Thanks for the recommendation. I have a Dreamwear mask, and I can't get the regular nasal mask inserts to seal. I tried every size from small through large plus I bought a medium wide. They all leaked no matter what I did. I also have one set of pillows for that mask, and I do use it sometimes. I have to tape a piece of gauze to the front vent to make it quiet enough to sleep with, but that works pretty well, and I can still feel breath coming through the gauze, so I don't think I'm rebreathing too much.

If you liked the P10 except for the headgear...
Look at the ResMed Swift FX nasal pillow mask.
Thanks! I ordered the Swift FX, and it arrived yesterday. I promptly slept 8.5 hours with a 0.9 ahi. I haven't looked at the SH data yet, but I'm not nearly as out of it as I've been feeling. I think I found "IT" after only 2 months.
