How do you sleep? Are you awakened by the sound of leaking?
What position do you sleep in... back, side or stomach?
Have you read the mask primer?
I assume the mask fit is poor...
I primarily sleep on my left side, a very small amount of time on back or right side, never on stomach.
I am awakened by one of three things: (1) rush air, (2) "farting" mask seal, (3) sensation of lack of air.
No I don't recall reading the mask primer, but I will.

Hi Brian,
I had a lot of trouble with my FFM when I started. Then I tried the Fisher&Paykel Simplus, after reading about it on this forum. That was about 6 years ago, and I've been happy with it ever since. F&P also has a new FFM called the Vitera, quite similar to the Simplus, with a few updates. Either might be worth a try for you. There is a sizing guide .pdf document available, and the sizes of the 2 masks are the same.

Hi all...long time no post...
I finally found a mask that seems to be working well S&P Vitera. I'm getting better seals (although not leak free) and my sleep quality has improved.
I still have issues with ear congestion...but that's more an allergy problem than anything.
If I have to change again, I may go to the Resmed F30/F30i.
