Key Product Information
Manufacturer: Respironics
The ComfortLite 2 is a unique interface which combines the freedom of a nasal pillow device with the comfort and seal of a nasal cushion.
Here are the highlights:
Three cushion/pillow styles
Flexible, adjustable headgear
No pressure points on face
Above the head hose connection
The ComfortLite 2 offers three styles of cushions: Pillows Cushion, Simple Cushion and Direct Seal Cushion. The Pillows Cushion is a nasal pillow design, the Simple Cushion is a smaller, shorter nasal cushion with a narrower edge that even works well with most mustaches. And the Direct Seal Cushion is a rounded design that seals against each nostril without being inserted inside.
The stability of the ComfortLite 2 comes from the headgear - not from the cushion pressing against the face as with most devices. The headgear is very flexible and adjustable without side straps against the face. And the adjustment assembly at the forehead provides stability for the cushions below and the hose attachment above. This means there are no pressure points against the face. And having the
hose attach and swivel at the top of the head keeps it out of the way.
The improvements to the ComfortLite 2 include a softer, more flexible headgear with three different adjustments, better positioning of the hose connection at the top of the head to remove contact with the pillow and the option of the Pillows Cushion in addition to the original Direct Seal Cushion.
Respironics packages the ComfortLite 2 with two sizes of either the Direct Seal or the Pillows Cushion, and two sizes of the Simple Cushion. Most people with use the medium size; men will usually buy the medium/large combinations and women the medium/small.
If you still aren’t convinced that this is the mask for you, all you need to do is buy our Return Insurance and you can send it back within 30 days for a refund of the full purchase price. Read all about it here:
If you have ever tried nasal pillows, you may have experienced some sensitivity around the nares, the openings of the nostrils, after a few uses. If you were unable to continue using the pillows, you may want to try the ComfortLite 2. Switching back and forth between the pillows and the simple cushion will allow your nares to become accustomed to the pillows without becoming sore.
We have included pictures of all three cushion options on this product page, but your ComfortLite 2 will arrive with only the two cushion options you select in the drop down next to the "Add to Cart" button. Please choose with care!
Respironics has reported that the ComfortLite 2 has been tested and is cleared for use with the REMstar Auto CPAP machines.

"I was excited about this mask when I ordered it. Here's what I liked about it. I love that the hose goes over the head, since I sleep on my sides a lot. That is a great feature. I also like the ability to adjust the mask up/down, the angle it hits my face, and the opportunity to use different options (I got the nasal pillows and simple cushion.) I also LOVE that doesn't have all the straps running over my face. The straps and cushion were very comfortable material and weren't in and of themselves uncomfortable (see my strap comment below).
HOWEVER, here's what DIDN'T work for me and why I returned it: I couldn't get the simple cushions to seal consistently through the night. I also tried the nasal pillows. I think the reason I couldn't get a good seal all night long was because the mask moved too much when I shifted position. I tried all the different strap positions and my ears got sore no matter what I tried. I just couldn't get it to work for me. I returned it (thankfully got the return insurance when I ordered it). Loved the concept, just isn't the mask that will work for me."
Best I've found

"Reason's I like it.
No marks on my cheeks in the morning.
Hose comes out top front thus less lying on it.
Sits comfortably on forehead.
Minimum leakage once fitted properly.
Can buy individual replacement parts when my dogs eat one.
Only problem is that the elbow connector tends to break, but easy to buy new one. I now keep a spare."

"very comfortable for me as I turn from side to side rhtough the night; the hose placement is great...it never gets in the way. Also, nothing on the face to cause marks the next morning (like straps on other systems). I love the simple cushion 'nose cups' too."

"After two nights, I am sold. This nasal system is comfortable to wear and, most importantly appears to me infinitely adjustable. I am even looking forward to using it in the winter with a cold when my nose seems most irritated.
The device consists of a low pressure support system with an attached delivery system. With the primary contact on the broad, well padded support that rests on the forehead, there are no pressure points. The straps do not need to be tightened; they simply hold the support in place. With no tightening required, red marks disappear.
The delivery system is more adjustable as any device I have used. First, there are three styles of soft, comfortable material that are placed within the nose, below the nose or over the nose (think a glove for the nose only). Each style comes in three sizes. You have a choice of two delivery devices in two sizes.
You can control the tilt using a simple lever. And there is a way to adjust the height. The clear instructions lead you through the adjustment process; it only took two minutes. Minor height adjustments were made while lying down. Are the nares too far apart? Simply bending a piece of metal adjusts them. The exhaust is spread out over a wider area, eliminating a “long range” blast of ait shooting out.
Nothing is perfect. There are two minor, potential problems. First is the forehead support. It is comfortable, but what will happen when it gets hot and muggy? Will it have enough air circulation on the forehead? I don’t know, but it might not (I haven’t warn it on a hot night). The second problem for me is the hose attachment. While it swivels and rotates, I would have preferred to have a way for it to be routed over my head, terminating on the back of my head. But, that is my preference, a minor quibble.
I would recommend this for anyone who wants a nasal system. I can say that it is a pleasure to wear. It breaks into parts that can easily be carried with your CPAP while traveling. I originally bought it for times my nose gets sore. Now it will be my only device."
Can't beat the service

"Since I live in Houston (OK Tomball) the service can't be beat, I've ordered maybe three or four times now and the equipment has arrived next afternoon. The only faster choice would be to use the will call desk.
