Left is the P10, middle is the original Bleep and right is the Eclipse. This will give you an overall size comparison.
As to feel.....hard to describe but the Eclipse isn't rock hard at all. Is it as soft as the cushion part of the P10....of course not but remember that I have been using the Beta version of the Eclipse and apparently it is more firm than the final version.
I do NOT feel the frame portion against my upper lip area at all....and I don't use a hose hangar either. I just have never liked hose hangars...tried a few and just didn't care for them.
Even with my face buried in the bed pillow I don't feel any discomfort....and I bury my face a LOT in the bed pillow.
I start the night on my right side and often wind up more on my stomach or half on my stomach with face pretty much buried in my buckwheat pillow.
And like Jason....I sometimes use another mask depending on lots of things and the P10 is always available for those times.
Like one time I blew off the alcohol wipe prep and the adhesive of course didn't stick well and in the middle of the night I had it come off so I put the P10 on.
Also sometimes I just don't want to or feel like messing with the facial prep stuff.
Not to mention that I have been removing the metal ring from used halos so that I can re use it on a fresh adhesive. I only had a very limited supply of the metal rings but lots of adhesives so I have had to wash, dry, clean with alcohol...all those metal rings every so often and restick them to adhesive halos....all before doing my own personal prep. I would do 2 weeks worth at a time.
Stuart sent me the halos without the metal rings back last year when I complained about my wrist problems and I knew I was facing surgery where it would be months that I wouldn't be able to connect the original dreamports.
So all you whiners about taking 2 minutes to clean your face and apply the halos....you get no sympathy from me.
I have had to do a lot more "work" to keep using the Eclipse since I had to also re use and clean and restick the metal rings to the adhesive.
BTW....with time and experience I have it down to about 15 seconds to apply the halos to my nose....30 seconds if you count the alcohol wipe and dry before applying. It really is that easy to apply now.
