ResMed F10 FFM is leaky.

Headgear was properly adjusted, and the thing leaked anyway. I woke up a few times with air in my left eye or on my chin.

When this happens I sort of jiggle it around to resettle it on my face, maybe pulling it slightly away from my face before resetting it. Sometime a bit of the silicone will get turned the wrong way.

I tried that a few times. The DME says they may re-fit me, or give me a different mask.

Sounds as if your jaw is dropping while you are asleep. This will pull the mask down slightly and may cause leaks.
Have you tried a soft cervical collar to support your jaw at night?
