You can buy (https://www.padacheek.com/) or make padding for that mask.

If you want to try a different mask, I like the ResMed F30i full face mask - https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... -face-mask Now, if you overtighten the mask, it may still leave marks on your face.

Only one with the foam that is full face mask that I can think of is this one.

ResMed AirTouch F20 full face mask.
https://www.cpap.com/productpage/resmed ... -cpap-mask

Do note that there is a silicone cushion version available that is interchangeable with the AirTouch meaning it will fit on the AirTouch frame so if someone ends up trying the AirTouch F20 with the foam cushion and it doesn't work out they have the option of the traditional silicone cushion.

AirTouch....memory foam cushion
AirFit....traditional silicone cushion

Your problem with breathing with the padacheek mask liner.....did you cut the openings larger???? You are supposed to do a bit of surgery to open up the holes more per your personal peference.

Over-tightening the mask is bad for the face, and ruins the headgear.
Watch adjustment videos for the mask you use.
Tighter is not better.

you might want to check cpap.com and browse the mask selection to get an idea.
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

The ResMed AirTouch F20 is the only mask that uses memory foam.
