Well, I think many people have trouble with air leaking or even blowing out of their mouths, which isn't exactly the same thing as mouth breathing, which I would consider to include effort to inhale . Apparently anatomy is a major factor in such leaking, and higher pressures would most likely make such leaking worse. Air leaking was why I had to go from pillows to a full face mask. I could clench my jaw shut and air would still blow past my lips. MHAM
