I just called my DME and requested the Mirage Liberty™ Full Face CPAP Mask with Nasal Pillows including Headgear.
https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... dgear.html
They said it should be in Thursday. I have been using the Nasal Pillows with a chin strap but I am waking at least two times a night with bad cotton mouth. I take a drink and go back to sleep but if this will allow me to sleep through the night it would be great. My leaks have not been enough to stop my treatment from being effective but enough to dry my mouth.

I predict you'll like the hybrid.
I had a Liberty but found it didn't fit my face, so I now use the RespCare Hybrid. It's great not to have to mess with tape, chinstraps, "rudolph" nose, etc. Best of luck with your new mask!

The Hybrid is a much better made mask than Resmed's Liberty. It's just so much more comfortable with softer pillows.

Good luck with it! I've used the Liberty successfully for almost a year and a half now. Didn't even make it through one night with the Hybrid. Everybody's different. Hope it works well for you!

Please keep us updated. I have the Innomed Hybrid myself but have yet to try it.
