Questions on Nasal mask types

Post by Edgeguy » Wed Feb 27, 2013 8:46 am

Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the Philips Profile Lite Gel Nasal mask to the Philips ComfortClassic Nasal or even the ComfortGel original (looking at really the first two only though)? The only difference seems to be the Gel. Does the Gel really make that big of a difference, and is it worth the cost difference?

I have tried the Comfort Gel and the Easy Life, but the nasal mask that I liked the best was the Mirage FX. It has the smallest profile of any nasal mask I've seen, so while it's not as small as nasal pillows, it doesn't feel like a full size nasal mask either.
