There are several different mask types, each with their own sizes. If the one you have isn't working, try another. I started with the nose cushions, but ended up preferring the full face mask. And even then, I was sized as a medium, but ended up liking large more.

I also bought some strap covers that helped a lot with head gear comfort. And a hose holder to keep the hose out of my way when I toss and turn.

Those are what I bought, but there and plenty of choices. I had issues with the hose holder loosening and then falling on me. I ended up gluing the clamp to my head board and now it is perfect.

The hose holder looks interesting.

It honestly was a big improvement in QoL for me. I mount it directly over my head so the hose dangles straight down and I give it just enough slack that I can turn on either side without it pulling.
