Nasal Prongs vs. Nasal Pillows?

[cby1]

Hi All. Looking at trying out some Nasal Pillow-type masks:

1. What is the difference between Nasal Pillows and Nasal "Prongs"?

2. What are the pros and cons of the two, if known?

Thanks.

What is the difference between Nasal Pillows and Nasal "Prongs"?

---------------------------->

Nasal prong masks are similar to nasal pillow masks, however the prong will rest deeper inside the nostril and inflate slightly against the walls of the nostril to seal with pressure. This is different from a nasal pillow mask which creates a seal by resting against the nostril opening.

This is going to be a matter of personal preference. However, prongs are a much smaller share of the market than pillows.
