The nasal pillows was the first one I tried. I didn't like it at all. 2 issues I had:
1. I could not get a good exhale, even with the pressure ramped down as far as they would set it.
2. The gush of air sound whenever I opened my mouth was very annoying and kept me up.
I liked the fighter pilot mask the best, but the problem I had with that one is the moist air tickles my nostril. I always had the urge to take the mask off to scratch. None of the attachments I've tried have I been able to fall asleep, even with sedatives. I finally gave up. VERY frustrating. I now sleep on my side to reduce some of my snoring. But, now I'm having heart spasms that may or may not be related to the sleep apnea.
