I wanted to try something different so I have purchased the Airfit 20 but I never expected the result to be this bad. I had an afternoon nap and it seems that nose breathing is my norm after using Amara View (I think the structure of the mask makes you a nose breather, which is the primary reason I am sticking with it. I however loved the lightness and easy of the nose pillow. (I am a big guy but I used medium (maybe that was my problem?)

I am now using the air fit 20 nasal as of two days ago. Its okay. One thing good about it--stays on your head. Bad--nose piece can creep up under eyes and cause bags. Switched to my Brevida in the middle of the night due to the airfit pinching the side of my face bad enough I could not correct it laying in bed.
Ahi--1.9 Not bad--res med 98.
Jury is out if I will continue to use it.

The nap is messing with your AHI a lot. Naps will do that. Naps have a lot of SWJ flagged events that aren't real.
Turn off the nap session in SleepyHead and then look at your data.
On the left side below the Statistics scroll down to where you see the sessions and click on the time of the nap session and change the green bar to red bar (it's either a single or double click to change it, I forget exactly which) and the nap session will be turned off and removed from the AHI calculations. You can always turn it back on if you wish but I would leave it off if it were me.
I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.

Oh, and you don't get to dictate what I reply to and what I don't. But have fun trying.
