Nasal pillows - comparison

Post by LindaCPAP » Thu Apr 03, 2008 7:59 am

Hi Everyone,

I have the Opus 360 nasal pillow mask and I like it. However, I found that when I woke up this morning I looked like the "Joker" in that I had impressions in my face that spanned across my face. I noticed that the "Headrest Nasal CPAP interface" doesn't touch the face. Has anyone used both and if so, can you provide an opinion?

I'd love to read that comparison too.

I have briefly tried both and hope to trial both again in the near future.

They both are comfortable IMO but the Headrest is significanly louder. On the other hand, the Headrest also vents the exhaust towards the top of your head which may benefit a sleeping partner by not getting blasted by air all night. They both have soft nasal pillows and the Opus is a bit lighter in weight.
