Currently using an F10 (from ebay) and would like to try a F20.

Thanks
Chris
At at least a couple of online places you can by the mask, sans headgear, without a prescription. Prescription is only required for a complete mask set with the gear attached. But, you can add headgear separately in the same order and put it on yourself. This is true of at least cpap.com and 1800cpap.com , but probably others as well.

Thanks I'll have to look that up and buy. Might give it a month or two to see how they are received.

My wife and I have both been using the F20 mask since last March. We have never had a cushion tear. When we remove or replace the cushion in the frame, we handle it carefully. The same applies when we clean them. The cushions usually get washed once a week.

I feel like the F20 was pushed upon me. I wasn't allowed to try on other masks (nor did I know I could ask). Mine is very uncomfortable and leaks.

I've used the same mask for over a year and mine hasn't torn.

Never really looked at the F10 though it uses the same cushion as the Quattro Air which is what I have been using for a couple years now.

Looks like the F20 cushion goes under the chin, so a different cushion.

The Quatro Air has been so successful I'm not sure I would want to even try a new mask.
it fits the same as the f10, above your chin, below your teeth in the dent. it doesn't have a skirt is the main difference I found. A f20 single piece silicon, I haven't tried the newer memory foam f20

loosen the top straps till it leaks and then just tighten a bit, it may be the reason it rides up. it doesn't fit square on my face

The mask doesn't ride up. I meant that I felt that there was no other choice but the F20 when I went to size for a new mask. I've been through two sleep doctors and I've had the same complaints since 2014.

The mask either leaks or it hurts. Apparently even thought it hurts it still leaks. I wake feeling more exhausted than I did without cpap (BiPAP for me).
