I use a CPAP every night. One of the best things I've ever done for myself!

How did you get used to the mask?

[–] DJKJuicy 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Three things:

Don't stop until you find the right mask. There are a lot of options.
Change is always awkward at first. It will take time to get used to.
Adjust your attitude. Most people are already convinced that they're not going to like a CPAP and are angry they have to wear one. Make the effort to be healthy. Eating healthy and getting exercise aren't fun for most people either. Getting quality sleep is just as important.

He's been really determined to make it work - even takes it on vacation. He gets decent rest until he wakes up and takes it off, usually around 3 or 4. He has the triangle-shaped mask with the face steps. I didn't realize there were different types. I just ordered him the n30 under-nose one and the p10 nasal pillows with a soft strap. Thanks for the advice!

The Philips Respironics nasal pillow works fantastic for me! Everyone is a little different though.
