I have it. I purchased it to use when I have sinus colds. Do you have any specific questions?

I have used the oracle mask.From the pictures it seems to be very comfortable. But the problems I had with it were keeping the nose plugs in my nostril (they kept sliding out) plus an extremely severe drooling problem. I was having to wipe the drool off every 30-60 seconds... obviously didn't get a whole lot of sleep with that (and ended up taking it off and sleeping without a CPAP those nights..... bad thing to do, I know. Nowadays I can't sleep without my cpap though).

I'd recommend a mask like the Quattro or Mirage by resmed... those have worked quite well for me.

The Oracle is my DREAM mask. Been using it for almost 4 years. I don't get the drooling that a lot of people do. My mouth is terribly dry when I wake up but a quick sip of water fixes that.
Yes...the nose plugs tend to slip out after a few hours(I've experimented and haven't found better ones). I actually use plastic medical tape to tape the nose plugs in place and it works very well. Message me if you want some tips on using the Oracle...that make it more user friendly. ~Barb
