I use this mask Ginny, and have to say it's the best one I've tried up to now (not tired the Resmed FX yet). The mask seals around the edge of your face so the only possible marks you can get are round the edge of your face (but I don't get these). Although it looks like a very large Buzz Lightyear type of mask, it's actually got a better range of vision than a lot of full face masks.
By the way, I'm thinking perhaps Chris has got confused with this mask, as it shouldn't irritate the bridge of the nose as it doesn't touch it.

I am going next week for a mask fitting and I want to try this one. Thanks for your words of encouragement. I did not think it sat or touched the bridge of your nose. Hopefully the doctor will have a loaner to try since I will have to pay in full for this one, if it works. Thanks again!

Was reading more on this mask and don't feel as hopeful now as it said "not for side sleepers". which I am! Maybe a plastic bag over my head would work? LOL

Do you have alot of air movement in your eyes? I have severe dry eyes and wonder about the extra air irritating them.

Not that I am aware of. However I just read on one site this won't work for people who sleep on their side. I can't sleep any other way. I am running out of options, I think and getting more worried.

Surprisingly, I have no blowing in my eyes whatsoever, and have been troubled more by this from other leaky full face masks Louise.

Well, I'm back Ginny to renew your 'hope' lol. I'm also a side sleeper and never sleep any other way. What I do is get 2 pillows and place the top one away from the side edge of the bottom one. This raises my head in the middle part of the pillow and allows the mask to rest over the the edge of it, and it gently rests on the underneath pillow (hope I've explained it properly). I used to use one of those CPAP pillows with the cut-outs, but the cut-out was never in the right position for me. I've actually designed + patented my own pillow which is just as manufacturing stage, so watch this space........
PS I'm not on commission with Respironics :-D

Well, you have given me renewed "hope"! I have a CPAP contour pillow but don't like it. Will be on the lookout for yours! YOu need to draw me a picture though of your pillow arrangement! :) Will your pillow be out soon? Now my anxiety level has gone back down with my sense of possible solution to this problem~ Thanks~
