The Hybrid nasal pillows are softer than both the Swift and CL2. Sizing is about the same. I have sensitive nares and can tell you that I can tolerate these much better than those other pillows. It still takes about 3 days for me to get past the soreness. But after the break in I go for weeks without having to switch out to a nasal mask.

Thanks for the input, Mike. You've just completely complicated everything for me

What's the seal like on the mouth part of the Hybrid? Is it like the UMFF where it "floats" on your face?

[quote="SleepySandy"]I do wish I could try the Hybrid. The eye leaks and red dent on my nose are the 2 worst issues I have.

Unfortunately, I have extremely narrow nares and the Swift small and CL2 small nasal pillows made my nares hurt like crazy - like they had been stretched for a long time. If the Hybrid pillows are similar in size, which I believe they are, I don't think my nares will be able to handle them.

If the Hybrid had XS pillows, I would seriously consider trying it.
