Fisher Pykel Full Face

 (4 out of 5) by Michael G, RALEIGH, NC
"Maybe because I have only known this mask do I think it is so good. I was given this mask as part of my initial sleep study. Well the previous version of this mask. For me it seems to stay put, the design keeps mouth breathers mouths closed, and the seal and foam do a good job preventing leaks. The head set is easy to put on and adjust, and the newest models are very quiet. The only complaint I have is that it can be irritating to the bridge of your nose causing almost a dent in the cartilage. I have never tried any other masks mostly because of the expense. I have stuck with what I know works. I have purchased 3 of these masks since my sleep study. You can plan on 1 replacement every few years. I bought an extra for use as my traveling mask.
All in all I like it, as evidenced my my continued purchase of them.
Buying from CPAP.com has been great. I order it on one day, and I get it in Raleigh two days later.. Great service, and good prices."

FlexiFit HC432 Full Face CPAP Mask

"at last I found a mask that I can wear all night, I quite often breath through my mouth so a full face mask is important to me, just a few adjustments to the foam insert with a sharp knife and I also have a good seal"

First time buyer

"I have used a CPAP machine for 4 years now and previously purchased all my equipment from a local medical supplier. After doing some online research, I found cpap.com and decided to give them a try as I needed a mask shipped overnight to me while working on the East Coast. I already knew what mask I used so I did not use the sizing or selcting options. Instead, I called directly and recieved excellent service with my mask arriving as promised, when promised. I would buy from cpap.com again just for the customer service but the fact that I payed less than half of what I normally pay my home town medical supplier doesn't hurt at all!"

HC432 the best full face mask
February 17, 2009
(5 out of 5) by Michael, Wadsworth, IL
"My new HC432 is the best mask I have ever used. I have tried just about every full face mask out there. My old mask was a HC431 modified with the foam from the 432 with moderate success but of course the foam didn't fit right. Add that to the fact that I was using a medium seal with a large foam, yet it still worked alright. The one thing I would caution. I stayed with the same size 432 as my 431. The manufacturer says to drop down a size because the 432 fits larger than the 431. My medium 432 is slightly larger than the 431 but I believe if I had dropped to a small it would have been to much. I love my 432. It got rid of the leaks around the bridge of my nose and jaw and stays put all night long."

a good replacement for the 431

"I tried this mask after being a fan of the 431 about a month ago. Although I found the 431 a very comfortable mask, I found that even though I replaced the seals very often and adjusted the headgear, I would get tiny leaks blowing into my eyes. As a result, I often had watery eyes (this can't be good for the eyes).
I ordered a 432 in medium with an extra seal (small) as many of the reviews here said that the sizing was different and the 432 was smaller (I take a small for the 431). The medium was a disaster for me, my chin kept falling out of the mask and I awoke with a terrible headache, a sure sign that I had lots of apnea spells.
I went down to the small size seal on 432 (the same size I use on the 431) and slept well. It is now my mask of choice.
What I Like About the 432:
- almost no tiny leaks around the eyes due the extra support the foam insert provides. Although the mask is firmer, I still found it very comfortable. I've never had a red mark from wither than 432 or 431.
- the headgear has been improved, it's more comfortable
-it's even quieter than the 431
-like the 431, it goes under the chin. This helps keep the mouth somewhat closed. (I till partially breathe through my mouth). Even though I have a small chin, it almost never drops out of the mask with the correct sized insert
Areas that Could Use Improvement:
- occasionally the silicon seal works a bit loose in the groove it sits in and you get a leak (this happens for me occasionally around the bottom of the mask). I usually check it before I put it on and it helps this problem
-doesn't include the various sizes of seals as the 431 did
so it can be harder to select the right size mask (contrary to other reviews, I did not need to change sizes or notice a difference in fit)."
