I have some nights like that. I showered and shaved prior to bed. Not sure if shaving irritated my skin somewhat, and the mask only added to the discomfort.

Last night sucked! Even using my AirFit F30, it was bothersome. I only used it for a little over 2.5 hrs., and I took it off and went back to sleep.

Per Post #81 by Big Guy, I think we all have had some odd, unexplainable, quirky nights with our masks. With my F30i, I would often wake up at 5 am and take off the mask because of discomfort and/or incessant leakage. Then I would fall back to sleep and wake around 7, and feel like that last 2 hours was the most refreshing part of my sleep.
So far, and with only a few nights with the F40, I have not found the need to do the same. Fingers are crossed that this will be the answer to all the other masks oddities and quirks. I'll be posting a comprehensive review of the F40 once I log some meaningful hours on this thing. The good, the bad and everything in between. Hopefully it will help a few folks moving forward in their CPAP journeys.

I'm going back to using my AirFit F40 mask tonight. As much as I like my F30, it's just not performing for me like it used to. The cushion is new and overall, is in like new condition.
I washed the cushion well last night prior to going to bed. I still had too many leaks. Anyways, the F40 it is. I'm fortunate to have the F20, F30, and the F40 on hand to choose from. I'm a notorious side-sleeper and mouth-breather. For so long, the F30 worked great. Now.....not so much.

Not sure if it's just because it's hotter out or what, but I got in 1.5 hrs. of CPAP use last night, using my AirFit F40 mask.
We had the bedroom window open with a box fan in it, pulling in some cool night air. We then had a wind storm blow thru, as it brought some rain with it. I had to get up and remove the fan and close the window. It was at that time that I took my mask off and called it quits for the night. Went back to bed and slept fine w/o my CPAP.

On third night with F40. Best mask out of 5. So glad to finally have a smaller mask that seals without super tight straps and headgear is easy to put on. And! off the top of my nose where a sore was forming from F20.

Can I ask if you tighten both straps as tight as you can on F40?
I find it way more comfortable than f20 which also gave me nose sores on bridge of nose

I've been using the f40 for around a month now. I find I still need to tape my mouth or I wake up witha dry mouth.
I also have to put a narrow strip of cover roll stretch from yhe tip of my nose down to the top of my lip. Otherwise I end up with a bruise right at the base of the septum.

I have the Standard head gear size and it is doing well so far with minimal tension on both sets of straps. It has been a relief to not have to strap a mask down so tight it hurts to keep it from leaking as needed with the F20. I expect though, that after a couple of weeks, I will need to tighten the straps more. It has been my experience that after two weeks all masks start losing their seal.
