Fisher & Paykel Evora Nasal CPAP Mask

Subject: Evora is excellent
Easy to properly size. Nasal mask is soft, but inflates just a bit for complete comfort. Stays in place better than most masks of this type that I have tried. It is the quietest of all of those too

Subject: Good mask
The simplicity of this design scared me away at first. However, after more traditional mask designs were uncomfortable and clunky on my face, I decided to give this a try. Since there are only three parts, the mask was very easy to assemble and use. I was completely blown away by how comfortable this mask was, at least for my face. The FitPack was a good option, because I was able to try the different sizes out and I ended up with a medium nose size.

Subject: Evora
Works as intended and was delivered quickly. Fits well, good value.

Subject: Simple Design, Works well
I wanted a simple mask, this is good. Works well for any normal sleeping position and it doesn't slip. I am sleeping and breathing very well too.

I’ve always liked trying new or interesting designs in every type of product I buy. Incidentally, that’s how I ended up with a Nintendo Virtual Boy. HOWEVER, don’t let my poor choice that time be an indictment against this mask, which I think is fantastic.
There’s almost so little to this mask that I don’t even know what to say, other than it works great. Harness only has two straps (back and top of head) and they’re fine. Nothing to write home about and it’s a little weird that they chose a baseball-cap type strap on top, but the harness has fit well. Super lightweight so that’s always ice.
Cushion is ever so slightly a little weird, just another area they tried a more exotic design in. Rather than sitting entirely over your nose like a regular nasal mask, it sits right under it and kinda cradles the bottom of your nose. I didn’t like it the first few nights but it’s grown on me now and I don’t really have any complaints.
Overall, the entire package is incredibly lightweight. It really does strip off everything but the necessities, and that makes this the unequivocally lightest mask I’ve ever worn. Also you can wear your glasses with this mask (or in my case, my Virtual Boy).

I have tried several other products and prefer this product by far. It is most comfortable and lightweight. I don't feel closed in or restricted. I am very satisfied:)

I like it well. The headgear worked very well for a side sleeper. The exhale was very comfortable and it worked much better than my previous Nasal CPAP mask. Very light weight and seems to be holding up well.

(disclosure, I was part of a free trial to give my opinion of this mask)

I have had my mask for one month now. The first night, I had to take it along with me while I slept upon my sister's sofa a few days while she recovered from surgery. Though I did take my former mask, in case this one did not work out.

I have used a CPAP for about twenty years now, I am a fifty three year old male and obese. I have a wide face and have had difficulty with mask fits over the years. I started with the hard plastic nasal mask complete with forehead mount and straps encompassing my entire head. Never was comfortable, always left marks and broke very easily. It seemed I always needed new parts or new mask. A few years ago, I discovered the fabric masks. This was insanely comfortable, but they wore out quickly and would leak at the stitching...worth it for the comfort though. And now this brings me to the Evora Nasal CPAP Mask.

This mask was by far the easiest I had ever set up. I did make it too tight when I first used it...but after re reading the instructions and watching a youtube vid, I saw that the nasal pillow just rests lightly against the nostrils and is not to be fitted tightly. When the air pressure is on, it will conform gently to the nostrils. I was also sent two extra sets of pillows one for a a larger nose and one for a wider nose. I thought I would have to use them, but I never did.

Right away, I appreciated the quiet, it was a bit of getting used to as all the other masks filled me with white noise, but this one was very quiet. The head gear is very light and really does come off and on just like putting on a baseball cap. I do not need to reset the straps to hold the nasal pillows again. It is by far the easiest, lightest and most comfortable mask I have ever used. There are very few 'hard' plastic parts to this and by not having to readjust it every time I go to sleep, I believe there is little chance of it breaking like the older style masks did. I can sleep on my sides or on my back, the breakaway hose does NOT come off too easily. I really enjoy this mask. One reason I waited so long to write a review was my desire to do a pro's and con's style review. I thought over a month's time I would definitely come across some bad things. Nope. Not yet.

It is as comfortable as when I first set it up properly the first night. I have never had to resize it because it came loose. It comes off and on just like the videos show.. a baseball cap. It is that easy and comfortable. When the time comes to repurchase a mask, it will be this one.

Again, I was asked to write a review about this gift mask, but I wanted to find some con's... I did not find any. In all ways this mask and headgear was better than anything I have tried before...including a full face mask in the hospital. I'm sold on it. It is that good.

(I was lucky enough to be included in a free trial for this mask, so full disclosure there)

I'll be honest. I expected not to like this mask. I have been using a Respironics (Model: 1116700) and really like it. Unlike the masks I used for years, instead of the hose attaching in front of my face, it attaches at the top of the head, and that was great. Out of the way. So going back to this style, I expected to hate it.

It does suffer from the irritation that all masks have for me that have the hose connection up front. My CPAP is at the side of the bed, so inevitably the hose slides off the side of the bed and then it's tugging at my face. Can unseal the mask-argh. Can just wake me up with the sudden tug-argh. This mask doesn't have a swivel at the attachment, which I worried about, but that didn't turn out to be a problem at all.

So... bottom line. I didn't go back to the Respironics. Here's why: once I figured out which size of attachment to use (sidebar fact, first time ever the default size wasn't the perfect one for me) this is the most comfortable mask I ever put on. This is all personal preference of course, but I don't even feel it on my face, or at least it is less of an intrusion than any of the masks I've used. I think the interesting "baseball cap" thing helps a ton, being a stiffer frame for the mask. I like this mask, so I will have an interesting decision when it comes time to replace the ones I have now. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Super light and easy to put on in the dark. My dogs wake me up quite often and the ease of putting it back on in the dark is important


Took a few nights of playing with the adjustments to really get a perfect fit. I had the side straps too low at first, but when i actually followed the instructions it was better.

The mask is not perfect, i do roll around somewhat and tend to incur leaks, but every mask has this issue for me. I follow the directions, pull the cushion away and reseat it and off i go.

Best part for me is not having the " mask ring" around my nose in the morning.

I dont think this will totally replace my other mask, i do like to switch up from time to time, but definitely one of the 2 best masks i have used. I really found nothing about this mask i did not like.

Full transparency, I was provided the mask for free as a tester, but I honestly love the mask.
