I called them a couple of weeks ago - they don't offer insurance or ANY money back guarantee if they don't work for you - that told me all i needed to know

Considering my mouth drops open as soon as I relax, I wouldn't dream of it. Also I have a tipped up nose and need to use an extra strap just to keep the nasal pillows in place with my Hybrid.

I got a diagnosis years ago then after loosing 25lb just stopped CPAP but never got a followup test. Kaiser has me setup for NEW TEST soon. My gut tells me Ill be back on CPAP. Sigh.....

I never had much luck using the gear but I know Kaiser via Aprea should have the latest stuff hopefully I can get something that works. Mouth leaks back when pretty much left me with a full face mask. But proper fit has always been hard (large head -- LOL). Also I see there are some good pillows now, I might try one of those too.

There have been some discussions about the CPAP Pro mask in the past but I don't remember anyone ever saying they had any success with it. Though I don't think that a lot of people have tried it.

It's just nasal pillows, held in place by a mouthpiece instead of headgear.

It sticks out way to far to the front, and from that point too far to each side, to allow anything even close to rolling over and sleeping on your side. Watch the video, and see how little the guy turns over, and how just a bit more and he'd be putting some real torque on the mouthpiece. Grab my teeth and twist and I'm pretty sure I'd wake up!

Hose routing seems to be severely limited as well - and in such a way as to make rolling over harder still. Worse yet, the hose routing looks like you couldn't even pull your blankets up to your shoulders, much less tuck them up under your chin like I do.

I see a lot more to question in the design, but either the rolling-over or the hose routing would be deal-breakers for me. No thanks, not even for free.
