"Every time I moved my head the leaks would start and the nasal pillows come partially out. I tried different sizes with the same result. I sleep on my side and tried to keep the hose over my head but itcreated a lot of pressure on my nose. If I loosened it, I would get major leaks. Headgear was very uncomfortable.
This may be good for low pressures but not high pressures (I have >20)."

"Swift LR is much lighter and more comfortable than the Optilife that I had been using. It is great for people who sleep on their sides. The only drawback is that moisture does build up in the mask so the humidity level on the CPAP machine must be on 1 or off (at least in the summer time; I don't know about winter yet!) I have gotten a whistling sound but I think it was only when there was too much moisture in the mask. I would definely recomment this mask."

"I was leary about upgrading from my Swift II, especially after reading some of the comments, but I am glad I did. I love being able to position the hose in any direction, especially over my head since I lay on my side alot."

Finally sleeping!

"The ResMed Mirage Swift LT Nasal Pillow is a HUGE improvement over it's predecessor the ResMed Mirage Swift II. Now the exhalation tube is out front with a good swivel connection. The noise level is truly 70% quieter as advertised! But most of all, I can turn to either side while sleeping and I NEVER GET AN AIR LEAK! This is vital to a good night's rest. My last mask (the swift II) leaked all of the time and I couldn't turn to the side that had the exhalation tube attached to it. And it made much more noise. Now with the extra pillow cushioning and rotational positioning of the Mirage Swift LT mask I simply put on the mask, seat the pillows and go to sleep! One note though. It comes with a clip that attaches to the top part of the headgear so you can attach the exhalation tube over your head. I thought that this was a cool idea but, after trying it one night, I felt it was uncomfortable because I could feel and hear the tubing against my headboard. but thats just my preference. I use the machine tube laying across my chest so that when I turn to either side there is no pulling or hose noise. I don't even notice the tube being on my chest. Not even when I am turning into position. Probably because when I am laying on my sides, I am actually getting restful sleep! Even if my head is buried in the pillow my mask just won't leak now! Amazing! My wife suggested I order another for an extra. Bottom Line.... LOVE IT!"

Great product

"I have used a CPAP with a conventional mask for several years. The Nasal Pillow System is a much better product. I use to have difficulty sleeping for an extended period of time with the conventional mask, with the Nasal Pillow System I can sleep comfortably for several uninterrupted hours. I would definitely recommend this product to my friends."
