Well, yeah, absolutely - but FF masks have some of their own issues.

1) Some can't tolerate - feeling claustrophobic

2) more likely for small leaks around the face (due to larger surface area of gasket)

But if you're bigges issue is opening your mouth when you sleep and you don't have a problem with the mask covering more of your face then FF might be for you. I love mine - a nasal only totally freaks me out.
