Hi my husband uses a mask that covers his nose and mouth. We also have to use a chin strap as he naturaly sleeps with his mouth open. As for getting used to it, mick has been using it throughout the night for a year now and we still often have nights when he cant stand it on so i take it off for him. The benefits of him using it have been massive. He had no appetite at all due to not exchanging his gases and had gone from 12 stone to 7.5 stone. He was experiencing hallucinations when awake and having terrible nightmares his voice had nearly gone. He didnt sleep properly and throughout the day would drift in and out and suffered terrible headaches. Since using the mask he has gone up to 9 stone, regained his appetite his voice is nearly back to normal and the hallucinations have stopped. If he doesnt manage a full night on it he suffers the next day so if you can possibly get used to using it. It is well worth it. I know that if my husband stopped using it he wouldnt be long on this planet.
Thanks
