Fisher and Paykel Simplus
I now have a Simplus. First impressions are good but it will be a week or two until i can post a review as the first cold of the year has just arrived so I am up coughing multiple times in the night.
I find it interesting that the pressure of the machine helps overcome nasal congestion, so despite being congesties during the day the nasal masks really allow clear breathing at night.

I like the look of the Simplus and will probably get one but where is there a sizing gauge for it.
There must be one as its sold in 3 sizes.

Im concerned that it will give me the same trouble as I get with the Quatro FX so I wont get one.
I have ordered another F&P mask instead

Pressure sticking at 20 but with no leaks, Resp.rate over 50 !!!!!!!!, but AHI under 1.
Look for yourself as I have put my Sleepyhead stats on the other forum

I don't know why yet but it seems that its easier to exhale using the Forma than the FX and have stats. to prove it.
It could be that the inlet pipe on the FX is closer to my mouth than on the Forma ,or size of mask or even the air flow into my mouth is different.
I think I would need to try out the Simplus and any other mask, for that matter, before I buy . I have not seen any information about the exhalation performance of any masks but there does seem a difference between the two masks I use.

Hi Edam,

CPAP Total Face Mask
I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More

It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
