I have been using the Mirage FF for about a year.You have to give it time to adjust to your face. You are probably using a FF due to sinus or allergy problems that make you a mouth breather.Talk to your Doc about Nazenex and Allegra which seem to help a number of people. I found taking the Nazenex a half hour before bed time really helps(taking it in the morning was a waste). Give it time and readjust the head gearuntil it fits right. Making it tight only causes loud leaks that wake you up. Use only one pillow and start out on your back face up until the mask molds to your face.
Good Luck!!!
