Comfort question

Post by lizzygad » Fri Jun 16, 2006 3:26 pm

I am a side sleeper and I wanted to know if the Nasal Aire II is more cofortable than the Nasal Aire I. Also, what are the other differences between the I and the II.

Thanks,
Liz

Liz, I have used both the I and II and am also a side sleeper. Comfort wise I found little difference, however the headgear on the II did a better job of holding everything where it needed to be...so I suppose I would have to give a slight nod in the direction of the II. Good luck.

I also used both and found no difference. Actually, I did. The prongs of the II are a little softer, and I found that they "popped" out of my nares - the I's never did that.

With my I's, I used a thin elastic strap from the hoses by the ears up over my head --- very similar to what the current headgear is now. But my little piece of elastic was much thinner and more comfortable.

I use the Aura now, and it doesn't get any better than that, for me.
