Red marks from mask

Hi
I am using the Resmed Ultra Mirage mask. It leaves red marks on my face that take a while to fade. I tried loosening the mask at night but got some air leaks. I was wondering if there is a better choice of mask that won't leave marks? My DME says I can change masks if I don't like this one in the first 30 days. Any suggestions?

Thank You

I would try the ResMed Activa. I use it as my primary mask, and the Ultra as my backup. It is much heavier and much more bulkier than the Ultra, but you do not have to wear it tight. No other mask in its category seals better than it does. Make sure you soak and clean it in either baby soap or 1/3vinegar and water before you use it, to get all the chemicals out.
