My Nose is soar

"I wanted a mask that would work for me that would also leave my forehead open. I found that this mask had a very comfortable headgear. The cleaning was compact and easy. The only draw back I found in this mask is that the plastic inside the seal hits my nose and causes a raw spot under my nose."

Love it or Hate it?

"This is the mask you either love or hate.
After trying the traditional type that press a giant pad in the middle of your forehead and not liking them, I decided why not try this out. I loved it! This works for me just fine.
It did require a bit of adjustment to get it just right but it feels great and no pad pressing on my forehead!
Some complain about the leakage around the eyes; which I too had until some more adjustments and fine tuning. Now it fits great.
The only things I would like to see improved on are the way the elbow releases from the mask frame. The places where you press in seem really cheap and are kind of hard to find. These should be a little easier on your fingers when trying to press these in.
The other issue is the vent. Why the blow out the front at a slight angle design? When you turn and sleep on your side it will sometimes blow into the pillow so loud it wakes you up. Why not put a diffuser over this to not have the steady stream of air causing noise to wake you. This has also awoke my wife when I turned and the air stream blasted her in the face!
Overall however this is still the best mask I found for me!"

good mask

"This is the second Mirage Vista mask that I have purchased so I like it pretty well. Nasal prongs irritate the inside of my nose and all other nasal masks irritate the bridge of my nose quite badly. However, the Vista mask is comfortable, does not irritate the bridge of my nose, and does a pretty good job of sealing air. I use a deep size. However, the vent is quite loud and the hose squeeks as it moves around which disturbs my sleep at times. I had no trouble setting up the headgear but it does need frequent adjusting."

Mirage Vista CPAP Mask

(5 out of 5) by Richard S, OH
"This is the 2nd one of these I've bought, and I'm very satisfied. The only issue I've found is that the headgear strap assembly eventually stretches and wears out, causing airleaks around the seal of the mask. With the airleaks blowing into your eyes, you don't sleep well. I would like to see the headgear strap sold SEPARATELY, since it's not necessary to replace the mask every time."

"I've used the Vista mask for about a week now. I paid for it myself because it's too soon to get help with insurance. It replaces a nasal pillow mask because I was having trouble breathing. I can really breathe much better with the Vista, but have considerable difficulty with leaking air. I've adjusted and readjusted the headgear, and I think I have it the best I can. I tried tightening the headgear more, but because it's stiff and it doesn't stretch, it's painful when I change positions. Adjusting and readjusting the facemask interferes with sleep. The best position I've found is on my side, pushing the headgear tight against my face and the pillow. It is possible that I have the wrong size. I got deep because I have a large, deep bridge. Anyway, I will continue to use this mask for the time being."
