For Sale - Ventura Full Total Face CPAP Mask
I’m selling an Ventura Full Total Face CPAP Mask Large and two spare liners. I bought it new from the Hope2Sleep shop, but it is not suitable for me. Only used for about two weeks so I have washed it thoroughly. Because of this, it is very much…See More

"No personal experience, but CPAP.com review of AirMini
The AirMini runs at about 30 decibels, which is about the same sound level as a whispered conversation. For comparison, full-sized CPAPs tend to run around 26-28 decibels. Due to their…"
ResMed AirMini for travel
I am considering either buying or renting an AirMini for a forthcoming holiday this month where I will be sharing a twin room. I have read that they’re quite noisy and I don’t want to waste my money on either rental or purchase if the noise level…See More

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
"I've been using the Resmed Airmini for about 5 years when travelling - overall lightweight and small and can be controlled by an App, but it does produce a loud whistling/wind sound for me which hasn't been reduced by an inline filter or…"
"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…"

Great to hear you're 100% compliant and have a helpful team at the clinic (you'll see here on the forum as that's not always the case). Well done for keeping going after having a panic attack. Sometimes the choices we're given seem harsh, but are actually good for us in the long-run :)
