@jxg I tried both a Medium and a Large cushion. Even just holding the large up against my nose I could feel restriction. There was no XL available in the package - I'm guessing that's an additional order. I did get my RT to send on the nasal pillow inserts for the N30i. I figure I'll give that a try...

I may take you up on that. I'm already through my out of pocket and deductible for this year so it's all insurance at this point. Of course they insisted that I rent to own the machine itself. Thanks...I'll keep you posted as to how it works out and may come back around to get that contact from you....

Yes, I got the DreamWisp from CPAP.com and will send it back. All of this being brand new I appreciate knowing that I'm not alone or being overly picky about mask selection. I did realize that straight away with the N30i in that every time I tried to endure it I'd end up lasting an hour or two and t...

Thanks, Pugsly. Yes, you're quite right, the N30i does not touch the sides of the nose, but I'm guessing it is squeezing the base at the side of the nostril just enough to cause some closure up above it. Regardless, both the masks I mentioned to the same thing and leave me wanting for air pretty muc...

Thanks you guys for the prompt replies. To clarify, both the N30i and the DreamWisp seem to squeeze the sides of my nose so it's partially closing my nasal passages (mostly the left in both cases). I keep re-adjusting the mask to give what initially seems like more air access to the left nostril but...

I'm trying to sort out a mask as a first time user of CPAP. I started with an N30 which seemed to work pretty well but had the hose coming straight off the nosepiece making it challenging for an active sleeper like me (sides and back). I was actually able to sleep a full night with it though. After ...

Many thanks Pugsy. That's exactly what I needed to know. It just seemed to me that the N30i did not provide the same pressure as the N30. Perhaps it is a fitment issue as both have different fittings for nose. I'll try again tonight. I appreciate you taking the time for the prompt reply. No medicati...

Hi All - Total newbie to CPAP and to the forum. I am still trying to sort out a mask that works well for me. My RT had me try an N30 to start and I did pretty well with that except for the hose coming out the front (I'm a side sleeper on occasion so it becomes an issue). Overall though, my impressio...
