If this one doesn't work for me, does that mean all nasal masks won't? Because they all rest on the nose. I have tried 2 different ones and they both left marks.

There are reasons I don't want to go with pillows and the FFM I tried was horrendous on me.

Have you tried the Eson? Also, are you going through a DME? Some of them allow you to try a mask out before you buy, and have a 30-day exchange policy - if you don't like a mask, you can exchange it for a different mask at no charge within the first 30 days. It's more expensive than buying online, since they have contracts with the insurance companies on their pricing, but you can also figure out if you do or don't like a certain mask (or if it leaks) before you buy it, and you have that 30-day insurance.

Just because a few nasal masks didn't work doesn't mean it's not for you. There are tons of different styles out there, and there's probably something that you'll like.

But yeah. Try the Eson. It seals like a champ and can be remarkably loose on most people's faces without leaks, so you wouldn't have to worry about any redness or marks.

I don't know if the Sleepweaver Elan will work for you but it won't leave marks on your nose.

I was watching an old Mash rerun today and I was thinking about Klingers nose. I just can't figure out what mask would best fit him.

I keep getting Eson and Elon confused
