Cyd, I've used both the ADAM circuit (with the Conjo custom headgear) and the Breeze and both have worked nearly perfectly for me for over two years. In fact, on my face there is little difference between the two in terms of comfort. I finally settled on the Breeze just because it is easier to take care of and there is less "stuff" on my face and head.

I also used the regular Mirage for nearly nine months and found it reasonably comfortable, although it did leak much more.

However, I cannot stress enough that the "patient interface" is a highly individual thing and without trying it out there is no way to really know which works best for you.

I got the Mirage first, along with my CPAP. After a while, I had a part break and had to tape it up while I waited for a new part. I decided that I needed a backup mask and thought I would try the ADAM circuit instead of a second Mirage. Once I used it, just one night, I was impressed enough to clean the Mirage and carefully wrap it in a plastic baggie in case of emergencies.
