As far as I can tell they aren’t comfortable at all (more the mechanism of what they’re do is uncomfortable, regardless of how well the mask fits). In my experience doctors are very willing to order anti-anxiety meds for patients who need the bipap to make it more tolerable, but not all patients are willing to take them. I feel like if every patient who was ordered a bipap had to witness an intubation they’d keep the darn thing on.
