The comfort curve is the only one (of many) interfaces I have never been able to get to fit right. I think it has something to do with facial bone structure.

I didn't have any problems with it and I have a mustache. I loved the thing, but it wasn't good for my numbers. My AHI went way up, but I think it had alot to do with me being a mouth breather, so I let a friend have it and he loves it.

I think you're absolutely right, NLT. That, and how full and wide one's face is. Comfort Curve didn't work at all for me either.

Just had a wild idea: How about we add our face measurements to our mask recommendations?
We'll use cpap.com's instructions and
oh! even better:

Johnny - you could create a database of measurements and mask reports, and both cpap.com and we could have some empircal data about which masks go well with which measurments.

If it's technically feasible, Johnny, you could run a poll of "would you agree to have you measurement and mask satisfaction data collected by us" -
