Asian here... my best fitting mask is the Airtouch F20 but I do use the F30 with my travel CPAP and it is a hybrid ffm that seals under the nose and works quite well.

Give either one of those a shot.

Same situation here, how did you go with Airfit F20?

I note that Airtouch F20 cushion needs to be replaced every month.

This is by DESIGN.
Evil, but brilliant.
Try the Sleepweaver cloth mask.
Cloth is far more flexible than molded silicone, and accommodates tiny noses better.

Interesting enough, base on the Sleepweaver sizing guide (https://5faacd0c97cf0d23c6dc-064f3cd61b ... -14-13.pdf) I am a small for height and large for nasal width, I guess that means it's not designed for Asians.

Sizing guides are only suggestions.
Cloth masks are far more flexible, size-wise than silicone.
Cpap.com has free return insurance on any Sleepweaver mask.
I even altered a medium for myself before they made a small.

I have already used 1 free return on an airfit N20 (leaking at the nose), this time I am thinking of trying Airfit F20 and SleepWeaver, I wonder if they will let me do free return again if they don't fit?

If you are looking for a nasal mask, I've personally seen a lot of Asians have success with the Pico mask from Philips Respironics. It's pretty inexpensive also which is a nice bonus.

or the Resmed comparable the Mirage FX:
