DreamWisp vs N/P30i or DreamWear

[holden4th]

I'm always on the lookout for a new thing and stumbled across the DreamWisp while searching the web. I currently have the P30i and also have the nasal cushions for it which I use occasionally when the inside of my nose gets a little sore. It's a great mask but if I had one complaint it's that it leaks a little too easily as I've seen in my OSCAR graphs. The strap that goes around the back of the head is not as good as the Dreamwear.

Has anyone here used both the DreamWisp and either the P/N30i or the DreamWear and make a comparison between the two. I suspect that the Dreamwisp straps will prove far better but are there any downsides in comparison to either of the other two masks?

I'm also interested to see whether fully enclosing my nose will change tidal volume and tidal flow.

Main reason to try out DreamWisp is if you want to try out a nasal mask that has hose connected up top. That was the pull for me because I prefer nasal masks over pillows/cushions like P10 and N30 because they seem to push air too aggressively for set pressure.

What I find with over over the head hose frame design is that, the air flow isn't as strong as front connected designs.

The difference with DreamWisp over P or N30i and DreamWear is the straps that is necessary to keep the nasal mask cushion stable from top and bottom.

Other than that, it is the best performing mask for me. lowest leaks for nasal mask, and the most comfortable air flow that provides the best quality sleep I've ever had with any mask I've tried so far.

I can't find a picture that shows the inside of the mask. How does it 'connect' with the nostrils, that is is it a cushion or does it use 'prongs'?

The P30i and P30i have small “lips” that go into the nose with border “collar” that if it’s under the nose that seals it. 

The n30 and n30i fit like a cradle around the nose with nothing going into the nose. 

With either I suggest using the dreamwear headgear with wings - it is the only headgear I have found that stops the headgear from slipping off during sleep. You can buy it from Amazon.
