What have you tried in the past and what are you using right now?
There is a problem with the forum equipment profile and all the profiles are absent so we have no idea what you are using or what you have tried so to give you an idea we need you to specify.

And are you wanting a nasal cushion type of mask (over the nose) or a nasal pillow mask?
You might look at the new DreamWear mask..see if it interest you.
Not a cushion type and not nasal pillows either.

Both the Wisp and the AirFit N10 sat a little too high on my nose causing sores. I liked the Swift FX Nano but switched to the DreamWear when it came out and it's become my absolute favorite.

I will second the recommendation to look at the Swift FX Nano.

It's the only nasal cushion type of mask that I had any success with.

It might be helpful if we knew more about what it was about the N10 that you are unhappy with.

I think the Fisher Paykel Eson nasel mask is the most comfortable mask of all various masks and I've tried them all.

Activa LT. No leaks, stays leak free with rolling from side to side.

Just got the DreamWear nasal mask a week ago. Love it. Had been using Wisp, which I also like.

Another vote for the Dreamwear here. I love how lightweight it is, and I love not having to wrestle with the hose all night.

If you've never used a nasal mask, I'd go with the most popular first. You will likely have more success. I use pillows, but use Sleepweaver nasal masks as my backup. They aren't perfect, but I've been happier with them than other nasal masks. I have trouble with swelling sinuses and the harder plastic ones hurt.
