Mask leaking
Is there anyway to stop my mask from leaking during the night? I’m ok until I get hot during the night.

Re: Mask leaking
Welcome to the forum! Could you tell us what kind of mask you have?

Re: Mask leaking
When you wake up during the night, try wiping the cushion with the blankets or a clean dry t-shirt. If the cushion is too oily, use baby wipes, dry and put it back on.
If I were in the USA, I'd try the liners everyone raves about here.

Re: Mask leaking
Thanks but that sounds like a lot of work during the night.
Re: Mask leaking
Amara View is the mask used.
Sue...don't use the report button when you are trying to reply to someone...use the quotations button instead.
When you use the report/flag button no one can see what you are saying.

I may have to RISE but I refuse to SHINE.
Re: Mask leaking
Make sure your mask isn’t TOO tight. Too tight also can create leaks worse than if it’s too loose. I have the ResMed F30 which is almost identical to the Amara View and I was getting small leaks here and there and realized I had it cranked too tight on my face. Adjusted slightly and they went away.
