Hi, I have a dreamware nasal pillow mask. I am having some trouble getting the pillows adjusted correctly. I got the med size pillows. It seems like when I have the nasal pillows, sometimes they fold over or are not getting lined up with my nostrils correctly. After a few hours sometimes it seems like it slips out of place and I am not getting the same amount of air. Im not getting a leak, it just feels like they are not being lined up after awhile. On the different size nasal pillows are the actual holes the same size or are the smaller? So you think I have the wrong size pillows?
Thanks again to everyone! This forum is literally a life saver:)

Re: nasel pillow sizing question
I do not have this mask, but notice this frame sizing guidline on our sponsor's site.
How To Determine the Correct Frame Size?
The frame size is equivalent to the distance around the head from one side of the nose to the other. Follow these steps to determine the appropriate frame size:
Begin by placing the measuring tape marker at the base of the nose on one side. Use the tape to follow along the side of the cheek and upward over the top of the head. Keep pulling the tape measure around the face, down the other cheek, and to the base of the nose on the opposite side.
Use this measurement to most closely match one of the frame sizes listed below:
Small Frame - 19 Inches
Medium Frame - 20 Inches
Large Frame - 22 Inches
Please Note: The DreamWear Nasal CPAP Mask with Headgear - Fit Pack is sold with a Medium frame only. The medium frame will fit most users.
Perhaps your mask frame is too big?
Cushions appear to be available in Small, Medium, Medium Wide, and Large.
Where is the Cushion Size Located?
The DreamWear cushion size is printed in black letters on the front of the cushion, beside the arrow which indicates the frame and cushion connection points. The cushion is available in four sizes: small, medium, medium wide, and large.
