I am considering a Res-Med hybrid mask. I tolerate nasal pillow most of the time but at times my mouth opens enough to make noise and keep my wife awake. I do not like to wear a chin strap! Sometimes I also suffer from the inside of my nostrils becoming sore from the pillow cannula. I switch to a full face mask but I have to tighten it too much to get a seal.

If anyone has experience with the Res-Med Mirage-Liberty I would love to hear from you.

I have experienced the she problems and more. While I have not tired that particular mask, I have found the switching my nasal pillow mask with other mSks the have different she'd nasal pill have helped such as Fandom P Pilar Q,, the rezpironics Wisp,and the Resmed Air fit F10.. Right now due to multiple skin irritation I have also been forced to rotate in a face mask type in. I asked my doc to try this mask I saw online called the PP Tp or something like that because it doesn't have any straps. It is attached to a mouthpiece but she said I cut right now due to cracked teeth that I haven't finished correcting with my dentist.

I tried the Res-med mirage Hybrid and could not get a seal with the nasal pillows. I recently switched from Res-med Swift FX to the TAP-PAP mask with mouth piece and nasal pillows. I had to adjust it repeatedly but I am able to get it to seal and it is nice to sleep without headgear and the marks on my face each morning.
