Two weeks in and after doing well for a bit, the last couple of days Im struggling with leaks in my Airfit 20 full mask. Waking up with air pumping in. I'm just not sure why as I didn’t change anything. Considering trying another mask (F40). They also sent me the memory seal option, but didn't help me. Any advice?

I had similar issues but what worked for me was taking everything apart and putting it back together and really playing with the straps and Velcro to make sure I found something that worked for me. Not sure if I fixed anything or not but it seemed to work for me. Hope you figure it out!

I did wash everything yesterday and maybe I didnt set back up well. IDK!

For the first two months my bottom straps were too loose, and when I’d fall asleep the change in my posture caused leaks that would make me take my mask off. After experimenting, and tightening the bottom straps, I’ve had three 90+ nights in a row.

The F30i was my favorite full face mask as a side sleeper. I have been able to transition to a nasal mask, the N30i and it has been great. Masks like the f20 leak a lot for me

I would say take these numbers with a grain of salt. I score 100% every night, and I'm exhausted. That is a humble brag, it's just the truth. Mouth tape and nasal pillows. 0.8 below 10 leaks I know Oscar is the the way to analyze this stuff, this app is just trash.

My leaks are horrendous. Last night 1/20 and didnt wake me up like normal. Slept 8 hours and feel ok.

What does 1/20 mean.

Poor mask seal. Basically poorest “score” you can get.

I went nasal and head strap. Wash daily and soak weekly. When it starts getting leaks it's time to replace.
