What type of mask should I select on my device?
#1
Question 
What type of mask should I select on my device?
I started out using a nasal pillow mask so I choose "pillows" as the options on my device. But now I have changed to another mask and I wonder if I should change my setting from "pillow" to "nasal" or which one is correct?


This is the new mask I have changed to: [DME Link Removed] - https://www.resmed.com/en-us/sleep-apnea...irfit-n30/

This mask is not under the "nasal pillow" category but instead the nasal mask category so that is why I wonder if I should change my setting.

Use “pillows” if using a nasal cushion mask. I use the N30i and Dreamwear under nose cushion and my setting is “pillows”.

Tip: On the back of the frame package you should see the recommended setting. A lot of people, myself included, missed it.

Thank you. Strange I dont see any recommended setting on the back of my mask package? I only have description on how to adjust the straps to make it less or more tight?

The user guide on the page as linked by the moderator in the original post states on page 8 to use “pillows”. It also explains how to tighten the straps.

I believe with the P10 pillow mask, you should use the pillow setting.
