:yawn:

I was diagnosed with severe OSA. I have been on cpap therapy for about 9 months. I can tell that this helps, but after all this time and several masks / nasal pillows, I still can't find one that is comfortable. Still have'nt had a full night's uninterrupted sleep.

Since I am a side / stomach sleeper masks seem to interfere the most. Also, I have had some soreness from the nasal pillows.

If you could recommend a nasal interface which one would it be? What has worked the best for you?

Thanks,
.40

keep trying masks and make sure you arent opening your mouth and breathing thru it when asleep
try to sleep on your back

Try the ResMed Swift Interface -- lightweight, nasal pillow interface that is the most comfortable and leak resistant I have found.

Thanks OhioGolfer. I appreciate your input. I will try that one in the near future.
