Review (5/5): Best CPAP mask I have found
Like many other CPAP users, I have had difficulty using it because of discomfort with the masks. With my doctor-supplied mask I would typically wake up at 1:30am and take off the mask -- obviously getting minimal value from it. Based upon previous reviews of this mask, I decided to give it a try. I have found it to be tremendously more comfortable and easier to wear. The sideways orientation of the tube feels less obtrusive and the mask is overall much more comfortable to wear. I find myself sleeping all or most of the night with this one. [I do still occasionally wake up around 5:00 am with discomfort, so the perfect CPAP mask has yet to be found]
If this were not a medical device it should cost about $18, so it's too bad the price reflects medical mark-up. But for me it was worth the money. I recommend it to anyone having discomvort with their current over-the-head style mask.
