Airfit F30

(Well I gave it one more shot last night but only lasted a few hours with it because I keep waking up with leaks around my mouth. At one point I even clamped it down pretty good on the bottom and it still leaked and I was on my back. I realized though that even though I breath through my nose when I'm falling asleep, at some point my mouth falls open and that's when the leaks were starting. I'm really not big on the idea of mouth tape or a chin strap, so I think I'm going to try to find a similar mask that has a larger mouth option. Anyone have ideas?)

When I first started using the F 30 I was troubled by leaks. I am now using the Pad a cheek anti leak strap designed for the F 20. It fits and works fine on the F 30 and it has made a huge difference cutting down on leaks.

I have used the Dreamwear FFM and am now using F30. The F30 is dramatically less noisy which is very important to me and it fits me better. I use a Pad a Cheek liner which cuts down on the leaks around the mouth, and lessens the skin irritation on my nose.

It's funny, I just recently (after years of use) started having jaw drop and leaks using my Simplus, and had to start wearing a chin strap... knock on wood, I don't drop my jaw with F30 and don't need an uncomfortable chin strap with it. I've been having decent luck with this mask-if anyone wants to trade a M cushion for my S(makes it hard for me to breathe through my nose), please PM me. I have 1-2 S cushions that I can't use.

I just got the F30 yesterday. I loved the cushion under the nose, but the medium mouth cover seems to be too small for me. Maybe it's normal, but I can feel the edges of the cushion just inside the corners of my mouth and it drives me nuts. Also the whole thing just seemed to be like a clamp keeping my mouth shut. I'll be returning it and sticking with the F20 for FFM. I think I'm going to try a nasal mask though - just have to figure out which one might work best for me.

I'm having same issue I can feel the edge of cushion in corner of my mouth...any solutions?

I went with a different mask

My biggest problem with the f30 is:
1. Get irritation around lower part of nose even though I have straps on the loose side.

2. When I turn from side to side in my bed the mask moves and then breaks the seal.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have used both Dreamwear FF & F30. The dreamwear leaked, and made obnoxious farty noises so I had to buy liners in order to wear it. The liners made my mouth & face itch, so switched to the F30. Love the F30. No leaks, no obnoxious noises, no need for liners and I move around a lot when I sleep, but am mostly a side sleeper. I have recently switched to the N30i with chin strap because I prefer the hose on my head, but still have my F30. Can't give it up and sometimes I still use it.

However, some people prefer the Dreamwear FF and have no issues with it. It is a great mask if it works for you. My brother uses the Dreamwear FF and loves it.

my f30 has several small cuts/checks in the edge of the bottom of the silicone cushion (mouth part). Could this be the reason I am getting a lot of leaks?
