I tried it for a week and while it's comfortable it has a much higher leak rate compared to the F&P Evora Full face. Also it irritated my nose. In addition I had a much harder time breathing with it. The swivel is nice.
Understood, you are correct the F&P mask have always been great for holding higher pressures, without leakage. The irritation I am not sure of maybe it was not fit properly too tight or too small. That may have caused the difficulty breathing as well through the ports.
I have to say I have been using the F30i for about 9 months and I just upgraded to the F40. This is amazing!! Such a game changer, my leaks are very minimal. It fell very comfortable. This mask is way better than having that plastic kudos to resmed for this new revision of mask😊😊😊
I have this mask, and it is very comfortable, as well as quiet. and my only issue is that I have a floating septum because of an accident and the little part separating the nose holes was basically crushing that part flat. so when I got replacements, I experimented with the mask I am currently using and carefully snipped out that little strip in the middle. that made it so much more comfortable for me, and I was able to get a better seal because of not having the pressure there.
I haven't used this mask 11:30 😮 for quite a while. And I'm getting real good night sleep the f40 is a winner in my book. And also I've been using the V-Con.
It seems that this mask with magnets was engineered better for those with Cochlear implants because the magnets were placed on front of the mask making magnets 9”+ away from implant! Hopefully the magnet strength was not increased compared to nasal magnets.
I currently have the F&P solo and wear with a Chin strap. The solo is great apart from the lack of diffuser and I always feel like I’m pulling the headgear away from the edge of my eye area…..maybe this would fix both problems though have never gone full face before.
Yes, the full face mask tend to leak a little more. However that is simply a matter of adjustment maybe make looser or just pull away from the fac and readjust. It will not be an air tight seal all through the night unless you stay still. Sometimes it may.
I've never understood why anyone would read or watch TV with their cpap mask on. It's for sleeping. If I read or watch TV in bed, I put my mask on when I lie down to sleep.
Hi, Yes, I would say the reason is if they are prone to dozing off to put on before they fall asleep. Same goes for in the bed instead of forgetting or waiting until they are super tired then putting it on.
I would try the N20 without the chinstrap and practice for a week or two. You may be able to get used to it and still get the benefit. If not yes you would switch to a full face mask.
You are a good example of how people spread false information for money. Yes, I believed you and bought this mask for a lot of money. Why did I do this? I have been sleeping with my beloved “Mirage Quattro” mask for over 15 years without a single problem. ResMed stopped selling them in my country some time ago. Spare parts are also becoming scarce at the dealers. So I thought I would try sleeping with an F40. I haven't had inflamed eyes for ever. I also slept a maximum of 1.5 hours at a time. After that I was regularly woken up by coughing. Btw: my AIH went from average 1,5 up over 7!!! And that's only because the mask leaks very easy! (Don’t tell me about adjustment. Even my health care center could not help me!) You should be ashamed of yourself for misinforming those affected!!!
I am sorry that you had to experience that. Please take into account that not all CPAP masks work for everyone, but that doesn't mean that the information available about the mask is misinformation. Again, I am sorry you had a terrible experience with the F40 mask.
there is nothing best about the F40 mask. even on this channel i could hear the statement that the mask is very good for people who turn from one side to the other during sleep. this is not true at all. it leaks immediately! for me it is another failure of the ResMed company and has the highest price of all masks!!!
I feel the same about the F30i. I really liked the dreamwear nasal cradle, so I thought I would like this mask as well. Boy was I wrong! I couldn't breathe properly with that thing on. I'm now wearing a quattro air and it's so good!

Wow, if that worked for you we are glad to hear. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the information. I just bought one.
Hope you enjoy it!

So far, for every mask I've used, I've needed a large sized headgear. My hat size is 7 5/8. What sixe headgear would you recommend for me??
I would say the same to be safe.
Just got this last week but it seems the seal breaks often.

@@Sleeplayground NO its a misconstruct of ResMed and costs way more then other masks!
Finally got my F40 mask and you are correct, it’s the best fitting mask I have used.
can you buy and use different sized silicon cushions to fit the headgear size you have?
Yes, there are different cushion option that fit the same frame.

Hi,
Yes, I would say the reason is if they are prone to dozing off to put on before they fall asleep. Same goes for in the bed instead of forgetting or waiting until they are super tired then putting it on.
Does it work with the bipap.
Yes, the F40 mask with any form of PAP therapy.
Don’t think it will convert me from my extremely comfortable F20 AirTouch.
Should I go from an N20 medium to this mask? I'd like to not wear a chin strap to keep my mouth shut. And is the f40 good with the beard?
I would try the N20 without the chinstrap and practice for a week or two. You may be able to get used to it and still get the benefit. If not yes you would switch to a full face mask.
dont use it!
Do I change the setting to pillows with the F40?
No that would be a full face.
Is the headgear for the F40 the same as the F20?
No, they are not.
Is it ok to have your mouth open with the F40 mask ???
Thanks for reaching out! Yes, that is exactly what the full face mask are made for.
GladToSee . . .

hi
How are you!
You are a good example of how people spread false information for money.
Yes, I believed you and bought this mask for a lot of money.

CPAP masks are mainly user preference. Please keep in mind that what works for you may not work for everyone else.
