Curious what is most popular. Also please feel free to post specific mask as well if you wish.

I said nasal pillows as that is what I have used for the last week or so. But I actually use all three, Pillows, FFM and Nasal, depending on my state of stuffiness, and my mood as to what I think is working best at that time.

Nuance Pro nasal pillows here. I wanted to try nasal pillows first before going with nasal mask or full face mask to see if the minimal face coverage would work. I'm not really claustrophobic, but I figure the less hardware on my head, the more comfortable I'd be. Thankfully no issues at all with it coming loose or off (leaks) during sleep, and I know I toss and turn a lot. Been using it for a couple months since I started therapy, and so far I've been happy with it.

You left out that the poll needs more than one one mask type.

Also the Poll is useless as are 99.9% of the Polls are.

Masks are only worthwhile if they work for you, what works for others has no bearing on what will work for you. Unless you are stocking a store and want to know what to stock.

You can go to CPAP DOT COM and read user comments and tell what's popular, but in the in it matters little, what matters is what works for you. Jim

Is the DreamWear "other"?

The idea of the poll is to kinda of see what type works best for most people. Knowing that then the reviews of that type of mask might help with making a better decision. I agree though everyone is different so no poll or anything will guarantee a good choice.

I use the TapPap nasal pillows mask for regular use.

However, I keep a Resmed hybrid mask (Mirage Liberty?) -- nasal pillows plus face mask for those times when I have a respiratory infection and can't breathe through my nose.

Masks would be easier to live with if there were a pill that would allow or minds to accept change, and process what's needed to make what we need work. Jim

The forum search will list at least a dozen or two polls for this exact same question.

And as I recall, the pillow mask wins pretty much every time.

Dreamwear is considered a pillow mask.

I Have used Circadiance Advance (cloth) after the first few weeks of the Wisp. I hate the feeling of plastic/silicon. it is sort of other.

Maybe the next time the results of the Poll would be different, would that time be insane or not? Jim

"Pillow Mask" CAN NOT WIN this time because it is not a choice

Hi LSAT. I did puzzle over this for a while and decided to just go with the specific truth that "Pillow Mask" <the word(s)> definitely wasn't a choice and both DreamStalker and SewTired used the phrase. It does seem to describe the Dreamwear better?

The *NASAL* pillows seem more like things you put in your nostrils *to me*. Or sounds that way.

The nasal MASK sounds like something hard with a tube attached that covers your nose.

...but a pillow mask does seem more like the dreamwear cushion?

I didn't vote.
I don't fit in to any of the parties.
I would've leaned "other" and I feel really good about being affiliated with tap-pap, but I now WOULD vote for *pillow mask* if it were a choice.

I think the polls are rigged here.
Jim is right as always.

He's a total thinktard.
