Maybe try examining under bright light possibly using magnifiers of some sort, to see if you can detect any differences.
Also check flexibility of the various sections. I'm guessing they either become stiffer and less accomodating to the face or become so flexible they have to be smashed onto the face. Note: I'm an epidemiologist, not a medical provider.

The pillows will become soft and mushy and you would start to notice they don't keep a seal very well.

When I was using nasal pillows, my DME used to give me two nasal pillows per month. They often lasted longer than 2 weeks for me, and I would change them out when I noticed that the "fit" just wasn't working for me . . .
