search youtube for mask fitting videos specific to your mask/
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

I have been using Amara View for several years and leaks can be a problem. Initially the sizing guide called for me to use a medium cushion but I decided the large was a better fit.

Within the last couple of weeks I started using a new mask and I was having on/off leaks waking me up at night. The leak always seem to be on my left side. I put my mask on and went in front of a mirror. I noticed the mask seemed to be sitting on my face crooked to the right side. I tightened the lower strap on the left side and last night the leaks were gone. When the mask is adjusted properly I love it but it can be difficult to hit that adjustment sweet spot.

Try Padacheek.com for mask liners that stop small leaks (and face marks).

Try the Dreamware Full Face mask. It;s the successor ti the View and it's far more comfortable with less leaking issues. I've used both and there's no comparison.
