Is It Just Me That Thinks The Pilairo Q Is Best?

RE: Is It Just Me That Thinks The Pilairo Q Is Best?
The P10 is the only mask I've used so far (About a week in... well, I used a ESON during my sleep study) but I'm happy with it so far. My DME mis-sized me and had me using a small. I switched to a medium this weekend and get a seal much easier and faster, with less tweaking. AHI is slowly dropping- seems to get a bit better each night as I get used to CPAP. Need to get my computer hooked up again so I can check out my data logs.

Just got a Pilairo Q shipped to me today. Look forward to trying it tonight with the big headgear - I'm always knocking the P10 out as I toss and turn...

With the actual air pillow surrounding my nose area and the very soft nasal air ports, the Pilairo Q is for me the most comfortable mask.

Although not quite as comfortable as the Pilairo, it is smaller, less intrusive, the hose outlet from the mask is small, the hose is longer, and I am going to use the P10 from now on. I am sending back the Pilairo to the .com store for a warranty evaluation.R_G: Another one has been converted to the cult. As you have predicted many many times over. And the challenger Pilairo q has been banished.

The Pilairo Q is my new favorite pillow mask. No more leaks, and no more sore nostrils!
Just make sure it is clean, and snooze away. Dave

So if it wasn't hooked up to a machine and it wasn't on while you tested it, you might not have gotten a true idea of how difficult it would be to leak or knock off your face.

RE: Is It Just Me That Thinks The Pilairo Q Is Best?
I own and use both. I'm always knocking the P10 off. Have never done so with the Pilairo Q. Note that I use the larger headgear with my Pilairo Q, not just the small strap like the P10.
I agree - you can't really judge an uninflated Pilairo Q; it must be running on a machine while being fitted to your face. And then, it's not coming off until you take it off. Both are decent masks, so it is a matter of what fits you and works best for you, of course. For me, it's the Pilairo Q for comfort. And it is not close. The P10 Large is too large and the medium too small for me; the Pilairo adjusts to all of this by itself.
