Re: Mouth Breathing Question

Thank you for the feedback Pugsy. You inspired me to try a nasal pillow and it looks to be a game-changer for me. Thank you for that. Having tried so many masks, my advice to anyone is see if the nasal pillow works for you. For me, its the most comfortable given its light weight, etc. And if you thi...

I still have some problems with leaks forming when I try and sleep on my side which is my preferred position. I ha...
