CPAP Masks for Beards, Mostaches, and Facial Hair

Some CPAP machines will attempt to maintain this pressure by increasing the airflow. I have also read some CPAP machine reviews which also says that this can result in quite the gale of wind escaping from the mask. Fitting a CPAP mask to someone with facial hair can be a nightmare for sleep technicians.

But it looks strikingly similar to the descriptions of the machine from those who attended the launch. A few CPAP suppliers from the Sydney area were present, and some leaks (not mask leaks, excuse the pun) about the size, shape and features of the machine have slipped out of some not-so-tightly sealed lips. It is a little secret that ResMed have been looking at entering into the lucrative travel-CPAP market for some time.

ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP Reviews

It’s been 2 months since ResMed began shipping their AirMini Travel CPAP machines to suppliers. ResMed’s entry into the travel CPAP market has given the travel-CPAP ‘niche’ a major shake-up. I could imagine Transcend and HDM – the manufacturers of the most popular travel CPAP machines shaking in their loafers.

With that – let’s dive into things and see what people have been saying about these units. Introduction to the ResMed AirMini AutoSet CPAP Machine The AirMini has featured within the top-selling CPAP machines overall on many of the online retailers websites since its release. This is significant, as the travel CPAP machines typically occupy a small corner of the demand and are only for those that can afford to purchase a second, travel-specific CPAP machine.
