Suggestions for Full Face mask

Hello,
I have an Ultra Mirage mask and I'm due for a new one. Whereas I realize mask preference a personal thing, I'd love to know which is the most popular type among CPAP users.

Since I titrate at such a high level and have to have my mask quite tight to avoid leaks, I'm having some trouble with slight bruising on my nose. Is this common, and I wonder if there's a type of mask which can minimize this problem?

Hybrid.

I like the Quattro. As far as the Mirage, obviously the tighter you have it, the more irritation it causes. My experience is when I tighten it too much on the nose, I get leaks down below. When I loosen it at the nose, the leaks around the mouth and cheeks go away. I think you should review the CD that came with the mask or maybe its online? and practice fitting it properly again.

Sure. Any nasal pillow or prong mask. (May require measures to eliminate mouth-breathing)

Or any of several hybrid models.

Thanks a lot.

Great news....I had no idea about the 'hybrid' or 'Prong' masks. From a quick survey it seems the 'prong' I looked at is a lot cheaper than the 'hybrid'. With this type of product I tend to go for quality and durability over price. Also, I am definitely a mouth breather. I'd appreciate any more ideas on make and the pro's and cons of each type.
