ResMed F40 mask questions?

Big Guy,

Have you tried Silent Night mask covers for your F40?  I just got some.  I tore one up trying to mount it to my F40.  It was a challenge but got one mounted (need four hands).  I like the feel on my oily-skinned bearded face but the leak rate went up as it did with a cover on my F20.

I guess the leak rate is okay as long as it is not Large Leaks which I call blow outs when air blows out the sides of the mask to my face and eyes waking me.  It will be a few days before I see how high the leak rate goes and if AHI goes up from using the covers.  So nice to not have silicone sticking to my skin.
I only give suggestions from experience as a fellow CPAP user, not professional advice.

I haven't had to use any kind of a supplemental cover for any of my masks. I don't experience all that many leaks with my masks. I do have a mustache, but no other facial hair. 

More-times-than-not, I wash my face just before bedtime with liquid soap. It works well removing any oil on my skin, pretty much insuring a good seal with whatever mask I might be using. 

I have the AirFit F20, F30, and F40.
