If you are using same pillows you started out with a year ago they might have hardened up a little. Even though I try to clean mine every day or so with warm soapy water, mine finally got too stiff to stop leaks at the 365 day mark and I just called my DME for new pillows. She said the insurance company would have replaced them at six months if I had asked.

Also, my head gear shifts and loosens from time to time, so I have to make adjustments, especially after I've just washed that in warm soapy and air dried. If you haven't tightened or adjusted recently you might want to do so.

Hope this helps.
