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

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.
