I hope you can find something that works for you and provide an update to let us know. I'm still looking for the perfect full face CPAP mask due to the bridge of my nose always being red and sore when waking up. Have been thinking about what @thankful mentioned about having one of those face shapes that doesn't really fit well with the full face masks. I even tried one of those Respironics FitLife masks that covers the entire face but they don't work well for a side sleeper which I am for a majority of the night. So my next step may be looking for one that just covers the nose and using mouth tape and/or a chin strap.

I tried several full face masks and finally I am using the Airfit n30 with a chin strap part of the week and tape the other days. I also am a side sleeper and this works the best for me. I'm going to try the 3M strong hold tape now. Thanks to everyone for the recommendation.

I just use Resmed 11 cpap with mask covering only the nose and the tube in the back of my head. Also I use 3M tape for my mouth. It works really well together. Prior with taping my mouth, I ended with three loose teeth and painful jaw. I had the three teeth removed then went back to wearing cpap as my sleep apnea was getting worse causing more sleeping problems. I am still tired but hopefully this second time around with patience will solved my sleep apnea.
Good luck to you,
Susie
