Silicone gel also helps create a fluid seal over the hair.
We tested the Zzz-Mask Full Face Mask in-house and overall people were very impressed. Many people said they would switch over to this mask for every-night use due to its comfort and durability.
In particular they liked the extremely flexible connection where the mask and the elbow swivel meet which allows for movement during sleep without knocking the mask out of place.
"I have been on bpap since Feb. 2010.and gone through 6 masks. I sleep on side and have seal problems. Resmed ultra mirage (2 sizes) both broke on hinge. 2 FLEX FITS 431,432. They were o k but very hot .The 432 had an extra cushion. WAS UNBEARABLE HOT.The cushion and the excessive head gear were a double whammy. Th zz mask appeared to look better than all previous masks.The construction is simple and light,Maybe too light. The hose connector has pulled out twice. Thead gear is not much. It doesnt fit my head properly. The resmed head gear seems to be better for me. It's a little smaller .With the resimed and the zzz I find it works best with a homemade chin strap I made from the pile of head gear. Over all the ultra mirage and the zzz are about the same in performance. The ultra is not durable .and cost ABOUT TWICE the zzz. The zzz is the best I've found so far.The search goes on."
Great mask! Sloppy head gear!
John K, CO – July 20, 2010
"I have bought this mask for the third time. It fits the best of ten or so others that I have tried without hurting. The head gear is made of material that stretches too much and wears our quicker than other other masks. I will continue to get it despite the harness issue."
zzz-mask full face mask
Rod C, ID – July 16, 2010
"Pros: Price is good. The sealing is average but liveable. No annoying forehead gear to rub or break. No gouges in the bridge of my nose. Cons: The mask frame is a little lighter duty than others that cost more so expect to replace it a little more often. Suggestion: Make this design with gel, but flexible across the nose bridge area."
Outstanding full face mask
Judy Z, NV – July 11, 2010
"Most comfortable CPAP mask I've ever had. Nothing to occlude view like most masks. Extremely comfortable and very easy to adjust straps if necessary. No leakage with air blowing into eyes like some masks."
a smooth forehead in the a.m.
Sonja F, NV – June 06, 2010
"It is nice to find an alternative to my usual mask, the Migage Quattro (size S). Using the Mirage for the past year has left a dent on my left cheek and I always have marks on my forehead. The Zzz does not feel as substantial and and I have to spend more time making adjustments to avert leaks, but it is a nice alternative. Although I use a small in the Quattro, the size medium in the Zzz seems to be right for me."

Do you have a guide to help me choose the right mask?

How often should I replace my mask?
Medicare allows for mask cushion replacement every three (3) months and complete mask system replacement every six (6) months. CPAP manufacturers and vendors suggest these replacement schedules as well.
In our experience, most mask cushions begin to deteriorate after about six months of use. The silicone eventually becomes too soft to hold a seal and headgear straps must be tightened more and more to get the same quality seal.
We strongly suggest replacing cushions and pillows as soon as they start to soften. Air leaks may reduce the effectiveness of CPAP therapy and headgear that is too tight may cause facial sores at pressure points. You can also replace the headgear of your mask if it is stretched out or the Velcro worn out.
To see what parts of your mask are replaceable refer to our Replacement Part Finder. Search for your mask and then see all of the replaceable parts.
How do I care for my mask?
Masks should be washed daily in warm water with baby shampoo and left to air dry. Never use antibacterial soap as it will break down the silicone of the mask. Avoid soaps with lotion or lanolin which can coat the mask and cause it to lose its seal. A safe cleaner is the Control III Disinfectant CPAP Cleaning Solution. Remember to go to bed with a clean face, this will improve your seal and protect the lifespan of your mask.
The best time to clean your mask is in the morning so that the oils from your skin are removed. We recommend using mask wipes to make daily morning cleanings easy. The mask wipes are made from materials that will not break down your mask.

Why might I need a full face mask?
If your mouth drops open during sleep, a full face may be selected to allow for the CPAP airflow to be delivered through both the nose and mouth.
Some CPAP users move to using a full face mask after finding that using a nasal mask along with a chinstrap does not meet their sleep therapy needs. Some CPAP users use a full face mask when suffering from seasonal allergies.
