How does sleeping your side with thr Hybrid fare?

If I use the corner of my pillow I can sleep on my side without having leakage.

Ditto ... and if I don't get the corner of the pillow it only requires very quick and simple adjustment of the mask while still mostly asleep. Works quite well for my round face.

Same here. I use a temperpedic pillow and always have my masks a little off the edge.
Hybrid is a miracle mask for me.

This year I have discovered it is easy to sleep on my

Just got back from the DME and I got my hot little hands on a hybrid (mouthbreather here. That sounds kind of creepy for some reason). Any tips before I take the plunge tonight? The RT took the time to fit me and even let me lay down on a platic covered bed they brought in the office. But I have a feeling a little fiddling will be in order. What have folks found to be the biggest issues relative to getting this mask to work as it should?

The RT said that he has not had success getting this particular mask to work correctly on his patients as of yet. His record he said was 0 for 3. At least he was honest enough to tell me that instead of trying to blow smoke up my...

I use the hybrid and sleep on my side most of the time. The papillow has made it very easy for me to be comfortable in any position.
An RT also fitted my mask for me. I had already checked on this forum and took lots of time playing with the mask, laying down, trying different positions. Since then I haven't had any trouble except tender nares, but they went away after a few days.

Count me in as another happy Hybrid side sleeper!
Like the others, I just gage myself on the corner or edge of the pillow and all is fine!

Add me to the list of happy Hybrid users! This mask is really comfortable and I do sleep on the side sometimes.

Rooster,
Did you happen to read my latest post? If your headgear gets flimsy, or you're not happy with the velcro, they have updated their headgear and its BETTER now. They will send it to you for free if you call their customer service number.

i just got the new straps today WOW what a change i will be giving it a try tonight.
it does take a bit to get the fit right. i think the trick is to have the straps even on both sides.
