For some reason, I have been experiencing mask leakage in the last 4 months that I never experienced
before. It has gotten to the point of my wife having to go into another bedroom to sleep.
The mask is the right size and seems to fit properly.
Anyone else have the same experience?

Re: Mask Leakage
Welcome! Could you let us know what kind of mask you are using? Also, have you replaced it recently? Have you been gaining or losing weight?

Re: Mask Leakage
Have tried a couple of different full face masks over the last 2 months. Currently using a Fisher Paykel Large Full face mask for the last month, FlexiFit 431.
I thought of the weight too but did not have any problem s when I lost 40 lbs or put 15 back on
before problem started.
The only thing I can think of is mask movement from me moving around but again, did not have that problem for
the many years I have been using cpap.
Thanks

Are you and your wife abolutely sure it's the mask leaking?
An improperly seated humidifier? A hose problem? A problem with the humidifier seal / the way the lid closes?
