All the masks fit well straight up and have little if any leakage. I wear a F20 and I am a side sleeper no matter how tight the straps are I still get leaks and the mask even slide up over bottom lip and also causes alot of dry eyes

Thanks for your input on those masks. I tried the Dreamware Full face mask with no luck same as you. I have a goatee style beard and have the Resmed F20 Airtouch. My pressure at it’s highest is 15, but it still seals great and apnea’s are at 3.5 or below. I guess it’s just depends on you physical face makeup that helps as well on what will work for you.

True, but there aren’t too many masks anyone can get a great seal on with 20cm/H20 for any length of time. Most people are far below that pressure. No mask is perfect and the machine can compensate for leaks of up to 20LPM. With that being said if a mask can hold a seal at the highest pressure for a demo, I’m willing to bet it will be a successful mask.

Just nasal mask or pillow didn’t work for me last time I had the machine so I’m a candidate for full mask but I need to keep the beard intact. Please advise. Thanks

Hi, I have been using a bipap machine for 15 years at high pressure with a medium beard. Started with pressure 20/16 and had bad leaking problems for all those years using the f20 and many full face masks. Finally this year my dr. lowered my pressures to 14/11 and I tried the F30 but could not get from a dry throat. I use a Resme aircurve 10 bipap with heated hose. I have ordered the Vitera mask and should be here tomorrow. Will give you a heads up on how it works for me. This has been a long hard journey. I have Central and Obstructive sleep apnea am 71 yrs. old. Ray, Oklahoma

curious re: using a dental appliance -plus- cpap. have the AirFit 20 now; curious if F&P Simpless would be a step up or step down. I like the fuller coverage, started w/ F&P 430/420? , but would like a seal lower to encourage open-mouth with appliance (especially if nose gets stuffy overnight; the AIrFit 20 doesn't do as well w/ the combination. -experience / thoughts on that?

I just watched one of your youtube videos. I am brand new to CPAP. I actually have a device but have been having extreme difficulty. I've tried working directly with the company that supplied by equipment but they are terribly slow or completely non responsive. I do have a closely trimmed beard. I'm a side sleeper and breathe through both my nose and mouth. My difficulty has been in getting a good fit. The review of your video showed the Fisher and Paykel Vitera as the best fit. Several questrions: Can you point me to the correct unit to order? Does it matter which machine I have or are these universal fit to the actual device? Which size? The one I currently have is medium. Other than routine cleaning, do these need to be replaced periodically and if so, at what frequency? Do you need any type of prescription from my doctor to place an order and if so, do you handle that directly?

Hello Jim, with a beard we are finding that the Simplus has been working better for our customers than the voters. We could sell you a kit to put together without prescription. Entire masks and fit packs need prescriptions. If you have one that’s great. What mask are you wearing now? Cleaning the equipment once a week with cushion of the mask daily is recommended. Many new CPAP people go through the same exact process your going through. Just realize it’s normal and you will find the right recipe for success. Just don’t give up. If you want to order the simplus you can call 4137337843 and ask for Alina or Monica.

I have a light beard. I bought an F&P Vitera. It fits and seals very well, but it doesn't seem to have any "exhaust" port. When I breathe in, it's fine, but when I breathe out there doesn't seem to be anywhere for the air to go, and the mask moves in and out, up and down with my breathing. The movement and change of sound keeps me awake. There are a number of small holes above the nose area, but no air ever seems to come out of them. It was quite expensive and I'm disappointed it's not working. Did I leave out a necessary step in setting it up? Is air supposed to come out of the small holes?

I've tried the chin strap, the cotton shields and some other make shift things as well as modifying the straps. I've even considered trying duct tape. The AirTouch F20 is the most tolerable (at least my skin doesn't feel like its on fire) but it blows air in my eye's all night. I would appreciate any Ideas you or any of your viewers may have.
