I tried the Quattro FX for the last two nights. I always get welts where the silicone touches my face, so I have ordered a liner from PadaCheek.com. I think this mask could work. I have to tighten it down as far as it will go and then wrap some tights around my head to hold it down some more. When people say it supposed to "float", I say, "yeah, right". No mask has ever floated on my face without chirping and farting all night. I have to clamp them down until they stop leaking and then try to sleep through the pain. This one takes the pressure off of my upper teeth and puts in on my chin. I'm hoping that will be better. It sure takes a lot of getting used to on a new mask. This one heaves when I breathe, like the old Activas, and air rushes around my face. I've been taping for years, so it's weird to feel air blowing across my lips.

I just ordered mask liners from Reszzzz to help with the leaks, but I'll be honest I don't think there is a mask out ther that doesn't leak. I will report on the succes or failure on the liners, I like my Quattro FX and don't want to buy another mask.

Pad-a-Cheek also make liners for the Quattro FX.

Just received the Reszzz liners yesterday, wrong size but they seem to fit. It worked as advertised, reduced the leaks to one. I am satisfied this will help me to keep the mask and not have to get another. As I said, I don't think there is a mask that is leak free, but the liners did help me. Hope this help someone else that is haviing FX mask problems.

You will have better luck posting a new thread with title - need to buy mask in San Fransisco or Las Vegas. This thread is an old one, and it is about the Quattro FX. The people in those cities won't see this post unless they care about the quattro fx mask.
