I like this mask a lot. I use it with the nasal pillows interface. (I agree that the names are confusing - I would rather call the one I use "direct seal" and the direct seal version "nasal pillow" because they seem more pillow-like. The nasal pillow is actually pretty firm but I like the fit. ) Get...

Hang in there Willie. It can take a while to get used to being strapped to a blower and trying to sleep. I have been doing it for about nine months and now I don't notice the air pressure at all and have got my setup dialed in so that I can sleep on my back or side no problem. My wife notices more t...

I love my ComfortLite 2 Nasal Interface. I use the nasal pillows and it is great for back sleeping and once you get it dialed in with the straps you can pull off side sleeping.

Now that I have Aussie hose I can go with zero setting and air is warm enough and no rain out. Live in Pacific NW so decent humidity. Haven't been through th...

I had the same problem as well as occasional chafing/pressure sores. Started using Ayr gel on nostrils and it solved the problem and also helps make a better seal. I try to wash my face with mild soap before bed. But it was the Ayr gel that did the trick. I also keep nostril hair trimmed more regula...

I'm a newbie - eight days on the hose. I think this forum is fantastic and it has really helped me learn about OSA and xPAP. It has also given me a tremendous emotional boost as I adjust to a new sleeping lifestyle to know that there are so many knowledgeable, wise, compassionate, generous and well-...
