Introduction and mask questions

[isabella]

Good morning. I am a relatively new cpaper-3 months now and have been lurking on the forum for awhile. The information learned here has been invaluable. I currently use the ESON nasal mask and it has been great, but is now turning my nose red, any skin it comes in contact with is red, and leaves me with the sensation that the mask is still on for about an hour after I take it off. Could it just be that it is just time to change the cushion? I am also still looking for the "perfect" mask. I have tried the wisp and it leaks when I move. Tried the mirage fx and it also leaks and I don't like the exhaust air blowing everywhere. One of the reasons I like the ESON is because it is so quiet. Does anyone have suggestion for good nasal mask for side sleeper? Thank you.

Three months is quite a long time for a single cushion. One month is more common.
If your insurance is no help, know you can get cushions for less:

As a side sleeper, I prefer the Wisp, but that is just me and my face.

Activa LT mask is very stable and quiet.

Thank you for the responses. I am going to try the activa.
