CPAP mask recommendation

CPAP mask recommendation
I'm about a month into using my Resmed Airsense 10 and it seems to be working out well.  However, I have the Phillips gel pillows mask and it is irritating my nose and making it sore.

I am thinking about switching and trying out one of the nasal masks that just rest under your nose.  Who has tried out this type of mask?  I know Resmed makes one and Phillips.  Trying to decide which one to try.  I think it would be more comfortable for sure, but wondering about leaks, etc.

Thanks for any input anyone has to give!
Thanks

If you want to try out an under the nose "cradle" mask, might I suggest DreamWear from Phillips (With the New Headgear) over the ResMed N30i. Both have similar designs, but the DreamWear works better for me

Here is my original comparison... http://www.apneaboard.com/forums/Thread-...=dreamwear

Hopefully, this will work for you. Many of us had quite a battle with trial-and-error testing to find a mask that works for us.

I've got the ResMed N30i and the cushions for P30i that fit the N frame. I've only had limited use with it while my therapy went off the cliff.

A 3rd company to consider is Fisher & Paykel. I've yet to try their nasal masks, but the full face Vitera is great. Just another option with the F&P brand.
