Not for me

"I am so used to nasal pillows that I couldn't get comfortable with the mask. Also it is heavier and (obviously) bigger than my present mask - RES MED SWIFT LT
I'm also used to nasal breathing now and don't like mouth breathing which the mask seems to make me do.
So I'm sticking with the Res Med.
I;m sure it's a great mask for others but not for me."

It's a winner

"I have used this mask for a week now. I originally tried a different mask and it really did not work (bad leak problem) and I was actually a little worried by the bad experience: would I find a mask that fit?
This mask took all of 30 seconds to fit. Done. Very few -- usually no -- leaks. Great stability when turning onto my side to sleep. Very few problems with discomfort. (The one exception is that the forehead pads are sometimes creating pressure points that create a dull headache sensation. There is one sweet spot on my forehead that avoids this but it takes few tries to locate it).
Wow. I am impressed."

Christmas came early this year

"Last week my Mirage Quattro arrived at the hotel I was staying at while on the road. Like a kid, I test fitted it at lunchtime, that's how anxious I was after a fitting at my Dr's. office a few days before. I could hardly wait till bedtime to try it for the night.
Wow! This mask beats my ComfortGel hands down in softness of fit and seal which is much better without cranking down the straps. I find that just positioning it over my face creates enough of a seal that the pump recognizes the pressure and turns on while I strap it on for the night, which is fine for me. It is also more forgiving side-to-side and doesn't give me the sore bridge which had developed into a morning crease on my nose.
A slight improvement could be the elbow, which is at a slightly different angle so it doesn't swivel as much as the Resmed, but comfort, seal and flexibility far outweigh this minor difference.
Yes, I got my Red Ryder."

Great Machine

"For many years I've been using a CPAP machine without a humidifier. The difference is just astonishing. This machine is obviously well designed, easily put together, and very, very quiet. I can't recommend it too highly."
