Be aware that pressure needs to be re-adjusted after the mask change.

Oh man. Well, I'm fine with that. This full face mask isn't very helpful for me since I tend to be a side and belly sleeper. I really appreciate your help!

I didn't think your leaking was really an issue, as leaks were arounf 8l/min. No large leaks reaching 24l/min when it can really mess with your therapy. But  I do find a little lower rate is more comfortable.

You could check out the mask primer that has some good tips.

Pillows masks are great, as really minimalist. Downside, as you indicated, are more difficult if you are a mouth breather, needing tape. 

The tape must be wide enough to cover the weak points of the corners of your mouth, and I find best results obtained when you curl your lips inwards first before applying tape. You get a sort of double seal. 

I have a Breveda with an exit port diffuser, so virtually no noise, and no annoying exiting air rush.

But the above points are my opinion, down to personal preferences and sensitivities. 

We are all different of course.

I decided to try my N20 nasal mask last night. After raising the therapy numbers to what was advised, my therapy seems much better. The nasal mask causes some pain below the nose at the mustache and the mouth tape is a pain but the new therapy numbers seemed to help. I have posted last nights record below. Thank you all!!!
