Check out Pad a Cheek.
She might have a liner for your pillows---whatever they are . . .
Conversely, try a thin layer of Lansinoh, in the baby aisle (it's lanolin for mommy nipples)

Ways to reduce irritation -metropical wrote:the pillow are irritating my nostrils.
- Observe how the hose runs from the machine to the mask. Manage your hose in such a way that it does not pull on the mask when you move in the bed. You need some slack in the hose. Check when you bed down that the slack is there.
- Watch the manufacturer's videos on how to adjust the mask headgear. There is a medium range, not too loose and not too tight, that needs to be achieved. Many of the manufacturer's adjustment instructions can be found at youtube.com and cpap.com.
- Do use a small amount of Lansinoh lanolin on irritated areas - http://www.target.com/p/lansinoh-hpa-la ... m=lansinoh

Also, headgear might be too tight.
If you are getting "piggy nose" loosen the headgear.

piggy nose. heh, heh, heh. I may have too much tweak on the gear.
I'll try a thin coat. The supplier said they would send some covers of some kind.
thanks. all.
Time will tell.
