This is going to be the one

"The Comfort Curve is the fourth mask that I've tried (six if you count the two at the sleep clinic). I think this is going to be the one that works for me. The mask does not put any pressure on my nose or on my upper teeth. The pads put gentle pressure on my cheekbones.
It stays in place pretty well when I sleep on my side. It stays perfectly well when I sleep on my back. When I turn to my side, I situate myself just right on my memory foam pillow and then I'm set.
P.S. the nasal mask hurt my upper teeth; the full mask at the clinic was great but they won't give me the name of that model; the next full face mask caused an indentation in the bridge of my nose that hurt and caused redness and a callus; the gel full mask kept slipping into my mouth; the mask with nose pillows and a mouth covering was okay but needing frequent adjusting; SO I finally found one that I'm very satisfied with. It didn't get an excellent rating because it's only been one week."

"Much more comfortable and quieter than any other mask I have tried. Also, it is more secure. It does not shift as often or as far as other masks. I keep my machine on my right and could only sleep lying on my right side. Now, I can lie on either side."

Better than others I've tried

"As a new CPAP user, this is the third and the best mask I have found. The headgear is very comfortable, with no pressure points on my jaw, temples or at the base of my skull. I love how "open" it feels- with nothing on my forehead or chin, I feel much less confined than I did in other full-face or mouth/nose combo masks. My one isue is that it does still leak sometimes. Usually, I fall asleep OK without leaks, but then wake up a few hours later with leaks around my nose- I think this is because I roll around a lot. To sum up *my* findings:
PROS: very open design
very lightweight
easy to adjust
very comfortable
CONS: the air hose is NOT universal
there are still some leaks if you move around a lot
the directions on assembly are not very clear
the vents kind of point out and down, which blows air onto your arms/chest and can feel chilly."

"I love this mask. Getting the fit under the nose took a bit of trial and error. This mask stays in place for me and is very comfortable with only slight red marks in morning. I also find the headgear does not slip up the back of my head and come off during the night. (I also don't get bunched up hair in the morning.) I have had few problems with leaks. My last mask was the mirage swift II by ResMed which I really liked but I had a few problems with leaks and keeping the mask on all night. The headgear would slid up the back of my head and come off durning the night."

An alternative

"I was set up with Fisher&Paykel's FlexiFit407 mask after my sleep study. This mask was alright, but forced me to sleep on my back. I rarely sleep on my back and soon after I was getting back pain. I selected your mask because it looked like it would give me the freedom to sleep on my side and not have as much leakage. I now can sleep on my side which will help my quality of sleep."
