Any mask can lower setting pressure ?

Any masks can lower cpap titration setting pressure ?
Can not tolerate high pressure with existing mask and heard that some masks can be used to lower setting pressure for more comfortable ? Technically, all pressures at any closed surfaces should be equal in physic.

Don't know why but the symptom is better if I raise the cpap pressure from 12 to 14, I can feel warm or normal after waking up. So I th...

Re: Suggestions for prolonging life of silicone on masks

Silicon will be degraded if boiling to 140 degree. To clean with antibacterial soap is not good idea from FDA. May need
to invest in Ozone (O3) to disinfect the mask?
