I just started using Airfit F30i mask. Standard w/ medium cushion. Fits like a glove. No air leaks, no open mouth, no drooling, AHIs less than 3. Excellent!
I've tried all 3. P10 is by far the best. The dreamwear is not only a bit bulkier, it's also loud specially when you lay on your side, you can hear all the air moving. Also if you keep your room cool, those side get really cold.
Hello thank you for this, I want to get one for my brother who’s stopped wearing his full face one and I’m worried. What size do you have? I was just going to get him a medium. Please and thank you
For me the P10 was totally useless - leaked all night, the headgear is diabolical... if you move from back to sides frequently don't expect it to stay up your nose 👍
I have the Phillips Respironics Nuance Pro and it is the only Nasal Pillow mask I can slip on and sleep comfortably through the night with. Every other mask I’ve tried has driven me crazy.
I like the out of the way, down the back of the head, side to side movement of the tube on the Dreamwear. My first mask was a nasal cushion with the elephant trunk hose in the front and one night I ended with the entire tube system wrapped around my neck. I got a Dream wear ASAP and have never had the tube try to strangle me since. I did switch to the nasal cushion pillow as the nasal buds I also has on my first mask irritated my nostrils, but they were rather hard unlike the buds on the Dreamwear that you're showing. I find I get an excellent seal with the cushion and have no problem with noise, but I also only need low pressure to get good low event sleep.
nuance (dream gel) has a gel rim to prevent rubbing on your nose which is a great comfort innovation! i tried P10 and didnt like it; I could tell I didnt get enough sleep; I've yet to try brevida... thanks for your review... :)
I have used the P10 for several years now and my biggest complaint has been how hard it is to exhale through the mask. Do you ever hear others complain about this?
We have heard that on almost every mask over the years, but especially on Pillow style masks. If you move to a traditional nasal style you may see a difference in the exhalation feeling. They do cover more of the face though.
I’ve been using the Phillips Dreamwear for about 3 years and I’ve recently noticed my already thinning hair is starting to thin more under the top portion of the headgear. Ouch ! Other than that the mask is very comfortable and works well for me but because of the hair issue I’m looking into other types of masks.
Yeh that silicone can pull on the hair a bit. There are little cloth covers that come with the mask that are designed to go over the cheek parts. Some people use them on top instead to help the hair pulling issue.
Great information except, how do you select the correct size nasal pillows them selves, small, medium, or large? Is it the width of the nose, is it the distance from the center of one nostril to the next?
It is the size of the nostril on almost every model. The larger your nostril, the larger the pillow you need. All of the masks discussed in this video can be purchased as a fitpack with all sizes included though.
Just got diagnosed with hypopnea (not apnea apparently?) and definitely need the on the top hose one. I roll from side to side several times until I finally fall asleep. I hope I can get used to this thing ugh
I have been using the P10's for years and they have been doing a really good job until now. The last pillows I received do not pop out easily at all for cleaning and replacing, you have to press down hard on the clips that secure it in the mask to remove them. They also feel very different even though they are marked as the same size I normally wear. I am also having issue with sealing every single night and this has never happened before. I would get an occasional "red frown" for mask seal on my Resmed machine but now it appears every morning when I awake. Have the nose pillow dimensions changed, have they been miss labeled or has Resmed changed vendors for their air pillows? I have adjusted my head strap in every conceivable way from loose to tight but still get a mask seal alert. Something has changed and I cannot put my finger on it.
I am really sorry to hear that you are struggling. There have been no changes that I have been made aware of. Might be worth replacing it, in case you have a bad product somehow. I have a link to our listing for reference. If you bought it from us we would be happy to get you a replacement. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/nasal-pillow-masks/airfit-p10-nasal-pillow-mask
It is a performance based issue. We have an awesome blog on that linked below. I will say that changing them monthly seems to keep the performance of the cushion pretty darn high. So every 1-2 months would be a good bet.
I currently have the Brevida but while the x-small / small is a really good fit, I often feel that not enough air is coming through. The larger mask that comes with it provides better airflow but is top-heavy and pulls away from my face. Perhaps F&P need to have a version specifically for women with a small/medium option.
Any of the under nose masks should do the trick. Links to a couple below. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/nasal-pillow-masks/dreamwear-silicone-nasal-pillow-cpap-mask cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/nasal-pillow-masks/fisher-paykel-brevida-nasal-pillow-cpap-mask
Tried the P10 - they're joking with that headgear... the pillows are ok though, good venting arrangement - just don't expect them to stay up your nose overnight 😅
We do have a lot of customers with long hair that have trouble with that. Not sure if that is what you are dealing with. You can pull some or all of the hair above the headgear strap to help. Or move to a mask that has more stable headgear. Like a traditional nasal cpap mask.
F20 is still made. It is just in the Full Face category. So we didn't have it in this video. I also may not have made the cut for the top full face video, but here is a link to it for reference. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/full-face-masks/resmed-f20-full-face-mask
@@CPAPmyway I was using the AirFit P10. I did love it and my AHI was 71. I had 1 night of ahi 4 and ahi 7. So it was doing good but then it really irritated my nose so bad I had to get another mask. Im getting the WISP mask.
I just tried the Dreamwear Gel. I'm a side sleeper and I felt like the pressure from my cheek reduced the flow slightly. i realize that the air should be rechanneled to the other side, but it felt marginal to me. I felt like I was struggling to breath during the night. Am I imagining this?
I certainly would never say that you are imagining it. However, the mask is designed to redirect the air through the other side. With that being said I am sure that there is a difference in the feeling when that happens. I would recommend a visit to the Dr with the compliance report to verify what is actually happening.
I have been using the ResMed nose pillows and I feel like my nose has gotten wider. Has this happened to anyone? Yesterday I got a different model which covers my entire nose and I woke up with a rash around the nose area. It also feels tender. I really like the nose pillows because they do feel comfortable and easier to put on but do you recommend something that will make my nose wider but it's similar to the nose pillow.
Maybe check out the Brevida. It is a bit of a hybrid and disperses the pressure really well. Link Below. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/nasal-pillow-masks/fisher-paykel-brevida-nasal-pillow-cpap-mask
I do not have the P10, only FP Brevida as replacement for the DreamWear Gel, which is the noisiest of the three. The rash and the feeling of nose widening is because the strap is overtighten. If you do not use the additional clips for adjustment, it means that the strap is too small. Try the Brevida or search for a larger strap for your mask.
I have been using the P10 for almost a year. My AHI ranges from .8 to 2.5 but I never get a good seal. I always get the red frown. My pressure is at 12. Could the pressure be too high?
Unfortunately, pressure settings would be a conversation with your Dr. A different mask may fit better, but I would not be able to answer the pressure setting question.
Is there another headgear that can be substituted for the air fit p10? I have a small head and it just does not adjust enough. I love the nostril fit, but cannot get a good headgear fit....thank you for your help...jeanne
Been using the nose pillow mask for a couple of weeks. I haven't been able to use it for more than 2 hours each night because the.pillows cause my nose to itch intensely and I have to reposition the mask, then.the itching starts again and I end up removing it. How do you prevent the itching?
where is the exhalation port for the airfit p 10. seems to me the same air is rebreathed!!! this is what i use...scares me to keep breathing the same air!!!!!
I just wore my first pillow mask last night and I feel really good . Strange thing however is that the API on my cpap machine is really high at 16.6. . Is this normal ? tia.
Tough to answer that question. You would have to consult with your Dr to get a real answer. I do know that most Doctors want to see an average over a number of nights after making a change. So maybe it will improve.
@@CPAPmyway Yes , it did imiprove , down to 2.2 the next night followed by down to 0.2. the night after . I think I was breathing out a lot through my mouth the 1st night while getting used to it. Thanks for your reply.
I have honestly not heard of that at all. I am sorry that I can't offer any insight. Sounds like a good question for an ENT that has experience with prescribing CPAP.
Is it a possibility that you have TMD? If you do, be careful of masks that potentially retract your jaw. There are only millimeters of space between the condyles and ear.
I have a deviated septum so one nostril is narrower than the other. Looking at the p10. Will this be an issue? Can you send me a link to everything I need for the p10. Currently using several other types of masks but still looking for something better. Thx
Sure thing. Links below. Unfortunately the only way to know if it will work for your scenario is to try it out. But I have heard many people with different sized nostrils using this and other Nasal Pillow masks. cpapmyway.com/store/cpap-masks/nasal-pillow-masks/airfit-p10-nasal-pillow-mask
