Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Therapeutic pressure (determined by auto-adjusting device), flow, leak, full PSG with each of the two masks[One night for each of the masks.];On the morning following each CPAP study subjects relate by means of questionnaire their subjective perception of sleep quality, mask comfort and fit, mouth dryness and overall satisfaction with each mask using analogue scale (0=poorest, 10=best)[One night for each of the masks.];Calulation of the respiratory disturbance index, arousal index, sleep efficiency, total sleep time, wake after sleep onset time and time spent in each sleep stage after review of polysomnogram by one sleep technician[One night for each of the two studies.]
