After having spent a bit of time with both the Nuance and the Nuance Pro, I've decided that the Pro is just not for me. The headgear is too large. I love the Nuance, but it's always good to try new things just in case there's something better out there. The Pro was used for about three weeks and will come with all three sizes of pillows and the original box. The small pillow has the most use while the medium and large were only used about an hour a piece. In order of preference, I'd like to trade for one of the following:

Re: Nuance Pro trade for?
That is exactly why I hated the Nuance. The headgear keeps getting bigger and bigger. It awful that they didn't make it adjustable.

I'm having great luck with the Nuance, it fits completely different than the Pro.

Re: Nuance Pro trade for?
Actually, the headgear is different between the two, you can't interchange them. The back strap is still not adjustable, but it feels like it fits tighter. I couldn't keep the Pro from sliding around and up in the back and couldn't keep the side straps from being way too close to my eyes. I don't have any of those problems with the Nuance. I have it adjusted to fit loose, it never slides and just sort of vanishes when I put it on. I still have plenty of side strap and top strap room for adjustments should it stretch. I'm just looking to try other things just more out of curiosity. If someone wanted to trade the Pro headgear/frame for the Nuance, I'd be willing to do that as well. Someone with a bigger head might be more interested in the Pro.

I would also be willing to trade the mask for this cpap pillow: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/cpapma ... oduct.html
Or a buckwheat hull pillow.

Just a quick command about https://www.cpap.com/productpage/cpapma ... oduct.html pillow. Two things, it had a very strong smell when it was delivered, so I let it air out about a week, and the smell never totally dissipated. I did get a cover for it, which helped a lot with the smell. Anyways, I found it too firm for me. It may be fine for you, not for me *smile*. I also have a buckwheat pillow, really like that you can make it take whatever shape that you need, like a dent for your mask, but again, it was too firm for me. Hopefully you'll have different experiences. Still using this pillow:KentuckyHoser wrote:I would also be willing to trade the mask for this cpap pillow: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/cpapma ... oduct.html

which works well for me...not too firm, high enough for side sleeping, and a good shape for my mask.
