I too am a mouth breather and over the years have tried to rectify the issue of leaks around my chin while sleeping. I found a mask called the Hybrid made by Innomed that has solved that issue. The mouth cushion has an excellent seal and a strong chin support that I have not found in any other brands(there are several that look like it but they do not have the chin integrity, leave a funny smell in your nostrils or force you to wear a cervical collar to get a decent seal). They make several sizes so it is a matter of fitting and after I watched the video online on how to properly use the mask I have been sleeping soundly with no dry mouth or "sleap leak" for over 3 years...
