If you're willing to try a nasal pillow interface I'd recommend the Aeiomed Headrest - essentially nothing touches your face.

I use the twilight NP nasal pillow- its basically a baseball cap type mask
- nothing touches face but nasal pillows-- works best for me of any -
I think it works for me because I have a large hat size- big head!

one to explore if you dont mind the straps over and around your head- to me it was most comfortable- few leaks

it has one drawback-- likes to rain packer

For what it's worth - I live in a very hot state and I use my comfort gel all summer long with no problems. I love it!

I've also used a Swift LT from time to time and found it to be tolerable though I still prefer the Comfort Gel.
