we are all different. different shapes sizes & sleep positions. maybe folks should list their leak rates when endorsing a mask. Headrest still hands down winner for me . LEAK RATE . . (28-32) AVG.

I haven't gotten the software yet for my machine (on my to do when I have some cash list) so I don't know my actual rate. My "Large Leak" rate on the regular menu has been 0 since I got the machine though.

your machine is telling you
0 large leaks
when you start using a card reader w/ software & you see a flat leak line and also know the permissible leak rate for your given mask http://www.internetage.com/cpapinfo/leak-rates-1.html . then you will know if you are getting optimal therapy , until then you are flying blind. James Skinner on this site has a good software program that works w/ the encore pro, it's called encore pro analyser. it not only tells you #'s of apneas but length of each one . stick with it, it's your health ! tim

I've been tallying the scores and here's what I got so far:

Nasal Pillow: Headrest and Swift FX ties for first place

Nasal: Mirage Activa LT followed closely by its cousin Mirage Soft Gel

Full Face: Mirage Quattro
