Looking for the Holy Grail: PERSONAL MASK FITTING!

[morethanseven]

Am posting on behalf of my Mum. She has tried 7 masks from the NHS clinic over the last 2 years and they have all leaked. Depsite her apnea being untreated she has been discharged as the NHS have no other masks. However, just getting on with it, is not an option, Treatment is our option!

She hasn't tried mask liners yet (have noticed on here how many people recommend them so we will try those).

I have a simple request! Other than the NHS or a private clinic, is there a company we can go to, who will show us a range of masks with a fitting session so that we can find a mask which fits?

I haved searched the internet, a lot, and am going round in circles.

Thank you in advance of any leads!

Well, they are private but they only charge £25.

Go to Resmed or Respironics sleep centres and they do a 'mask fitting session' - try 'em all! Very kindly, patient people will help your mother whilst she lays on a couch and tries on masks like shoes at her favourite shop.

She does not have to buy a mask from them.
