I'm a side sleeper, which mask is the best fit for me?

Best Masks for Side Sleepers

As a side sleeper, you are in a unique position with your CPAP equipment. The best mask types for side sleepers are nasal and nasal pillow masks as they cover a smaller surface area of your face, allowing for more movement.  If these two masks don't work for you, there are more options to consider for your comfort!

Chinstraps 

If you are a side sleeper and a mouth breather, do consider using a nasal or nasal pillow mask along with a chinstrap to keep your mouth closed throughout the night. 

Full Face Masks for Side Sleepers

If you are a side sleeper and mouth breather, but the nasal or nasal pillow option with a chinstrap doesn't work for you, consider the Philips DreamWear Full Face Mask or the AirFit F30i Full Face Mask with Headgear by ResMed .These full face masks with a "top of the head" tube connection have a unique design, allowing for more freedom of movement and comfort. 

"Top of the Head" Tubing Connection
