Re: nasal pillows - pros and cons?

I've just swapped the Phillips for a resmed, and resmed pillows too, and it's a WHOLE different experience. I'm hoping I'm going to start waking up feeling like I've slept, any day now! Meanwhile the resmed gives me a lot of numbers, and I'm not entirely sure what they all should be. For example, t...

Re: nasal pillows - pros and cons?

I'm in Melbourne. I'm trying a Philips mask at the moment. Keen to try resmed but the clinic I'm dealing with doesn't seem to have resmed in stock by default.

nasal pillows - pros and cons?

It's been 4 nights for me so far. I know it's early days, but I'm struggling to adjust. I'm using a nasal mask (I don't know the brand, sorry) and finding it difficult. My nose itches and I can't scratch it, when I roll over I get leaks (although minor ones, there are no large leaks recorded by the ...

advice for a newbie

Hi all, I've been reading this forum since before my sleep study, and it has given me hope (especially the success stories thread), so thank you all! I only have mild apnea (AHI ~7) but shocking sleep, never making into deep sleep at all. I think this might be to do with UARS (upper airways restrict...
