Rift face pad uncomfortable, CMDR suggestions?

Tried different combinations as the thick pads are for glasses wearers found the thin pad with the cover is actually very comfortable to wear
Sounds very similiar to how i first experienced it, especially ablut the temples.
My method so far has been to loosen the straps to about as far as they go, and ever so slighly angle the hmd onto my cheeks rather than having on my temples.
I also find the foam to occasionally be far to hard and itchy, a vr cover helps a little but not a lot.

I was just looking at the site and their standard set ($49) states ...
"With each order we include two foam replacements, a thinner pad that will bring you closer to the action by improving field of view and a thicker version containing memory foam which offers superior comfort."
Another post on this thread seemed to imply you needed the Premium set to get this but I'm not sure that's true?
I hoping it's more comfortable as I have to wear the top strap quite high on my head, if I pull it down to the base of my scull as other people do I get a very uncomfortable pain a few inches above my ear towards the back of my head where the harness sits seems to sit on a nerve
So I have it higher consequently I have to tighten the front straps a little more to compensate. And it feels very gritty the foam best way I can explain it

Only if you want the velour pads you have to dish out another 26 dollars. The thin pad along with the cover works nicely so if you don't care about the velour pad go with the 49 dollar set

If you wear it like that the thin pad with the cover should work nicely for you. The velour pad works better if you wear it high as it kind of clamps on your nose. The regular cover with the thin pad seems to be very comfortable to me anyway so anyone ordering could just go with 49 dollar set and would probably suffice. I had their cloth cover for the DK2 and that was better than standard also.

Well having spent the last 4 days trying out the different options I went with the thin valour which is so much more comfortable and is even more comfortable with the cover on. Only problem with the cover is keeping it on without stretching the sides out which seems to cut down my FOV slightly. But very pleased with the purchase for me it's well worth it
