Simplifying mask selection Mask profile Scenarios I’m new to therapy. I sleep on my stomach and I don’t want to wear anything too bulky. I breathe through my nose. I often grow a beard and breathe through my mouth. I often suffer from a stuffy nose due to my seasonal allergies. I also want something that fits really well from Day one. I have dexterity issues and so I need something simple and lightweight. I breathe through my nose. I breathe through my mouth but I don’t like the look of the full face masks. They make me feel claustrophobic. I also like to read at night and wear reading glasses. I’d recommend AirFit N30i AirFit P30i AirTouch F20 AirFit F20 AirFit P10 AirFit N30 AirFit F30
