for the full face mask or to just BELOW THE NOSE instead of below the lower lip for the nasal cushion type masks.

Above is a side-by-side comparison of a Medium Soyala Full Face and a "Medium" UltraMirage Full Face, you can clearly see the difference in sizing.

Now take a good look at those pictures of the Soyola and the Mirage. Look real close as both have an outer cushion cover. When I do a size comparison I measure from the TOP of the OPENING of the CUSHION (not the cushion cover) to the BOTTOM of the OPENING of the CUSHION (not the cushion cover).

That leaves the cushion cover room when the mask fills w/air from the CPAP to curl UNDER to form the SEAL.

Correct me if you measure differently, SnoreDog.

Atruvirgo,

I just got a hans rudolph size xsml from a very kind forum member in Australia who saw that I was having luck with HR and thought it might fit me.

Due to recovering from surgery, I haven't tried it on or washed it or anything yet. You sound like you could use a free mask more than I could--pm me with your snail mail again and I will have my husband post it to you tomorrow.

It sounds to me that your problem is mouth breathing or leaking more than mask problems. Study the posts on eliminating mouth breathing and if you can do that you might find that a good nasal mask will work for you.

[quote="dieselgal"]Sounds like you and I have some of the same problems. I am still searching too.
Also you said you have tried the F&P 406, where does that one not fit you?
This last 2 nights I have used the Activa. It is WAY to big but I have pulled it down so it doesn't leak into my eyes and just let it set on my top teeth! It seals and if I can go to sleep with the mask on my lip I can sleep. I wish they made it a half inch shorter or 1 inch longer and I could use it for a ff!
