Full Face Headgear
#1
Full Face Headgear
I use an Ultra Mirage Full Mask Mask.  I've found that sometimes other brand headgear fits better and more comfortable than the OEM.  The Fisher & Paykell HC 407 (designed for a nasal mask) and the Philips Respironics Deluxe Headgear are two.  They are a bit thinner than the Ultra Mirage OEM, but fit me and are more comfortable than the OEM.  There's a China headgear on eBay for about $7.50 shipped.  It's thin.  It could be a value in that the OEM won't last 4x longer than the China.

I discovered the Fisher & Paykell when I needed a headgear and had it laying around from my sleep test several years earlier.  The Philips Respironics Deluxe Headgear, I bought 4 expecting it to be thicker.  But both, to my surprise, are more comfortable for me.

RE: Full Face Headgear
Interesting ideas!

I've been using my Dreamwear headgear upside down, and I'm finding it stays in place better.
