Did you do the "boiling" routine to fit it?

Other options are tweaking headgear adjustments, a different mask or different (bed) pillow.

Wulfman,

What is the "boiling" routine?

The Respironics gel masks can be boiled and fitted to fit to one's face. Instructions to do this should be in the user's manual that came with the mask.

From the above link:

"The ComfortGel is the upgrade to the very popular Profile Lite Gel Mask. It has the same gel that can be boiled and custom fit to your face, but most people get a good fit from one of the four sizes without molding the gel."

In addition, when you fit the mask to your face, try lying in your normal sleep position, ie if you are a side sleeper, try adjusting the mask while you are lying on your side instead of while you are sitting or standing.
