I use a full-face too and I agree, I think the pressure may need to be different.

Why did you get a different mask than what was a the sleep center?? Tell your doctor to prescribe you that one. There is no reason he should have prescribed something different...and with my experience of a million doctors and apnea for over ten years -- the doctors are NOT always right. Get the mask that worked at the center.

If your doctor won't prescribe it or whatever, call the sleep center, find out the mask and size they used and google it. You may have to pay out-of-pocket for a second mask, but you can get them online and it's like 100-150 bucks. That is worth a better quality of life.
