Thanks for all your suggestions. Unfortunately, this mask is not going to work for me. It injures the right side of my nose even when using a barrier. I think I'm going to have to work at making the Quattro my FFM.

I had to use a combination of three things to stop leaks in my quattro.
1. A feather pillow that adjusted to my head movements
2. The right tension
3. A trimmed beard
Good luck

Hi Mars,
Last monday, 4th feb/13, I bought mine CPAP machine, Respironics M Series with humidifier and Quatro FX mask.
I read your post and would like to thank you. These tips save my night. Now I can move in the night and be a side sleeper, without leaks.

I have the same mask, and the contour pillow has really helped me. I am a side and stomach sleeper & have the hose over the head board of the bed , which helps when I change positions. Have been a CPAPer since October of last year & it has been fun getting use to all this equipment. I use distilled water, and Walgreen baby wipes to clean the mask on a daily basis. I keep the mask on fairly tight , but it totally doesn't prevent some leaks when you shift around at night. Make sure you clean the silicone part of the mask & the inside of the mask on a daily schedule.
