Amess you will NEVER find the perfect mask, doesn't matter how many you have tried. We have all gone through at LEAST 12 and none are PERFECT. You choose the one that has the least amount of problems for you. You find one that you can tolerate then work on fixing what bugs you until its almost perfect.
Perseverance is the key to this this therapy, nothing else.
Started cpap in 2010.. still at it with great results.

I agree...AND...use them more than 2 nights before you give up.

I totally agree with the previous two posters. After two and a half years and over 16 masks I am still looking for that "perfect" mask. In the mean time, I have found two that work for me, and allow me to sleep. I use one most of the time, and swap off to the other when my primary mask starts to bother me for some reason or the other.
