Yes, there are 3 sizes(small,medium,large) and 2 cushion styles(standard,shallow) for the Mirage Full-Face Series2 mask. Getting the proper fit for this mask is essential and there is a sizing template available to determine the correct size(the DME should have this). I'm borderline between a small & medium size and only the standard cushion worked for me but everyone is different. At my DME I was able to try a small & medium at their office with my cpap machine and bed pillow to see which one would work best. You might want to get a list of DME providers from your insurance and call them to see if they stock several sizes(and can measure you with the sizing template) and if they will let me try it at their office to find the one that leaks the least.
