Most masks will easily last 3 months. The nose pillows are the only thing I've tried that actually needs replacing more often. Also ask if they replace the seal more often. My insurance replaces everything every 3 months, but the seal every month. It's only the seal that needs to be replaced very often anyway, unless you are really hard on them.

hi
what is ur experience with nose pillows , i have now nasal one and i get choked ,i am asking them to give me nasal pillow or full face what do u suugest .

Hi Ray,

I use the nasal pillows and I love them. Wouldn't use anything else at this point. I tried 6 different mask types before I found what works best for me. I find that I get 6 months out of my nasal pillows before I need to replace it.

try masks at a CPAP supply place then buy cheaper on net

they should last for years, not months

I don't think there is any place where masks are cheap, but CPAP supply http://www.thecpapshop.com on the internet runs specials of different masks that can be less expensive..

And barakafs is correct that most masks easily last 3 months, but you may want to ask your insurance about parts in the meantime. Most insurances will replace the gel face seal every month, if it seems to be leaking due to wear , tear or cleaning.

www.cpaptalk.com has auction for masks too. They will need a copy of your prescription too, but have some good prices.
