Quattro FX marks on face

Post by Corkster52 » Tue Feb 21, 2012 4:21 pm

Okay, so I went the "search for a thread" route for a while, but this newbie has another question. Are there any stomach sleepers out there using this mask that has found a solution for the marks left on the face for hours in the morning? I get up around 4 AM and have a meeting each morning at 7, but I still have marks from the straps on my cheeks! Is there a simple solution out there? Thanks

Fleece strap covers. If your wife is handy they are easy to make.

The extra density of the fleece is quite comfortable and will pretty much prevent the strap marks.
I am lazy and don't sew but when I was using the Swift FX with the side cheek straps I would get a mark on the cheek that spent the most time on the pillow. I bought the fleece covers and no more marks.
