RE: Full Face Mask with Beard
A number of us have beards and use FFMs. I keep my beard fairly short. The problem isn't the beard so much as the regular issue of finding a mask you like that works for you. Mirage Quattro, Quattro Air, and the F10 is what I rotate through.

RE: Full Face Mask with Beard
I have a beard and use the Mirage Quattro FFM. I have used a nasal mask and a different FFM. I have never had leakage where the mask is in contact with my beard or mustache. The leaks I have had were either around the bridge of my nose or through my mouth in the case of the nasal mask.

I only wear my full face mask and beard when I go to the bank.

Beard and mustache. Used a Fitlife total face for a while. Now use a F&P Simplus. Leaks arent a problem.
Ive used a nasal. my numbers are way lower consistently with one. But I have times I cant use one because of congestion. Insurance only covers so much so gotta stick with the FFM for another six months.

RE: Full Face Mask with Beard
My beard is so I look grown-up. At 52 if I shave it off I'd be carded all the time... The whole baby-face thing.

RE: Full Face Mask with Beard
Tried a full face mask. It did not work for me. Nasal masks too don't work. I settled on P10 nasal pillows but this varies with everyone, YMMV. This is the most difficult part of CPAP. Good luck and don't give up.
