Help needed with nasal pillows

SleepyGuy · Post by **SleepyGuy** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 4:08 pm

I want to try a nasal pillow. My nose has a tendency to close off internally while sleeping. I figure if I only have pressure inside my nose and not out, that would be less likely.

I've read here about the Breeze mask with nasal pillows, but can't find it at CPAP.com. Other sites are confusing. Can someone tell me where to find this mask at cpap.com? Are there any other nasal pillows worth considering?

Thanks.

Hi Sleepyguy,

I use the Breeze as my #1 mask. It is a great nasal pillow system.

Puritan Bennett recommends that the first time you buy the Breeze, you get the model with two sets of pillows, medium and large. Men are usually either medium or large. When you need to replace the pillows you only buy the pair that fits best.

Here is the link from cpap.com

Hi
I used the Swift n. p. during titration study. As mentioned before, had a bad sinus prob after study. Still ongoing. Think the lack of humidification was a problem, as well as my prone to sinus problems.

Would you say the Breeze is better than the swift...?
How ever do you turn on your side to sleep? Dumb question maybe, but sleeping on a bad back if one gets any sleep, is worse yet.

Just wondering?.....
txs.......

Hi Gailzzz,

Welcome!!! I am an active sleeper. All over the bed and in all sleep positions. I like the Swift mask too, but the Breeze is my #1.

Hi Gailzee,

You asked, "How ever do you turn on your side to sleep?" Good question. I have no problem turning a lot with the Breeze. Had no trouble doing it with the Swift either, but I much prefer the Breeze for side sleeping.

Here's a topic link you can click that has some comments from users:
