Strap marks in your cheek - stanleydean - 04-08-2019
I sleep on my left side and was wearing strap marks most of the the next day. I found that a folded handkerchief slipped under the strap eliminates the crease. The handkerchief stays in place and works better than anything else I've tried. I'm sure there are other solutions that work well, maybe some of them can be shared.

Dreamport mask has no headgear. Can’t leave marks...

I use a ResMed AirFit N20 and had the same issue with strap marks. I bought strap pads from
Supplier #31, and that completely solved the issue. Commercial Link Removed

The P10 headgear left no marks.
The F20 headgear leaves a strong mark. I'm intrigued by Bob's experience with the pads- I'll try those!
The Amara View leaves daylong marks on my face, probably because I have to crank it down so tight to keep it from leaking.
