RE: FFM shopping again
Personally, I like my F20 AirFit/AirTouch. I have better success with the AirFit Silicone than the foam. I have had to dust off my Medium cushion due to some weight gain recently, but it was able to restore proper fit with slight adjusting from there. I do side sleep and back sleep, the mask is up to the task regardless. And it plays well with my ASV.

RE: FFM shopping again
I am waffling between the one with memory foam and the FitLife. Just not sure my skin would like the foam on it all night. Silicone is bad enough.

RE: FFM shopping again
I use the ResMed AirFit 10 (prefer it to the newer AirFit 20 and all the others I've tried) which is the FFM that works best for me.
But, of course, it may not be the best for you.
You may do this already, but I find that I get fewer leaks if I wash my face before going to bed.
The other thing worth mentioning, if you don't do this already, is that I also get fewer leaks if I wash the mask cushion in hot, mild soapy water for 5 to 10 minutes - and then rinse it thoroughly - every morning. Another advantage of doing that is that it prevents those terrible problems with very sore nose bridges from arising.
Apologies if I'm 'teaching you to suck eggs', as they say...

LOL I like that phrase.
