ResMed F20 Mask

These don't seem to last very long and leak after a couple of weeks. What is a better alternative?

Please verify exactly which mask you have - https://www.cpap.com/plp/full-face-cpap-mask/ZT0yNjU

There is F20 AirFit and F20 AirTouch.

I use a padacheek liner for the F20 Airtouch and can go a long time AKA months.

You could try the Fisher and Paykel Simplus. Solid mask, they also have a new version of it, the Vitera. You could try that, but I have not tried the Vitera personally.

I have an F20 AirFit and love it. The mask silicone gasket last a lot more than the 3 months normal replacement. I typically replace my silicon once every 9-12 months and clean the mask about once every 4-5 days, when I feel the silicone full of my face oils. I usually clean it with CPAP mask wipes and just wipe off the oils. I've had amazing success with this mask after using the Mirage Quattro for 8+ years. The F20 is definitely a better fit, less leaks and had almost zero issues with it.
