Manufacturers have designed it as lightweight attachments to the nostrils. Thus, you are still free to move around in your sleep than you normally would with a full-face mask, which means that bed sores are less of a problem. Of course, the same benefits in terms of receiving a steady stream of compressed air are still enjoyed.
And because it does not cover virtually the whole face, you will still be able to read books, watch television, use the computer and talk to other people even with the nasal pillow on. Literally and figuratively speaking, you gain a new perspective of life as a sleep apnea patient with the right nasal pillow.
Plus, you will experience lesser number of problems with nasal CPAP pillows than with full-face masks. Dry eyes, nasal congestion, allergies, claustrophobic feelings, headaches and a multitude of other problems are not issues with the right kind of nasal pillow.
