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.'
