Anyone used the Infinity mask or have any info on it?

Infinity

I've been using the Infinity for about a week now and am ready to trade it in for something else. I sleep on my side and have found that I have to swivel the tube (for lack of better description) up toward my head when I lay down (on my left side). Then I have to to make sure it stays where I put it because if I move (or the tube moves), the nasal mask shifts and I either get leaks or a sore nose. I also have to reposition the tube and nasal mask everytime I turn over. This is leaving me VERY VERY tired. I'm trying to find another alternative (see my post above). What type of masks have you tried??

I'm looking into the comfort curve or the SNAPP mask. I've been reading alot of comments on the comfort curve but not much on the SNAPP. Have you researched either of these? I was thinking about the Swift, but I'm thinking I'll have the same issues that I have with the Infinity....Sunshine2
