Listen to Pugsy. She has lots of good advice. I too had trouble finding a mask that worked for my side/stomach sleeping. I went through 5 different masks in the first 2 months of therapy. I recently got a Dreamwear nasal mask. I fits nicely under the nose, and not inside the nose like nasal pillows....
