Respironics ComfortClassic Nasal Mask review (small)
The ComfortClassic CPAP mask is an inexpensive mask that is ok for occasional use. I have it around for a backup when I don’t have time to throughly clean and dry my normal equipment however I don’t think it’s the best mask out there. I tried one out for about a month when I first got my CPAP machine and here are my findings:
Positives:
- inexpensive
- somewhat quiet, maybe a 3 out of 5, 5 being super quiet
- gel forehead pad could potentially be comfortable because of the material (but read on to the negatives)
- comes in small or large size (this can be a negative if you don’t know your size)
Negatives:
- parts are not really removable (gel forehead pad and seal that goes around your nose are stuck on the mask)
- doesn’t have a slider bar so the mask may stay in place while you turn your head so it’s easy to have an air leak
- single small forehead pad (made of gel) can create more pressure on the forehead compared to larger pads or multiple pads
Overall I’d give this mask about a 2 out of 5. It’s ok, but I wouldn’t order another one since there are better options available.
