You would probably be much better off with a Ultra Mirage Full Face mask which will work with a small mustache. I also have a hybrid and it comes with 3 sizes of cushions, but I don't think it would work for you.

You can use it with a mustache and still get a good seal. It just wasn't the mask for me! In fact, I am glad I found it "on sale", otherwise I would have been po'ed that I wasted that much money - only used it for two weeks. Some folks LOVE it and swear by it, and I am happy for them. I will stick with my Swify LT and tape!

I hated the hybrid mask, myself... The nose pillows were very uncomfortable... I much prefer the Ultra Mirage Full Face

As for the no mask/cpap pro... it doesn't seem that it would work well for mouth breathers.
