I am not a Hindu or a god, just Mark from New Jersey. But the CPAP mask makes me look like Ganesha.

I have yet to find a Respironics mask that I like and it may be simply the ball type of attachments for the straps can be very frustrating and hard to operate when you are half asleep. I like many of the ResMed masks and have pretty well settled in on the ResMed Ultra Mirage Full Face Mask in a small size with the standard cushion. You may want to look at the return insurance on cpap.com to get an idea of which masks get returned very often and thus have a high % price for the insurance. Masks are hard to find one that everyone likes and is comfortable with, so you may get as many recommendations as you get answers. The true answer is how is your leakage and are you mouth breathing (dry mouth) or wake up with air gushing out your mouth instead of giving you the therapy you need? Post a little more about what you don't like about your present mask.
