Resmed N20 - Mask Setting should be Pillows

After buying the Resmed N20, I assumed that the machine mask setting would be 'Nasal'. But after struggling a few nights and reading the manual, I discovered that it should be 'Pillows'. Just an FYI for anyone out there, as it's a bit counter-intuitive if you ask me. From the manual:

I saw that a while ago. I switched it and didn't notice any difference.

I think someone once said the main difference would be in data interpretation,
so there would not be a tangible difference in comfort or sleep.
But whoever said that could have been all wet.
I have been accused of the same . . .

Data interpretation may be part of it, but not all. It affects trigger and cycle sensitivity to a degree. I can definitely tell when I have the wrong setting as the machine becomes slightly out of sync with my breathing.

I could tell the difference between pillows and full face.
But just barely . . .
