pillows probably better for beginners

[ozij]

I was browsing for articles when I ran into this:

Conclusions: Nasal pillows are a well-tolerated and effective interface for OSAHS patients receiving CPAP at 14 cm H2O. Use of nasal pillows was associated with fewer adverse effects and better sleep quality during the first 3 weeks of CPAP therapy. Further investigation is needed to determine whether interface type affects long-term CPAP use.

They were comparing the Breeze and a Respironics Contour.

Seems to fit in with the experience of many of us...
