Is it odd that I can use S, M and L pillows on Swift FX

Post by fredmertz » Fri Aug 31, 2012 8:33 pm

Is it unusual that I seem to have similar levels of comfort and therapy using any of the three sizes of Swift FX pillows?

I rotate semi-regularly and don't see much of a difference in any of the metrics. Saves me some money, I guess, so not complaining.

Just wondering if anyone has had the same experience.

I use a different mask but have no problem using the medium and large pillows the mask came with. Can't seem to get enough air through the small though.

I guess some of us have 'pickier' noses.
Thank you kindly for the generous set-up!

I have always been able to use 2 sizes of nasal pillows both with the Swift LT and the Swift FX..in my case the XSmall and Small. They are the most comfortable for me. I probably could get by with the Medium but it is a bit large for my nostrils and since mediums are at a premium for exchanging (lots of people want the medium) I have always just swap with someone.
