Nasal-Pap Freestyle Pillow CPAP Mask with Headgear

Mary H, VENICE, FL – January 14, 2010

"I have had other nasal face masks but I am not able to use this one because the nasal inserts are just to big. I ordered MS and it is made for a giant. I called today and found out if I want to try another insert that the cost would be $19.95 plus. Thanks but no thanks. I will go back to using my old nasal mask. I have told my other friends not to order it, they were thinking it would be easier to use than the one I have now because it doesn't have any hoses beside your head."

Not bad

"The mask works pretty well considering some of the other reviews. It is easy to strap on and use. The nasal pillows(?) are oblong so they need to be rotated correctly to fit properly. When you move it may be neccesary to hold onto the hose so that it doesn't twist and dislodge from your nose."

Try somethingelse

"Have used CPAP for many years and have used a varieity of set ups but this one is the worste I have ever used. I do like the NAsal Aire and I thoght the Free PAP would be sinilar but I was wrong. I'll go back to the nasal aire, the only problem with the nasal aire is the the tubing gets stiff and they don't sell replacement tubing. They only sell the prongs that seem to last for ever."

Just not for me

"I have been on CPAP for over 6 years now and am still in search of a mask that doesn't interfere too much with sleep. This wasn't it. It was extremely uncomfortable, which may have been able to be overcome, but the lack of any sort of hose management made it useless. Every movement seemed to unseat the nasal prongs. Futher the exhaust for the mask was downright irritating. I have used the nasal masks (Profile Lite) which caused a problem when on my side and was hot, the nasal pillow (Breeze) which I've been using for a few years and worked best on the side but was a serious nusiance laying on the back, and finally this nasal prong thing. It was the worst. However, there is good news. I actually like the Breeze nasal pillows, the problem was the metal cradle that just was not a good design. So, using the straps from the Freestyle, the plastic top from the Breeze cradle, some additional straps from the Breeze, I managed to create a mask that was actually relatively comfortable. It is mechanically similar, from the pictures I've seen, to the Adam Circuit which I haven't tried, and likely has the same drawbacks but it is the best solution I've found so far."

Freestyle

"I'm having a bit of trouble with the freestyle because it's really rough on the nostrils! The plastic is hard and I imagine it takes time to soften them up. I ordered a size too big for me. Really needed a medium-large, instead of a large, but I will make do.
The order came in FAST and I mean within 24 hours! Which I didn't think was possible! So I'm impressed with shipping!
Is there something to soften these pillows with?"
