I have a full beard because I portray Santa during the Christmas season.
I use a Simplus full face mask and it does great. It is a little tighter than most wear it but I get very few leeks with it. The Dr. said I would have difficulties getting a good seal but that was not so.

Re: Waking up to go to the bathroom
I have been on my CPAP for about 6 weeks. I have yet to sleep a full night. I most always get up once to relieve my bladder sometimes twice.

Re: Took off the Humidifier
The settings for the humidifier was at 2. (It only gave 1,2, or 3.) No, I do not have a heated hose.
