SleepWeaver Mask users have sent us these tips that have made fitting much easier for them.
Tip # 1
I found that if I put the mask on before turning on the blower and making sure my nose was completely in the opening - then turning on the blower and making small tugs if there were any leaks worked best for me.
I have never been able to get rid of all the leaks if I start with the blower on.
I also went to a light weight hose to keep the weight of the hose from pulling on the Mask.
Tip # 2
I had an idea which seems to have panned out - which is relaxing the jaw while fitting the mask, since many people's facial conformations change once the jaw is relaxed. I tried the mask again last night, only I relaxed my jaw as I was fitting the mask. And it worked really well! Its comfortable, quiet and excellent for side sleeping!
Tip #3
Turn the machine on and position your nose in the opening comfortably. Then stop the machine. Hold the material at the top and bottom of the nose opening - with your nose in the hole - all the while pulling the material at the top and bottom in their opposite directions.
Then pull the material the opposite directions left and right - with your nose in the opening still. Make sure the elastic part is on the center of your forehead. Then turn the machine back on.
Tip # 4
Place mask on face without the machine.
Turn on air.
Pull mask down and away at a 30 degree angle.
Bring mask back to your face and push slightly. (this seems to seat it a bit more)
Wait just a minute or two - the mask begins to mold to your face and upon lying down, the little leaks disappear.
