some afterthoughts:
The five features of the Breeze headgear fitted with nasal pillows that I particularly like are the silent exhaust (although its angle is not adjustable); its very high tolerance for side sleeping and sleepers' movement; the very small skin contact area; the ability to don and remove it single-handedly, and the fact that if a blowout leak occurs it is nowhere near the eyes.

It seems to me that minimizing the skin contact area maximizes the probability of being able to make and keep an excellent seal.
