A. It should not be significantly uncomfortable. Some people may not feel uncomfortable at all. However, some people who are claustrophobic (fears closed-in areas) MAY have a problem with the headgear. The network of straps is designed to hold the mask firmly against the face. Please note that people that require high pressure settings may have more trouble getting the headgear to function correctly and be reasonably comfortable.
