Check out the Sleepweaver Advance all cloth mask at http://www.circadiance.com while you're looking at masks. I had the Simplicity but could never keep it place correctly.

I use the Nasal Aire II and love it. It takes a while to get "desensitized" to the nasal prongs, during which time your nostrils can be sore/raw (use saline gel and stick with it). Once I got through that period, I haven't had any problems. I wear the mask without headgear and still have excellent results. Just know that you'll have to commit to getting through that first few weeks with the prongs...

Here'a a link for Babettes test drive of the nasal aire ll, try a mask before you buy it;

At the bottom of her post there is also a tip sheet with loads of info for that mask. You can always PM her for more info if you need to.
