There is also a special thing you can order that goes over your nose. Not sure what its called but it's like a second skin. My husband's nose has the same problem. We have tried other types of mask and this one works best just have to get that skin thing for it. ;)
When he goes to bed and puts on his machine he's out very quickly.

i was told that if you have a humidifier, which i do, that the machine should be level with your head. was anyone else told that? i'm a side sleeper.
