Yes. I have a severely deviated septum. My DME did not want to try me on pillows, wanted to go with a nasal cushion, but because of a previously broken nose I had to tighten the mask too tight to prevent leaks.

My DME tried a Nuance Pro because the pillows do not extend far into the nostrils at all. I've only used them 2 nights so far, but Nuance may be a good try for someone getting sore inside the nostrils.
