@johnbishop-John I would agree about it taking a year to sort things out! It was over 20 years ago and now on the 3rd C-pap machine, but I've been using the same style nasal mask from Fisher Paykel (Zest) that works for me. I do also use a chin strap since I am more of a mouth breather, but I prefer that setup for me over a full face mask.
Glad to hear about your results with the added padding that makes the mask more comfortable for you. As I have always said "the mask style & fit is everything" when it comes down to sticking with theuse of C-pap and you will never regret it!
Happy Zzzz's to you John & to all our C-pap using friends!
Merry Christmas to all. Jim @thankful
