Any CPAPers who have tried or are trying the BRAVO can you give feedback on the pros and cons?

BRAVO Feedback?? Pros and Cons
Debbie,
I've been using the Bravo (with my chin strap) for the past 6 nights. In the past, I have used the Swift.
My summary feedback is that it is very soft, comfortable and quiet. The reservoir (barrel) can be rotated to get the correct angle of the nasal pillows. Once I rotated the reservoir a bit to get the correct angle, the seal was great. I get no major leaks even when I toss and turn during sleep. I'm primarily sleep on my back and sides. It is comfortable for both positions.
Pros*
1. Soft, comfortable pillows that seal well
2. Very quiet (quieter than the Swift)
3. Very comfy headgear, I don't see a need for padacheeks. Unlike the Swift, there are no buckles on the back of the head that you have to sleep on.
4. Allows for different sleep positions (back sleeping, side sleeping etc).
Cons*
1. It is a nasal pillow. So, you might get sore nares unless you are used to nasal pillows and/or use Ayr gel.
Hope this helps.
