The wife and I use both the Nasal Aire 2 and we prefer it to the pillow by far.

I've used a nasal mask for my initial first 2 months with a CPAP. Now I'm on a FF mask made by Fisher/Paykel...the 431 FlexFit. It's "ok" but in no way "perfect. I'm not sure it exists but I'll probably continue to look. I can't believe those pillows would work for me. I sleep on my left side for the most part.

Extremly satisfied Swift user...prior to that I was a very sad, and sore, Respironics ComfortSelect user.

I actually had NasalAire when I entered the poll initially, but alas a "limitation" of technology made me limit my choices to only ten. But hey, I didn't know a priori which masks would be the most popular. That's why I made the poll. Oops, looking at the poll, I probably should have included NasalAire, and dropped one of the others. Sorry.

Regards,
Bill

My modified Breeze is working good for this side/stomach sleeper.

i agree with bonnie. swift has its problems, but sleeping with it on your side isn't one of them.

Can't vote cos you don't have the mirage vista listed

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person in the world who likes that mask

DaveM - That must be some kind of record. I have a 5-year-old Adam
Circuit, and I would have break the other 2 before I could wear it again.

LOL!! Yep...you are, LB!!! (Just kiddin' ya!)

Hey, if it works for ya, it works. Glad you and the Vista get along well. I've seen some others report liking it.

Perhaps I should start a Vista appreciation society

The wide range of answers shows what a wide range of face shapes and sizes we must have. I know this has been discussed before, but it's a shame we can't find a sensible way for people to try out a variety of masks until they find the one that suits them best. For those of us who can't rely on insurance, it ain't cheap to experiment
