Nasal pillows vs nasal cushions.
Individuals have a variety of options so there s bound to be one that fits perfectly.
Pugsy wrote i have used the resmed swift fx nasal pillow currently use the newer resmed airfit p10 nasal pillow and gave the dreamwear a month long trial a while back when it first came out.
I switched to the dreamwear nasal cushion and everything has been great.
I used the dreamwear with my s9 for probably a week with the setting at nasal pillows before it dawned on me to change it to nasal.
Philips respironics offers masks in different styles including the dreamwear nasal cpap mask the dreamwear full face cpap mask and the dreamwear gel pillow mask.
If you have a fit pack it would be easy to try the different sized cushions.
Like the nasal mask the dreamwear nasal pillow sits under the nose rather than across the bridge.
It s comfortable and i like it but find it wakes me up because it shifts as i sleep.
To put it as simple and bluntly as possible this is a very comfortable mask.
I started off using the dreamwear nasal cushion.

Otherwise you can find a sizing template online rather easily.
Any of these will work well for side sleeping my preferred sleeping position.
They all have minor pros and cons.
The resmed p30i has an added feature on the cushion with a built in diffuser allowing a quieter sleep for you and your partner.
If the nasal cushion was blowing air into your eyes it might be worth trying a smaller nasal cushion size.
It s annoying having to fiddle with it during the night.
Most importantly the nasal mask comes in three frame sizes and four nasal cushion sizes.
Resmed airfit i would love to know anyone s experience with these models especially if you ve tried both and can offer a comparison.
Each of these masks features an innovative universal frame system which makes it easy to swap or replace parts.
The dreamwear cushion is made from gel providing an effective and comfortable seal with minimal contact to prevent red marks while the resmed p30i is made of a soft silicone and easily fits in the nostrils.
I liked the dreamwear but i have this personal preference of having as little on my.
