Amara View Mask with Headgear

Amara View Mask with Headgear

Terrible I’ll take full face mask anytime. Very in comfortable left ring around mouth

BEST CPAP MASK

I̢��‰�ve been using a cpap for a decade now or so and this is my favorite mask to date. It̢��‰�s very comfortable. Much better than a full faced strapped to your whole face. I toss and turn all night and this thing stays put. It doesn̢��‰�t matter if my face has whiskers or a full on beard it doesn̢��‰�t leak. I haven̢��‰�t read any reviews nor do I care. This was recommended by my nurse and I couldn̢��‰�t be happier. My insurance replaces my mask and headset every three months all I have to do is clean it every day with nonalcoholic wipes.

I have been sleeping with CPAP since 1995, been an Registered Respiratory Therapist since 1980, been a Registered Polysomnographer since 2005 and for me this has been the best mask ever!

I have been using a CPAP for 12 years now and this mask for 4 years now. Once it is properly adjusted, it works really well... The weak point is the headgear. After a while the velcro starts loosing it hold, and the adjustment suffers. Rating 4-stars w/ new headgear -- 2 stars w/ old headgear

I have used just about al types of masks over the past 15+ years and have found the AMARA to be the most comfortable and reliable to staying place with very few leaks. Yes, any time you put any mask over your nose and mouth to breath you will always have problems. All you have to do is ask anyone whose job is to wear a mask!

I've been using it for around 2 years. I wake up with my eyes totally dried and need to use artificial tears at least 4 times a day as prescribed by Retina Doctor. The holes that let the air escape just about in the bridge of your nose goes directly to your eyes, and when you sleep it's impossible to control that issue. Your eyes are NOT totally closed at sleep and that's what happen. For old people with eye issues it's very annoying

Mask slides up into mouth, and largest size isn't wide enough.
All masks are basically worthless

I do not understand the poor reviews. This mask is fabulous. WHEN PROPERLY ADJUSTED, this mask basically inflates and it is that pressure that holds it to your face. It is super comfortable and leaves no red marks or pressure marks, as my previous full face mask did. I would recommend this mask to anybody who needs a full face mask.

When I get the perfect fit this mask works very well but that is the problem...getting the perfect fit. It's frustrating at times, waking up from the leaks, the flimsy plastic peace for the air holes and the headgear. It's hit or miss each time to make adjustments and getting back to the perfect fit.

Tweaking this mask to make it a bit bigger, replace the plastic piece with the air holes and headgear it would end up being a much better product overall.

I started on a Bi-pap in 1999 and have always required full face masks that caused red marks/bumps from latex allergies or simple contact abrasion on my forehead or the bridge of my nose. That's the trouble that mouth breathers go through in the search for comfort. I got this little gem at my last sleep study in Nov.18 and it has really helped me but you HAVE to determine which size you need... for me it's a large because I am a big guy and all of my masks have been large in the past. I still swap out for a full face every 3rd or 4th day to give the end of my nose a break because this little guy can put some pressure on the end of your nose when you get it set if you have an average size honker. I still like it better than any other that I've tried and they also make an excellent Amara Full Face mask that is great with NO red mark causing pressure points and an adjustable forehead brace that actually works!

I have used this mask for 3 months now the Velcro straps could be better but over all good mask for me.

I had a mask that just covered the nose, I discovered later on that I was a mouth breather and would have a sore throat. I needed a full face mask...hated the idea but had to do something. I chose the Amara View because it looked as if it gave me the most facial freedom. Now I watched the video several times until I learned the way to get a good fit and how to use the mask. That really is the secret I believe to getting comfortable. I slept very well, if felt like I had a window open and was getting a nice breeze, relaxed and fell asleep. I hated the thought of giving up the mask that just covered my nose, but the lack of rest and sore throat made it a need....and now I discover that hey I like this one better, it does give a good nights rest. Just be sure to watch the video, and practice to get a good fit, not too tight and not too loose..thats the trick.

This is my 2nd round with this mask. I've tried others, however there were always issues. I find this mask very comfortable. It does leak sometimes, however, I just re-adjust it and I'm good to go. I stopped using this mask because my nose kept breaking out (zits on your nose is not a good look). I'm hoping this time will be different.

This was a very welcome change to the other full face masks I have tried. I have to admit I fought air leaks at first but once you have it right, it is the most stable and comfortable mask I have owned. Only two things keeping this from 5 stars: the nose cushion does occasionally block your ability to breath through your nose. Takes an adjustment but it seems the opening could be a little bigger. If I had a backup, I would try making the opening bigger myself. Secondly, and this applies to most masks out there, I am a big guy. This mask just suffices in size. A bit bigger would be PERFECT. Please consider an extra-large in this model.

After 2 1/2 months use of 4 different masks & a CPAP machine I was ready to "Throw in the Towel" even though I was a severe sleep apnea case. My Dr. recommended a BPAP machine & some type of mask that would not tear up the bridge of my nose & yet still work. The recommendation of a friend & my supplier, we tried an Amara View mask. It is not perfect, but it usually works very well, is comfortable, quiet & I do not wake up w the bridge of my nose being all bloody. I still have the scars on my nose from the "Over the Nose" masks. It may be a bit difficult to get it adjusted just right, but a little time of trial & error we have it working well. It has certainly helped me get better rest & I have no intention of giving up on the machine & mask.

I have tried many different masks over the years, and this is my keeper! It is very comfortable, fits under the nose and over the mouth since I am a mouth breather at times. I get a good fit, minimal leaks and a good nights sleep!

I was a little hesitant to get this mask after reading the reviews however I have been using it for three weeks now and it is working well for me. It fits right , is as comfortable as it could be for a full face mask and has stopped the mask leak alerts I was getting on my new Resmed Airsense 10 CPAP machine. I highly recommend it if it fits you right.

I first was given a nose mask and chin strap, then one that covered my mouth and nose, but had a plastic bar going up to my forehead. Went to my pulmonary appt. discussed things and they gave this one to me to try. It is the BOMB.. Love it!! So much freedom. I wear a small and if it leaks when I put it on. All I have to do is move the soft insert a bit.

This mask works great, no red marks, is comfortable, and no claustrophobic feeling that a full mask gives. The major downside and flaw in the design is the vents at the top of the mask cause air to blow straight up, thus drying my forehead. If you get this mask, use moisturizer on your forehead.

This is the best mask. Very comfy and easy to maintain and clean. I like to read before lights out and it doesn't interfere with my glasses. Fits well I have the small size and no noise or whistles. Thank you to whoever made this type.

I like the Amara View mask....I just wish they would make the cushion out of memory foam instead of latex!!!!!!... the latex irritates my skin a bit.

I have struggled with full face mask leaking, slipping, and cutting in to my nose. I had tried every single mask that they had at the Pulmonary Doctor's office. I went there twice to be fitted. When all else failed, the assistance said "hear, try this one. I usually do not recommend it but I don't know what else to do." Well, it fit with no leaks. She told me to take it home and try it out for a week. Ok, so the air blew it to my eyes. It did that with the other full face masks. However, a quick and easy fix, I now use a slumber mask. I could not do that with the other full face masks. The air would just blow up under the slumber mask and still reach my eyes. Now I sleep great. I can sleep on my back again. I don't even notice the mask anymore.

As far as my numbers, I have seen a decrease.

Great mask, feel as if it's not on. Now, if I can only get my BRAND NEW Cpap to not turn off when I have apnea. Duh! Works opposite of what it's supposed to.

This mask works better than the nasal mask I had been using, I like that I can read when wearing it. It does seem to slip at night which I think is a headgear problem. I find that there is less noise or leaks when lying on my side

The mask is great to wear and won't shift as much when you're on your side sleeping. It's comfortable to wear and is very easy to read a book or look on your phone. I would have given this mask a 5 star review except the hose that comes with the mask makes a whistling noise at times. If you don't position the hose a certain way it could keep you awake if you're sensitive to noises before falling a sleep. So I give it 4 stars instead. They need to design the connecting hose to the tubing better.

Amara View was great as a low profile full-face mask. It really checked a lot of the boxes for me - easy to put on/remove, easy viewing of tv, books, etc. and generally very well constructed. Like other reviewers, however, I found it to not fit as snug as I would have liked. I double and triple-checked how tight I had it adjusted, and it still moved around my face as I lay on my side and changed sleeping positions normally. I have since changed to the Air Fit N20 with a separate chin strap. The AirFit has a very malleable nose piece, which moves with me and does not allow air to escape. Maybe other reviewers have found the Amara View to be the perfect mask, but I think it is just not right for me.

After struggling with just a nose mask (two different styles) I got this mask and find it more comfortable and also is giving me better results. I am a mouth breather and was having trouble with the other styles having air blow out my mouth if I opened it up while asleep. This Amara View mask allows me to open my mouth and still get the benefit of my Bi-pap equipment. Not having to insert those nose tubes is much more comfortable with the Amara View. I am having good success so I will continue to use it.

I have been so unhappy with the full face mask that came with my ResMed cpap machine. I would keep waking up with cold, cold eyes and have to keep wiping the tears out of the mask. I got this mask and it fits further down on my face - and I LOVE IT!
