How come the medium FEELS like it fits best, but Sleepyhead says the Large fits best?
I know, dumb question, but it really seems odd to me.

Nuance pro size?
I have found the Nuance Pro nasal pilllows to be my favorite. One odd thing. The Medium size feels like it fits best, I don't hear or feel any leaks, by Sleepyhead says "Periods of Major mask leakage." OK, so I switched to Large. Now I have to wiggle it around, and tighten iot, and generally mess around so I don't hear/feel leakage, BUT Sleepyhead says "minor major leakage."

RE: Nuance pro size?
Could you please post your daily charts please. Including your leak rate charts. That would really help us evaluate your leaks.

OK, This is my first attempt at Imgur, so see how it goes.
http://imgur.com/a/S879Q Top image is with Large mask, and lower image is with Medium Mask. I enlarged the Leakage window. Hope that is OK.

First of all your leak rates are fine despite what they look like, because you have a Respironics machine and how they measure leaks.
And posting is almost perfect. From IMGUR in the lower right click on 'Large Thumbnail' and then click on copy to BB_POST, then paste. That will put a readable thumbnail in the post with a link to a larger image. Pay attention to the section on organization, it suggests an order to the graphs with the more important ones at the top. I wanted to see the leak chart simply because you question was about leaks.

RE: Nuance pro size?
The numbers sa the large is SLIGHTLY better, but your writeup says the Medium.
I would use the medium.

Leaks can occur through the mask interface or from a mouth leak. The best mask fits and lets you get the best sleep.

Thanks. I used the large last night, and although to get it set, I have to "diddle" more with position, I did get the best night's sleep in weeks. Had hernia surgery last Tuesday, so have been sore.

RE: Nuance pro size?
Use the medium. My mediums died and I am using large. I get a slightly better seal (probably because the mediums were, like, way too old) but I dislike them.
Use what is comfortable and gets you to sleep without fiddling with the mask or waking up to fiddle with it. And don't overtighten. I think it collapses that gel inside and they don't last as long which means the seal gets worse. For others: so what is the "limit" for his machine? Anything over, say, 60 is considered a large leak? Can't he adjust the limits in the SH options? I know he can put in a red line for that limit so he can tell at a glance what is over.
