Dreamwear frame sizing
How should the Dreamwear frame fit? Should it be a bit loose (can insert figures at top of head) or should it be snug (can't insert fingers easily)? The looser fit seems to work once lying down so perhaps that is ok? The fit probably alters the position of the frame front to back which might change the fit/seal. If too small, it might pull up on my nose and become an issue over time.

RE: Dreamwear frame sizing
I feel like being able to insert 2 fingers is a bit too loose. You could try tightening the back strap a little bit.
I use a medium frame and medium pillows for mine. I try to adjust the back velcro strap so its pretty tight and that makes the rest mask pretty snug. There's kind of a perfect pressure that you just have to find through using the mask. If it doesn't leak during the night and it doesn't cause discomfort/pain from wearing it, its good to go. Which type of Dreamwear mask do you use?

I've been trying the under the nose cushion, but am curious about the pillow too. The frame seems a bit loose to me so I guess I'll test smaller to compare comfort and leaks. The cushion is touchy as it can be leak free or leak from small movements in its position on the face.

RE: Dreamwear frame sizing
Mines also lose, if I tighten to much, it really pulls on the cushion and ends up hurting the area right under the nose. Having a real soft flat pillow has help absorb the frame and reduce movement. I find the cushion more comfortable than the pillows with less leaks. But that’s just an individual thing.
