The problem with those tried recently seems to be that after a few hours, tightly wrapped to my face, the seal is softened and the seal gets broken. The subsequent air farts wake me up and have destroyed sleep as getting back to sleep at 2 or 3am does not always follow. All this has been brought to a head in the last couple of weeks when the plastic clip on the ResMed mask broke. I reverted to an older mask which sealed a lot better but its design was such it put pressure by a pastic part onto my forehead, eventually leading to bruising.
But all seems now solved with the arrival ytesterday of a new Evora full face mask from Fisher & Paykel - the first product ever used from that company. The design of this mask, for me is brilliant. It fills all the criteria I look for in a mask - 3 fittings provided so I can find the best (surpringly the smallest), comfortable without putting undues pressure on the face and a good seal all night. A bonus is the dersign leaves clear eyesight, no air blown into the eyes and the top half of my face clear to scratch my nose etc if they are itchy
Finding the right mask is a very personal venture because what suits me might not suit someone e lse. We all have dufferent heads with different shapes, but I do commend you look at the Evora. It is not cheap, but then none of them are (and I wonder at the profits being made) but it does have a fundamentally different design which suits me and might suit you.
