How do you know when to replace a mask? - Lanners - 03-26-2024
70 days in, have mostly been using my Phillips nuance gel nasal pillow mask, but have switched off some with resmed airfit n30 nasal cushion.
( the strong jet of output air from mask 1 disrupts my husband's sleep, the leaks that blow in my eyes and tickle my nose bug me in mask 2)
Things were getting better with mask 1, but lately I just can't get mask to fit comfortably without leaks.
Is it possible it is just time to retire that one and order a replacement? What signs help you know when a mask needs replacing??
Or should I keep looking for a different make/brand mask that will work better for me?
Rep recommended I try the new evora. . .

I replace my f20 airfit cushion every few months, the silicone loses it's sealing ability after some use..
