Mint green is the Large size - but Extra Large is lavender color.

Take a look at the bed pillow. If it is a soft, deep type into which his head sinks, some of the problems may be due to the pillow pushing too much on the headgear, especially during side sleep. He might like to try a firmer or thinner pillow for a couple of nights.

You might also get some adjustment ideas by searching my older posts, back to about Forum 65.

Keep in mind that whether the "connection" of choice is made by Adams or Breeze nasal pillows, by a nasal mask, or by a full face mask, the governing principle in all cases is that over-tightening is a basic mistake: the final plastic-to-skin seal is made good by leaving a tiny amount of room for the air pressure to slightly inflate the cuff that makes the seal. That's what give the floating effect - it is also what makes the facewear most comfortable.

Good luck!
