New user, switching to nasal pillow...

You might want to try the ResMed P10, which is a very minimalist and light-weight nasal-pillow mask. Get one with a fit pack (includes small, medium, and large pillows). Another thought would be the P30i, if you like the top-of-head connector.

Finding a mask that works for you can be one of the big challenges for CPAP users. Keep at it -- there's a mask out there that's right for you! FYI, CPAP.com has a nice return policy.

Thanks for the suggestions...

Right now I am in the trial phase, I guess, through a local med supply business and have not been charged for anything...I forget the date, but I have a certain period of time to decide whether to keep the equipment or not.

Yes, try multiple masks while you are in the trial period. For most people, the most difficult part is finding a mask that works well for their case. At cpap.com, you can browse photos, specs, and reviews of most masks.

I may ask to try the pillows that actually go into my nostrils.

Technical comment, nasal pillows don't actually fit into the nostrils. The flange-like part seals on the outside of the nares. The tip may be slightly inside but not touching the nostrils. Pillows are a great choice for many people.

Thanks for the info...I didn't think they went far.

I had one fairly decent night with the nasal cushion, then 2 nights of not so much and couldn't keep it on longer than a few hours and had to remove it so I could go to sleep.

It's just so uncomfortable and unnatural feeling trying to sleep with something on my face/head, though I do like the hose being at the top of my head much better than in front of my face.
