I often wonder if the engineers who design the masks have actually tried to sleep with them.  There should be way more sizes, at a minimum.  Eyeglass frames, for example, come in so many shapes and sizes.  A lot of that is fashion, but the shapes and sizes of people's faces, noses, and heads varies so much.  As it is we have to try different types of masks and different brands of the same type until we find one that happens to fit OK.

Exactly. My cat thinks it's a dog. Follows me everywhere and walks on a leash.  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=...000&type=3

the mask marketing department won. Engineering department?  Pft we don't need no stinking intelligent & thoughtful engineering. Give us stuff with flowers or manly names and call it good.

RE: These darn masks
My two cents about the ResMed P30i and N3i. They are good masks except for the strap which is located too high on the back of the head and slides up during the night. I switched the headgear to the DreamWear headgear with arms that fit the P/N30i perfectly and solved the problem. Amazon sells them for as low as $9 bucks. I tested at 72 events per hour, now thanks to ResmMed, OSCAR, and this board my events are 1.0> and sometimes 0.0 with leakage in the low teens. I also use a cheap chin strap from Amazon and "Burt's Bees" lip balm sparingly on my nostrils. Hope this helps.
