I have severe OSA and recently (4/3) had septoplasty and turbinate surgery. So I though I would be smart and buy a FF Mirage Mask. This piece of !@#%^ is nothing but a torture device, but somehow it got me through. I had to breathe through my mouth and this was the only game in town. I had to increase the pressure of my CPAP machine to get the same results from my nasal mask. (13 to 15). The mask leaked so bad that I used MHAM's idea. (Using a mouth strap as an additional retaining strap on the mask. I woke up every other hour with the hours in between used to readjust the stupid mask. I had to take naps during the day to get enough sleep. It seems that the engineers allowed for a static solution to forces on the mask but did not allow for the dynamics of changing forces when a person moves. I feel your pain. I wish I could do more than relate and empathize.
