breeze or swift?

I know this is a personal issue, but what is the general consensus on which of these is the most comfortable?

Thanks

My vote is the Swift. (I couldn't deal with the hard plastic band running down the back of the head on the Breeze. Probably would not bother side sleepers.)

Swift for me, no doubt. Couldn't use the Breeze, but love the Swift.

I'm a side-sleeper so I thought the Breeze more comfortable, although ended up with leaks from both!! Just my personal opinion.

Never tried the Breeze. Love my Swift.

Swift - even though I attempted the Aura - pantyhose and all.......

I prefer the Breeze -I find it to have softer silicone pillows and is infinitely more adjustable. It is great if you side-sleep, not quite as good as Swift if you sleep on your back.

Swift is a really good mask, just not as comfortable for me. Also, I find Breeze to be quieter than Swift.

Same as WillSucceed, and for the same reasons.

Sorry to go off topic, but how are you doing, O, with the Aura? You've been very quiet...

I vote for Breeze cause it works for moi.
Never tried swift or others, so I cannot say.

Breeze should not leak if properly adjusted and i do not understand the plastic thing going down the head. Does not interfere with side sleping in any way.

Whatever works for you.

I think it takes some several WEEKS to adapt to the Breeze
No way a person can adapt to virtually anything without giving it a chance.
I have had my new Breeze model and it took me some tme to figure it out.
And what do you mean by painful???
This sounds like and adjustment issue. No way is should be painful in any way.

You know I am saying this with love in my heart for everyone on this site (except that mean guest a month ago-ONLY JOKING), but I think these types of threads are virtually useless except just for finding out what people use. It doesn't help anyone to know if they think one interface works better than another because the person inquiring can have a totally different experience with either one.

I am guilty of doing a thread or two like this in my time, so don't get me wrong. I just come back to read the information and say to myself, "What is the point?" If not to find out that so-and-so likes this better, there is none really. You are going to have 50% liking the Swift and 50% liking the Breeze, or the numbers may be off a bit. But usually if something just doesn't work for most people, it's already out there and everyone knows not to bother. Yes, we will still have some people who are going to take a chance and try it to see if it will work for them, but the odds are not in their favor with cases like that.

So, post on. I've aired my useless opinion...

I did have a laughing icon after the post. The first time it was only 10mins and I tried different pillow sizes & different adjustments I do not give up that quickly, you sink a lot of money in these masks to give up in 10mins. I spent several weeks with this mask.The mask did not work for me. I have seen other post on this forum & other forums that felt like the Breeze was painful to wear. I agree with Sleepless on LI this is going to be a 50/50 response. I am sure there is a lot of happy Breeze users ....... I gave my Breeze away to one of these happy Breeze users You know who you are I am glad the mask works for some users and I will say the mask (Breeze) is one you want to try but for me (IMO) my vote goes to the Swift

I'm a happy Breeze user; anyone want to donate their I'm-not-happy-with-it Breeze to me?
