You know it's possible that with the weight you have lost that the Quattro simply doesn't want to fit your face optimally.
Might be time to look at one of the newer masks out there.

With the new Respironics DreamWear Full Face mask there's just less surface area touching the skin to need to be kept sealed.
Did you see the video review that Jason did on it?

Might be worth looking into.
It's certainly possible. Like I said, I've had problems with mask leaks since my treatment began, though it does seem that the problem became noticeable to the point of making me feel unrested once I hit the 70 lb mark, now 76 or so.

I did. It looks promising. I may just go ahead and order it today as the Mirage is my only mask and it never hurts to have a backup.

Update: Much better last night. I ditched the liner. I realized that the liner was preventing me from feeling any air that was leaking, so I wasn't fitting my mask properly to begin the night like I thought I was. I woke up 4 or 5 times throughout the night because I heard/felt the leaks, but, I can feel that when I was asleep, I got much better sleep. I went ahead and ordered the Dreamwear FFM yesterday so hopefully that'll cut down further on the leaks.
