Hi, McMagic---I use a Mirage Series 2 full face mask. It normally gives me a fantastic seal, by the way. According to my sleep data, I've never had a bad mask-leak night until last night. My best guess is that I had the mask's fastener on the back of my neck fastened poorly (such that the two velcro tabs did not overlap nearly enough). If so the headgear's overall diameter would fit a tad too loose---and thus perhaps more easily bumped askew.
