Mask fit changes - why? how?
How can a mask fit % go from 100 one night to 53 the next ? And do you think I can use moleskin on top of memory foam (ResMed f20) over the bridge of my nose?

You developed a leak.
By looking at OSCAR daily charts we can get insight on what kind of leak it is. Leak causes can be Mask is too tight (very common) Mouth breathing Change in sleeping position Mask seal leak Mask age and seal deterioration Is this a one-time thing or is it fairly confident Read the Mask Primer in my signature.

Others have successfully used moleskin applied to the sore spot. Give it a whirl and see whether it helps, makes mask fit worse, etc. You might also consider trying a mask liner. An experimental approach will serve you well.
