What is considered a "full face" mask today is not what I saw once and have been looking for without success. A long time cpap user showed me his mask that is triangular shaped and actually did cover his entire face from forehead to under chin. Is this a thing of the past? I am continuously trying to find a mask that works. My Fisher Paykel 432 medium comes loose then leaks easily even though I have it strapped down pretty tight. When I mouth breathe, which I do because of such blocked nasal passages, my chin dislodges the mask causing a big gap between it and my face. I tried a chin strap that didn't work, but always..please, looking for suggestions how I may find a mask that works for me. My data card says mine leaks 80% of the time. I've adjusted it so many times but all the adjustments cannot stop me in the night from knocking it loose. Any and all suggestions would be so appreciated.

Check out this mask and see if it looks like what you were thinking about.

Have you tried any other full face masks besides the F & P 432?

Look at my mask below. Are you referring to the Respironics Fitlife Total Face Mask?

FYI - I've always had better luck with the F&P 431 & 407 by keeping the straps loose rather than tight. I found it filled the air bladder a little fuller and allowed more flex before the leaks started.
