      You don't think? Any form of sleep apnea can be life threatening in the cumulative

      My nasal pillow masks are $100-$115.....if you have to keep the beard..

        Yes spend the money out of pocket for the nasal pillows its so worth it for your health. Could be some of the best money you ever spend.

          Thanks y'all. I'm going to definitely try the nasal pillows before I take any drastic measures.

            Your prescription covers the equipment once you have the machine you can buy different mask online on your own. They’ll sell like the headgear and mask separate as parts so you don’t need the prescription. Look at the dreamwear nasal pillows I love mine

              I have a beard and use the Resmed Airfit N20 mask. It goes around your nose. Amazon has these for sale around $15. Never had much luck with the nasal pillows, but I know folks that love them.

                My first thought from the mustache pic was Officer Farva from Super Troopers. Try different options before shaving it off!

                  Answer is obvious, at least to me....

                  You can cut it and probably feel better than you have in years.

                  OR

                  You can sport your beard in a casket for eternity......

                  😉

                  You can tighten up the mask and get use to it. You can also turn the pressure up to make up for the small % of leakage. Both of which I did.....However, my beard isn't up to Duck Dynasty standards....hehehe

                    My wife uses that one and she likes it. And she gets to keep her beard. LOL

                          Is that a beard or did you superglue a badger pelt to your face?

                            If he loses the beard he’ll start scaring the parents of children when he gets a little too close.

                            Do whatever you can to keep that majestic mane.

                                Another vote for the pillow. They come in several sizes so get the one that fits you the best.
