How about a nasal pillow mask? Sits only on upper lip and not too heavy.

Besides Kaisgram's excellent suggestion, you also might want to try the Elan Cloth Nasal Mask listed in my equipment profile. If for some reason your DME can't get it for you, the company offers a free 30 day money back guarantee.

I am sorry you are dealing with this and I hope things improve for you.
