I'm pretty set on the nose pillows as I find myself scratching my face/nose in the middle of the night and anything that covers more than that will be bothersome.

Sunlife has sent in my application for buying online from the U.S for review. It will take 3 business days to get an answer.

One question. I don't know if you have sinus issues or allergies, but have you ever or do you still use the CPAP when you're sick or have a stuffy nose?

I find that I have to breathe through my left nostril in order to sleep better.

When I sleep, I have to make sure I'm breathing through my left nostril and my right one basically doesn't take in any air, even with CPAP. Without CPAP, it cycles back and forth over night, but when using CPAP, it doesn't cycle at all.
