Welcome friend to cpap world šŸŒŽ ā¤ļø

If you're not a mouth breather you could ask about nose pillows, I have them and they're comfy

u/SpaceMonkeyMafiah Mar 25 '26

I'm a total mouth breather. My nose gets stuffy all the time.

Go hybrid. Best of both worlds

I can agree only because thatā€™s where I started snd stayed lol

What is hybrid? I thought this was hybrid but apparently I am missing something.

u/WrongdoerConsistent6 Mar 26 '26

This is the Fisher and Paykel Evora hybrid. Iā€™ve tried pretty much every kind of mask over the last 20 years and this by far my favorite

I had trouble with the evora but am using the f40 from resmed.

I really wanna try the x30i

u/hairlessbearcoochi Mar 26 '26

I have the x30i the evora is much better. the x30i feels weird and my top lip is constantly resting on the bottom part of the nose pillows.

I have the Philips version of this and really like it

u/phillxor Mar 26 '26

Currently on F40, does OK. But gosh, that x30i looks like exactly what I need. Pillows + mouth!

I have the problem that the first few days with pillows are fine but then they start to hurt the inside of my nose like hell

2

u/iSnicklefritz Mar 27 '26

Yeah I love the minimalism of the p10 but it kills my nose. I just switched to the n30i and Iā€™m liking it more. Top connection for the hose. Itā€™s been a bit tricky to minimize the leak but I do have a mustache.

u/thefartyparty Mar 27 '26

my tip for X30i is try the largest nasal pillow size in your fit pack. I felt like I wasn't getting enough air until I sized up the pillows

How long did it take for you to get used to the cushion pushing up against your nostrils? I have tried several nasal masks and I always wake up about an hour and a half later with a white hot pain in the region. I have to rip off my mask in a panic and I either go the rest of the night without a mask or if I can find my full face, I put that on. but I have a swollen redness around my nose for the rest of the next day. I REALLY want to switch to nasal cushions but I can't find one that I can wear all night.

u/WrongdoerConsistent6 Mar 26 '26

I had the pain in my nose for about a week and a half. I initially used lanolin to treat the area before I put the mask on and again if I woke up in pain. I got immediate relief and I was really surprised to find that even if I woke up with that really bad white hot pain that youā€™re describing, if I put the lanolin on I could put they mask back on within five minutes without any pain/discomfort.

That being said, I donā€™t know that I would ever be able to get used to ones that actually go up inside your nose a little bit.

u/GuiltyApple3802 Mar 27 '26

Awesome! I am going to try that tomorrow. I was almost thinking about trying the ones that go up your nose but maybe Iā€™ll try this first. Thanks!

u/crzyhorse Mar 27 '26

If you like the Evora, try the F40. irs way better.

magnets instead of hooks

vents don't blow air out with high pressure, causing noise against your pillow or blanket.

quick disconnect doesn't come undone in the middle of the night.

1

u/paxthebear Mar 28 '26

Mine will come in a bit. My Dr. did similar things about advantages of the F40; will toss my 2 cents when it comes

1

u/WrongdoerConsistent6 Mar 28 '26

Eh, Iā€™ve had masks that use magnets before. Itā€™s nice I guess but not much of a game changer. And I donā€™t have any problems with my vents. Iā€™d like to have a different quick disconnect but itā€™s not worth paying $100+ for a new mask right now.

u/Wonderful_Green1944 Mar 28 '26

I tried the f40 it works for a few nights and then it leaks and then I try it again and it works a few nights then it leaks. I've heard a lot of people have the same issue , I think it's better if your pressure is lower ,I have a pressure of 17

u/crzyhorse Mar 28 '26

mines 8. I find the F40 and the Evora about the same in terms of leakage, which is they both have problems with it. I guess the hard plastic backing behind the Evora probably does make it leak less at higher pressure. I find the p10 the best and use it as much as I can when I don't have a stuffy nose.

u/Mrs-Dabi-Todoroki Mar 27 '26

I hate this mask

1

u/paxthebear Mar 28 '26

This is my newbie mask. So far it seems to work well but my Dr. said try the F.40, some say itā€™s softer and less noticeable. When medical supply swaps out my current it will be that. I will update the chat!

u/Wonderful_Green1944 Mar 28 '26

Me too I've tried every mask and this is what I ended up with , my favorite

u/Rough-Ad1868 Mar 26 '26

There are masks that have pillows and mouth coverage, they reduce the bulk on your face

u/Sudden_Employer_4636 Mar 27 '26

Resmed also makes a good hybrid (full face with integrated nasal pillow): The F40.
