FitLife side sleepers - pillow recommendations?

Post by loveoverbooks » Wed Mar 25, 2015 8:28 am

I finally got a large FitLife mask to replace the small my DME originally let me borrow. I have been wearing my sleep mask over the FitLife to stabilize it to allow for better side sleeping, as I read here that would help. The small didn't fit to the contours of my face since it was too small, but I was able to sleep on my side without any problems.

Now that I've had the large mask a few days, I'm getting frustrated because the sides of the mask are wider, so unless I arrange myself JUST right on my buckwheat hull pillow, it starts to leak in the temple area, which wakes me up. I think tonight I'll add a lot more hulls to my pillow to raise it up so the edge of the mask can hang over more and see if that help, but does anyone have any pillow suggestions for me? Thanks.
