RE: full mask, non-magnetic
I have one of the older full face mask models (fits over the bridge of the nose at the top - triangular shaped), the F & P Vitera.  No magnets.  IMO, one of the best older style, traditional full face masks.  Also have a much older Resmed Quattro FX I like a lot (very similar to the Vitera with a great, comfortable fit over the bridge of the nose.  

There are numerous hybrid full face masks now on the market (they are probably more comfortable than the older style since they fit under the nose to make the seal).  

2 here that I have seen at ApneaBoard that are pretty popular are the F & P Evora and the Resmed F40.  I am not sure if either of those have magnets though.  

I have an old dreamwear hybrid full face mask with magnets though. I don't use it often, but ok mask IMO.  

I encourage you to do research online as well.  I have looked at easily over 100 masks already in search of the best mask (I have, at times, high pressures with this ventilator).  I have 5 different masks at current.  Some members even rotate out a few masks when one mask gets uncomfortable or starts leaking.  

If anyone else has any favorite (non magnet) full face masks, please post for the OP.

Resmed Quattro FX the only mask that really works for me. I've used it many years. we have the same problem probably need something tight. this is the one you're looking for. it must be the Resmed Quattro FX. there are other quattro not the same.
