DW has tried a medium mask, small mask and now nasal pillows for sleep apnea. The cpap includes a humidifier. I don't think she has slept with the mask on thru the night more than 3 times in the last 3 years.Takes off the CPAP mask EVERY night in her sleep?
Has she tried the full mask or just the nasal type masks?
I have a full mask with head gear and it has to be adjusted around the forehead and the chin. Some people even have to sleep with a chin strap.
She also may need to change the seeting on her humidifier to be more or less than what she has it set for now.
Sometimes the brand that of mask that you use can cause irritation during the evening. Try using a different brand.
There is also a special pillow that has cutouts so that the mask is more comfortable to use. I personally did not like it but others can not live without it. It is made from memory foam.
