need a new mask
I'm using a quattro and hate it. Didn't I read about a mask for people who sleep on their side?
Re: need a new mask
Do a search for side sleeping. No one can recommend a mask. Everyone's face is different. It is as much the pillow as it is the mask. It's simply trial and error. Your DME should allow you a 30 day return/exchange on masks.
PS...I am a side sleeper and have used the Quattro for almost 3 years.

Re: need a new mask
See the one I use. I'm a side sleeper also.
After trying the Sleep Weaver the last five nites, I've decided to go back to my original mask.
Re: the Sleep Weaver - cloth covering the nose is a great idea and very comfortable. However, the straps leave a lot to be desired and were very uncomfortable. Leaks kept waking me all nite... not easy to get a good seal. They need to come out with a new and much improved mask.

Re: need a new mask
I actually ulled out the soft gel mask that I used in my titration. MUCH more comfortable but I'm calling my dme tomorrow for sure. Found a couple of interesting ones that don't have the headpiece. Any ideas about those?
