I could be a bad example because I've had CPAP treatment for 6 months and it's gone relatively well. I usually get above a 90 on my air app, and I only had to go through a few masks to get the one that works best. I was somewhat skeptical that the air curve would be better than the success I was having with the airsense 11, but after about three nights I could tell that the pressure required was much lower, I could keep my mask a lot less tight on my face because there wasn't so much back pressure. So if someone's struggling it probably would be a good help. But it is definitely a different sensation for the better.
