Ingenuity
This is one of the latest designs by Respironics. You almost have to see it to truly take it all in. It has a unique dual cushion design that is very lightweight. From my experience, this will fit a wide variety of shapes and sizes when it comes to faces and noses. Of course there are different sizes and you'll have to be sized to make sure you get the right one for you. Here is a link to the sizing video they have on their site:mms://media.respironics.com/easylife/EasyLife_sizing.wmv

Application
The EasyLife can quickly be put into action right out of the packaging. Four simple velcro adjustments and you are ready to go. Noise output for this mask if very low.

Seal Durability
I found this mask is very durable when it comes to the seal. The dual cushion really gives you alot of room before the seal compromises.
Cleaning
The EasyLife breaks down into 2 pieces for cleaning, 3 if you count the headgear. The disassembly is very easy. Respironics recommends you clean the mask daily. The only downfall I found about cleaning it is all the nooks and crannies in the dual cushion. Despite this, it is well worth the effort for the comfort this mask brings.
Overall Impression
If you want a Nasal/Triangle mask and don't want to "feel" it, this mask is for you. It is a touch more bulky than other Nasal/Triangle masks, but that is what helps it seem lighter than air.
