FFM Cushion moving during sleep?
I am using the F&P Vitera FFM and it fits great when I lay down ready for bed. At some point during the night, although I make a point to try and not toss and turn or change my position, the cushion seems to "slip" a bit. Is this probably due to the jaw dropping? If so, any way to address this aside from using another mask that seals under the chin?

perhaps a chinstrap or (my preference) a firm foam cervical collar?raisedfist wrote: ↑Sat Aug 27, 2022 6:22 amI am using the F&P Vitera FFM and it fits great when I lay down ready for bed.

Back before I started using a foam cervicle collar, I would run two pieces of tape from the mask down to under my chin. This would keep the mask cushion in place.

Make sure face and mask are free if oil before putting mask on. In my case, any oil prevents a good seal.
