Has anyone found a full face silicone mask that does not leak?

I've used the Mirage Quattro for 8 years and have never had a leak problem.....Doesn't mean you would not have a problem. Everyone's face is different. Main thing is to get fitted with the correct size....Try the mask on while lying down with a CPAP running at your prescribed pressure.

Since I added a Padacheek mask liner to my silicone AirTouch F20, I get a lot fewer leaks...as long as I stay on my side. If I sleep on my back I have more events, which causes the pressure to go up, which causes more leaks. So it's not perfect. But the liner has helped a lot with it, and is also much more comfortable.
