I've been on a CPAP for over 15 years and never had issues. I wear an Ultra Mirage II full face(medium shallow) for several years now. For the past 3 months I've had to really tighten the mask to stop it from leaking but the marks on the bridge of my nose and the strap marks are not acceptable. I replace my mask every 6 months and always use my CPAP with a heated humidifier. The leaking is common with my past 3 masks as I've tried them.
Anyone else have this issue.

Ultra Mirage II leaking
Re: Ultra Mirage II leaking
Have you lost or gained a fair amount of weight recently? That can make a difference. Have you tried rejigging the forehead adjustment? The mask shouldn't need to be that tight and in fact could even be the cause of some leaking as it changes the rest of the cushion's 'fit' - pulls it out of whack sometimes. I also find it's important to keep the cushion clean as it otherwise gets all soft and useless after time.
