I have seen several comments that indicate that compliance is improved when patients rotate different masks. In addition, having multiple masks gives you a backup if one breaks. I have the sullivan mirage, which I find very comfortable. It uses a thin membrane inflated by air. I have nasal pillows as well, but find them hard to breath out against (my pressure is 17). I plan to buy and try the monarch mini and also the phantom mask. This may sound expensive, but this is a lifetime investment. The expense is minimal in the long run to find a mask that you find comfortable, and most importantly, will use.
