Well I've used the new F20 mask twice now and can't stand it. In order to stop the leaks I have to have it so tight it's extremely uncomfortable. And, I'm really struggling with the hard part of the mask that sits on the top part of my nose and pushes up on my eyes. I just don't see how I can get used to this. I hate to give up but it's really uncomfortable and I've pulled it off both nights after only a few hours. Still need to try the nasal masks.

Could be the mask you're using (?)
I've had apnea for about 10 years and I have always used the DeVilbiss EasyFit Mask (formerly called the Soyala mask)
I have severe apnea - I'm set at 14/18. The EasyFit works great for higher pressures/keeps a great seal - having a good seal is essential.
I've briefly tried other masks, but have always gone back to the EasyFit.
I tried the Amara View once (literally one night). Found it to be very awkward with with the weird way it seals UNDER the nose.
So you may want to try another mask. I recommend the EasyFit.
