I've tried 3 mask in the last 3 months. The Amara View is the best one I've tried hands down. I finally feel like this whole CPAP thing might actually work out.

[krishnadobbs]

just got it with the Amara view mask. was having difficulty the first few nights with the fit and leaks then i discovered this video and it is working perfectly with no discomfort. When you go in for your fitting the technician should simply refer you to this video. Its short and simple and precise !

Finally! A mask that I can actually use. It fits great. I have three issues; 1) I wake up sometimes with my bottom lip outside the mask. I just readjust it and go right back to sleep. 2) My mouth gets dry during the night, I have to get up and drink water that I keep beside the bed. I was told to use Biotene products for dry mouth. They help some. When I returned to my doctor for a check up, she was actually jumping for joy that I had worn my mask every night for two months straight! Oh yea 3) My husband calls me Darth Vader!

I have been using this mask almost a month and it has made my nose so sore that I am going to have to try a different mask I have tried mole skin to stop it and I have adjusted it in every way possible. I like the mask I just wish it didn't hurt my nose so much.

The Amara View - is one of the most comfortable masks I've had so far. It easily allows me to breath mostly from my nose. When it fits well - it seals well and is generally quiet. If it doesn't fit snugly against the nose - it will leak some. The easy fix is to push it up again so it is snug against the underside of my nose. This mask has eliminated the sore nose bridge that I get with all other masks. My only complaint with the AMARA VIEW - is the placement of the air exhaust vents at the top of the mask. Other masks have exhaust vents engineered into the hose attachment. I have emailed the company with my "suggestions" to relocate or redesign the air vents. I shouldn't have to wear an eye mask - just to shield my eyes from the exhaust vents. Otherwise I love the mask. One caveat - It might not be ideal for anyone who needs higher pressure settings.

Have been using ResMed F20 for the last 2 years, hate the hear gear strap across the back is painfull cause of having it on so tight. Running 19.6cm. Love the Amara View, I measured a medium but had to go to the large cause of having to have on so tight, I get plenty of air and no leaks and no head gear pain. And with the large cushion no more scrunched nose.

This is probably one of the most comfortable masks I've worn, but I always have leaks with it during the night. I've got pretty bad apnea and wake up 4 to 5 times a night even using my bipap machine. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to get the mask to not leak. I've noticed my mouth is usually out of the mask when I wake up which is probably the cause of the leaks.

How well does this work for somebody with a full beard?

[vijayavani]

Yesterday i use it my mask size medium but in nose egee paining pls give suggestion

[richardma]

This product is legit, I would definitely recmmend it.

I love how this mask doesn't hurt the bridge of my nose, as do other masks, and I can even put my glasses on when I'm wearing it. What I don't love is that my heated, humid air from my heated tube and humidifier is not coming through the mask. I get only cold, dry air through the mask. When I switch masks, I get the warm moist air again, so I know my machine is working right.

Can this mask be used with a Resmed CPAP machine?

[demetriomontoya]

This mask seems to do the trick but can't get used to it as I feel that the large is NOT WIDE ENOUGH for my face. An extra wide or large would probably be better for me as I have always use an extra large mask. This one fits somewhat but seems very small on my head. Another problem I am having is finding the placement of the clips after the mask is on my face it is rather difficult clipping the straps almost awkward and have to struggle to find the correct placement. Otherwise I do like the mask but because it is too small for my face I must return to my nose pad mask which works and feels more comfortable.

How do you measure what size head gear (the straps, not the mask) you need?
They seem to be available in 3 sizes, Standard, Large and even a small.

Just got a cpap machine with this mask, and I'm having difficulty getting it to fit properly without either leaking or pulling my jaw and face too tight. I do what you show in getting it to fit properly, then during the night it moves on my face and blows air in my eyes. Any advice on what I should be adjusting more to fix that?

I have a thick goatee and I get a great fit with this mask. My pressure btw is@ 13cmH20.

[TheGolove]

Can it be used with bipap machine as well?

[weldz]

Better than the old Amara, my only problem is some time i wake up my lower lip outside the mask !

[mayiask]

is this mask targeted only to patients with sleep apnoea (with otherwise healthy lungs) or also to patients with COPD or other lung diseases who need additional oxygen supply?
