Hi all,
Just thought I would share a nifty little hack I just did to open up the nasal flow on my Airfit P10 M pillow.
I had been going back and forth between L and M pillows. The M fit my nose better, but the Large had much better airflow. Especially when I'm congested, I prefer it, even though it leaks more.
Today I was looking at how many M's I had, and decided to try cutting a larger hole/opening into the M pillow.
Here's how I did it. The trick is 1) get super sharp scissors with tight tolerances. I used some EMT shears I have.
2) take the pillow off the mask, then flatten the nasal part, and then cut off a slice off the opening. Make sure you cut both layers, the outer and inner layer at the same time.
That's it. I'll be testing the hybrid M to L and see how it works and how it holds up.

I'll be really curious to hear how your idea works. I am between sizes as well. The M fits most comfortably, expect that the air volume feels restricted.
I don't quite understand how you altered it, when you said you "flattened the nasal part".
Looking forward to hearing about your experiment,
