Mirage Activa Nasal Mask or Ultra Mirage II Nasal Mask?

Post by roster » Mon Mar 20, 2006 5:44 pm

I am using the Swift nasal pillows since beginning cpap therapy 12/27/2005. I am considering purchasing a nasal mask for nights when my nose is very sore. Of the two nasal masks listed, which do you consider the best? Why?

I don't have either, but my first nasal mask, as opposed to a nasal pillow interface, the ComfortGel, was very much quieter than any nasal pillow mask: Swift, Breeze, and Aura. It was a much more natural breathing experience. Slight noise on inhale and exhale and a feeling of air flowing over my nose.

I do notice my congestion more, however, but I really favor it over any of the three pillow interfaces.

I am anxious to see how the poll goes because the masks you included seem to be the premier ones.
