I don't know the size but the triangle seal is 70mm 2.75 in. Would that make it a large ?
So what nasal mask do people suggest I look at.
Thanks for your help.

Looking for a new nasal mask
I have been using the same nasal mask (Vio Nasal Mask) for over 3 years. I alternate it with my nasal pillows every couple of days.

RE: Looking for a new nasal mask
Check out the Optilife nasal pillows from Supplier #26 which sells for around $55 complete with three pillow sizes and headgear. They offer a 30 day free trial on masks which is always a plus, so snoop around there for something you think fits your needs.. I have the Optilife mask and find it to be excellent. I have no experience with the nasal mask as opposed to a nasal pillows. I have never seen how a nasal mask would be as good as a pillows (if using the proper size pillows) but to each his/her own.
I think many people try the pillows but use a size too small, which can cause nose irritation. I went from a medium pillow to the large and the nose discomfort went away. Dude

Return insurance is good idea whenever trying a new mask, allows you to return the mask within 30 days for a refund in case didn't work for you

I better stock-up, in case the mask get discontinued |
