I have had several masks in my time and frequently alter them so they better fit me or are more comfortable. Anybody else do the same? What modifications did you make? - ModMasterMike.

no way jose!! a bud of mine from 'nam kept trying to use his rubber band collection to fix his head straps but never worked!! i'll stick with what the factories maek!
I've tried so many masks and none have fit me well. I've never considered altering them. Would you mind sharing how you've done so?
If your mask is uncomfortable or is not the right fit, you may be using the wrong size mask. One way to make sure you have the right size mask is to measure using the printable sizing templates that are available. You can find the sizing templates for most masks here: CPAP mask sizing guides
If you are using the right size mask but it still isn't comfortable, there are several different products you can use to make your mask more comfortable, like mask liners and nasal pads.

Most of the modifications are minor but they made the mask more comfortable... the one that comes to mind in the Amara View.. my nose didn't fit right into that seat so i cut the piece of the cushion that is in the back of the opening where the nose sits... it worked alot better for me and I ended up using it to train myself to keep my moth closed.... now i wear the Bevida which I cut down the nasal protrusions since they were to small... i opened them up a little and the airflow is a lot better..... my cpap tube is actually 4 tubes strung together with industrial tape and swivels so it does not bind and is more flexible...
