new mask
i have a new mask and the only trouble i have with it is the cold air that come out of the front blows downwards so i keep waking with a cold arm or hand. the only way to get round this is to have the hose down instead of up and under my arm. has anyone else had this trouble? on my old one the air blew forwards.

At the start of my therapy this was when I trained myself to sleep with my arms under the duvet. However, during hot seasons the arms come out as I welcome the breeze :D Which mask have you got now and do you like it?

its comfort gel blue and in the pic you wear the hose downwards so i'll have to stick with that.

Just been reading the write-up "......With ComfortGel Blue, we’ve minimized pressure points, reduced noise, and redirected exhalation air flow away from the bed partner." Seems like the redirection is at your arms then LOL

I have a blue gel mask,( possibly the same as diane's?).
My hose is always upwards as I use a Hose-Lift.
I don't notice air blowing on me.

A strip of Scotchbrite (pan scourer) loosely fixed across the exhalation port with a spot of superglue at each end makes an effective diffuser. Make sure you do not restrict the air flow.

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

"Hi
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
HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More
