What I could never figure out is, nasal pillows, not all are mouth breathers, but most diagnosed with sleep apnea, are snorers (mouth breathers) ???
One does not need to have one's mouth open in order to snore.
Very true, but most sleep with mouth open, even slightly.
Not true.

No pun intended, reason, I came up with this thought is, my younger brother is on cpap, uses nasal pillows. His wife complained he still snored loud as h***, and he refuses to tape his mouth or use FFM. He's very stubborn
If he's snoring, then his pressure is
too low.
Let me rephrase, all males in my family snore with mouth open. My nephew snores like Apollo rocket launch
Doesn't want sleep study due to cost. My family is very stubborn.
Truth is, I really don't know.... He's been on cpap 10 years, has other health issues as well. Treatment were probably working at first, but overtime adjustments need to be made, he gained alot of weight, approx 50-60 lbs due to medications, diet, lifestyle. Haven't talked to him in awhile, I'll get updates in the future....
