While I finally got my Aura tweaked to be as near perfect as I guess it will be (thanks, Lori) and love it, I am going to try the Breeze for rotation, as I just am not crazy about side sleeping and my Swift, since it pushes on my nares, plus curiosity will kill me if I don't try it.
My question is if I wear a medium interface with the Aura, would I order a small/medium Breeze pillows, or the medium/large pillows? Or would it not matter as long as I have the medium? Just wondering if the Breeze tends to run small, large, or the equivalent of the Aura?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Breeze Sizing Question
Pillow size seems to be one of the mysteries of masks... I never ever considered my nares small - and yet, here I am using both a Breeze and and an Aura "medium". I would say the Aura's medium is just a little bit smaller than the Breeze's.

How funny.
I have smallish nares, but all bets are off when it comes to nasal pillows.
Just goes to show how things work differently for different people. I wear medium pillows in the Aura and the Swift, but get a better seal with the Large pillows in the Breeze. I tried Small pillows with the Breeze and got lots of leaks.
I've got a hunch that in the Breeze most women would need Medium or Large. And that most men would use Large or Extra Large.

I use "medium" in my Swift, but "large" in my Breeze.
I also find that the Swift is hard on my nares when I am on my side. Breeze is a bit wonky when on my back but perfect for me when I am on my side, where I spend most of the night.

Buy a new hat, drink a good wine, treat yourself, and someone you love, to a new bauble, live while you are alive... you never know when the mid-town bus is going to have your name written across its front bumper!
The Breeze's "small" were too small for me.
