I still wonder which mask type would give a better therapy, nasal cushions or a full face mask.. Like Swift FX or say, Mirage Quattro? I've heard some people whose sleep quality improved greatly after switching to full face.

I'd love to buy and use both, but masks are very expensive here in Turkey. I paid $260 for the Swift FX
The anti-leak strap below practically ended the leaks my Quattro FFM had. I recommend it.

I'll be buying one right away Emilia. Thank you for warning.

Nice solution.. But what I still want to know is, which mask type would give a better therapy, nasal pillows or a full face mask?

I guess there's no "one size fits all" solution and results vary from person to person. But even so, shouldn't an FFM be one step ahead for both covering the nose and the mouth? So there's no way you can miss the therapy?

I used the Swift FX last night and to my surprise, it was outstanding! I felt no leaks at all, the fit and seal was superb, and I didn't even feel the mask was there. When I lay on my side it doesn't touch the pillow so it doesn't move. My most comfortable mask experience ever:)

I'm very happy with it now and I hope this lasts forever. I'll check my stats in Resscan to make sure but probably the results are also satisfying in numbers too:)
