I used nasal masks for a few years. I always had a red mark on the bridge of my nose that would turn into a sore if I didn't take a night away from my cpap about once a week to let my nose heal. This was 10 years ago and masks have advanced since then. Once I finally made the switch to nasal pillows I will never go back. I have tried 3 nasal pillow masks and they are all VERY different in fit and how well they stay on during the night. My Mirage Swift II are probably the most substantial pillows and stay on very well. The Air Fit P10 pillows are bearly there and incredibly quiet but took a lot of getting used to as they are easy to slip out of. They Swift FX stays on well, fits nicely but the vent is like a constant blow tourch coming out of the end of you nose and wakes me frequently from the sound.

What pillows have you tried?
