Another Hybrid Update:

I have now been using the Hybrid for about three weeks and I am mostly very pleased. However, I've had a few minor problems that I'd like help with if anyone has some answers.

1) On two separate occasions I've had one of the pillow come loose from the mask during the middle of the night. On these occasions I've had to get up and go to the bathroom so I could turn on the light and re seat the pillow in the mask.
Any suggestions for preventing this from happening?

2) I have just a slight irritation inside my left nostril from the pillow. I use the AYR saline nasal gel every night, but I think I've read about something else that others use lami-something or lani-something. Is this something that can be used
inside the nostril or is there something else I can use to solve this issue? It's not bad right now, but I'd like to nip it in the bud before it gets worse. I really think this is my long term mask and I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to
make it work.

Thanks for your help.
