Hi @nussey, Welcome to Connect. I'm glad you found that a nasal pillow worked better for you. It does confirm that each of us are different with what works for us. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, @nussey, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I think it's helpful to others who are new to using a CPAP to know that struggling with a variety of masks, as you explained happened to you, is not unusual. Really glad to hear you found a solution.

There has been quite a bit of discussion recently in the Sleep Health group on Connect about CPAPs and sleep, and I'd invite you to join in, if you'd like. In particular, you may want to check out this one that @colleenyoung mentioned earlier in these comments: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cpap-and-sleep/.
