I would suggest tightening the strap at the bottom if it's riding up on your face. Best way to adjust a new mask is to leave all the straps loose, hold it over you face, lie down & turn the machine on. Adjust the straps so the mask seals but is able to "inflate", not clamped down tight.
Question: is it the right size? I use AirTouch F20 and have been using size medium (for several months). Comfortable and was working fine but I thought it was too high on the bridge of my nose (can't put on eyeglasses). So last month I tried size small, and while it fit, the bottom edge was right at my lower lip so that if I yawned it would lift off and ride up. Maybe that's what's happening to you? I used the AirFit until someone in the forum sent me an AirTouch to try.
The difference between AirFit & AirTouch is the seal. They are interchangeable in the headgear. AirFit has a silicone seal, AirTouch has a memory foam seal. I prefer the memory foam, fits my face better and rarely leaks.

Re: Help trouble with AIR FIT F 20
Here is the post Bristolman is referring to. Looks like it would hold the mask onto the chin if it tends to slide around. Good idea!
