One of the best, well explained and professional videos I have seen. You could tell by the way he relates the information that he is well versed and knowledgeable at his career. Thank you so much. This is going to help me make the correct decision with choosing my mask.
Great job, Ozzie! I love your advice to "be patient." I have used a mask for 11 years and it took a month to come up with a mask that worked for me. I am 86 and am convinced that my CPAP has allowed me to be active and healthy at this age. It is worth all the time to get used to CPAP!
I have the RestMed 20F with the foam lining, so far it is the best mask I have had since starting a cpap. The problem I had with the ones with nasal pillows and the connection is at top instead of on face is that it is too small for my big head, could not squeeze my head through the base even when opened up fully, I just have the 10 foot hose that helps give more room for those of us who toss and turn while sleeping.
@@Sleeplayground The plastic-magnetic clips on the chin of the mask. The part where the headgear feeds through, ha6 broken on my three masks. Each mask was bought at different times. So, it's definitely a problem and not a single batch issue. I'm very surprised you haven't heard that's an issue.
Thank you for mentioning the magnetic clips, which I need to stear clear of. I have been using the Rspironics Quattro FX for many years and it works well. I hope they don't discontinue it, since it fits so well and uses clips to close and has no magnets.
Had a big problem with my Vitera swivel hose fitting: the air flow on mine is greatly reduced and woke me up if the hose swings to the side. It's ok only if it's straight to the front and extended outward. This is very distressing. I had to glue it in place with rubber cement so I can breathe now. ARGHH! Also, sometimes the silicone flap gets stuck and blocks my exhale. They for sure need to work out the bugs on this one. I'm now using a ResMed N30 and also ordered a DreamWear Full face bundle to try.
I apologize for you issues with the mask. Yes, as I tell everyone some mask have different issues and you just need to find the right one that works for you. I am glad you are giving a chance and trying other mask rather then giving up on therapy. Keep trying let us know if anything is needed.
@@Sleeplayground Thank you. I've only been into CPAP since 4/14, but just now discovering it takes time and total dedication to therapy and a strong drive to problem solve to not get disgusted and give up. My provider and prescriber have been little to no help. I've gotten a lot of really good help, encouragement and guidance from YT channels like yours. KUDOS!!
Our instructions are found in the user guides for each mask. Our instructions generally provide that for patients who have active or medical implants 1, such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, magnetic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt valve or cochlear implants, it is recommended that the headgear and frame be kept at least 2 inches (50 mm) away from any active medical implants to avoid possible effects from localized magnetic fields. ResMed masks are safe to use when you follow ResMed's instructions for use, recent guidance from the Food and Drug Administration, and any available information provided by your doctor, equipment provider, or the manufacturers of other devices you may use. 2 In response to changes in technologies and recent post market information, some global regulators are revising recommendations around the use of magnets with some implantable devices. For example, on September 6, 2022, the U.S. FDA recommended that users (and their bed partners) keep CPAP masks or other items that have magnets “at least 6 inches [15.24 cm] away from metallic medical implants, metallic objects in the body, or medical devices that can be impacted by the magnetic fields.”
Thanks. I wanted the F&P Evora ff but it wasn’t available yet so I went with the dream wear. I hope it pairs well with Resmed as11 (my first experience with CPAP)
I consistently throw up in mask from acid reflux. I've also have had issues with coughing all over my wife as I sleep and didn't ever realize it. I wear a full face
I'm sorry to hear that! Remember, a full face mask is only necessary if you breathe with your mouth while you sleep. There are other options that may be much more comfortable for you!
thanks for this wonderful video. what mask is good for very small fans? I am new o cpap therapy, I've had a tracheostomy since 1986 for sleep apnea, my fat is tiny and I'm struggling badly with cpap.
We do love this mask and so do a lot of our patients. It's actually one of the best sellers, its just a little older. We will make a review on this mask.
Can I use the fit fitlife with my Resmed airsense 10? My F30i hose placement is great because I'm a belly sleeper. The only thing is the pressure around my mouth blocks my nose so I can only breathe through my mouth. I need a solution & advice 🙏 please
Hi, Thanks for reaching out! Absolutely, you can use the FitLife or any other other mask with any machine. Whatever works best and most comfortable for you!
Every single mask I've tried has an issue thus far. The ResMed AirFit P30i, the ResMed AirFit N30i and the Phillips Dreamwear Under the Nose Nasal all leak. I've tried the Bleep Dreamport which doesn't leak but requires adhesives that are one time use which I'd like to avoid. Do you have any recommendations for new masks to try that aren't full face and don't require single use components? What are your favorites?
@@af1966 Do you know any that aren't full face? I've recently tried the ResMed AirTouch N20 and I'm having much better results by the way in terms of leaks.
Hi ozzy i just got my cpap machine and mask and i have the f20 airmed full face mask i have already gotten a scratch on my nose from i feel irritation from it not sure if i should change masks or staybwith the one i have.
I've tried 3 different mask and still having 55 minutes of leaking in 1 hr time. They said I need to try the simplus f20 her next. I don't know what to do and I feel awful fighting with these mask all night trying to get it right.
I bought the F&P evora. I hate it. None of the masks sit well and are very uncomfortable. Wasted my money on it. gave me a blister under my Nose. It’s seals pretty good though but I don’t like it.

That's Great!! Glad you found a mask. That is the part where a lot of patient's give up unfortunately.
I have an F20. The cheap plastic clips broke after a week. So, I made new ones out of aluminum and now the mask is amazing.
Yes same happened to me . The cushion was awesome . But the clips are bad
I have rarely heard of that happening, I am sorry to hear. May I ask how long you have had the mask? and what clips are you referring to?
@@Sleeplayground The plastic-magnetic clips on the chin of the mask. The part where the headgear feeds through, ha6 broken on my three masks. Each mask was bought at different times. So, it's definitely a problem and not a single batch issue. I'm very surprised you haven't heard that's an issue.
I use the Resmed F30 and love it!
I didn't know Drake reviewed CPAP machines
This is one of the funnier comments we've gotten =)

Yes, that is a great mask as well. So far no word on discontinuing so hopefully they do not.
I use the vitria and the f30i I rotate between you two. They're both good masks and have great seal.
Thx, been thinking of changing to the F30i myself.

@@zivicabrankovic4607 what do you mean?
I use the F&P Simplus full face mask.
We love this mask too.
The F30 was so loud and I hated the feeling of the flaps moving against my nose everytime i inhaled/exhaled
=(
Why not Philips Amara View? It doesn't require magnetic clips. Also ResMed Mirage Quattro.
=)
Do you have a list for those of us with defibrillators? Thanks
At the moment we do not but we have noted it for a video topic.
I stick with Fisher & Paykel for magnet-free masks. They’re consistently putting out great masks without the magnetic bells and whistles.
thanks for this wonderful video. what mask is good for very small fans? I am new o cpap therapy, I've had a tracheostomy since 1986 for sleep apnea, my fat is tiny and I'm struggling badly with cpap.
I am sorry can you clarify the question, if it still applies. Sorry for the very late response!
What about the Resmed Quattro Fullface mask.
We do love this mask and so do a lot of our patients. It's actually one of the best sellers, its just a little older. We will make a review on this mask.

@@Sleeplayground gr8 tnx
Phillips has a recall and lawsuits
Hello,
You are correct but that recall has nothing to do with their masks.
I am a restless sleeper and mouth breather. I wish there was a mask for me?

@@johnlee3503 I really don't because for the last 12 years that I've been on CPAP I've always been using a full face mask.

A new CPAC user and I was given the F&P Simplus, but I occasionally get right eye leakage which causes a dry eye.
You might have to make some adjustments!
@@Sleeplayground Switched to the Vitera, much better seal.
Hi ozzy i just got my cpap machine and mask and i have the f20 airmed full face mask i have already gotten a scratch on my nose from i feel irritation from it not sure if i should change masks or staybwith the one i have.
Hello,
You can try the Airtouch F20 cushion which is made of memory foam. It will fit onto the frame of the F20 mask you have.
The Fisher will squeak at night when condensation builds up. Terrible
