New Respironics Go_Life Mask
Does anyone have any experience of this new mask?
It looks quite promising to me and I might try to persuade them to supply one when I am next due for a change.

Good luck! If they don't stock them already, perhaps they'll say yes so they can see them ;)

If there was a 'like' button here I'd have hit it! Good news, and let us know what you think. Just had a rave email review from someone who recently bought it.

I have been reviewing this mask for our local hospital for some time now. Once you have set it up, it is very comfortable indeed, and does not seem to spring leaks and need adjusting every time you toss and turn at night. It even stays put without leaking whilst you get out of bed! It has not left any marks on my face either. It is now my mask of choice, and I recommend it very highly.

Have now had the mask several days and it is looking good so far! still making minor adjustments but overall is much better than last mask.
Can't for the life in me think why they call the nose piece "pillows" suppose it sounds better than "plugs" :-)

Sounding positive Derek. Most people have yet to find the 'perfect' mask, without some issues to overcome. I suppose our faces weren't really designed to wear a mask in bed :D I agree with you on why they call them 'pillows.'

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
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

1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test
