hi hope, i use the nasal pillow type mask, which doesn't cover your face (which i can't take) and is easy to adjust to. also, does your husband's machine have a ramping feature? where it will start off at a low pressure and gradully build to the prescribed pressure so that he can get used to it? i'm sure you know how important it is for him to use the machine. i've been on it about a month and my doctor says it should take 2-3 months before i fully feel like myself again, although i can say i feel more alert each day, bit by bit. it's a good idea to use it while watching tv. but if the machine has a ramp feature and he tries the nasal pillow mask (two small pillows fit under your nostrils instead of a mask covering your face) that might help alot.
let me know how it goes.
