I was using a Resmed Mirage FX until recently, but had more leaks when sleeping on the side.
I am now using a Resmed N20: because of the hard frame at the front around the cushion, and also the cushion much smaller than the Mirage FX (comparing medium sizes), the N20 is much more accommodating to side sleepers and fewer leaks.
Nasal pillow mask and side sleepers
Re: Nasal pillow mask and side sleepers
I am a restless side and stomach sleeper. I use the Bleep. I have been using it for 9+ months. That is the longest I have used any mask on this almost 2-year journey into CPAP, and I have tried/used over a dozen other masks! That is because it is the first mask that has really worked for me. My previous mask, that I "settled" for, was the Pilairo Q. Both that and the Nuance Pro I could use on my side, but I had to constantly adjust throughout the night (back head straps are a major issue for me), leading to multiple arousals/wake ups during the night. YMMV

Re: Nasal pillow mask and side sleepers
I sleep on my side and I'm able to use either the P30I or the N30i. The P10 will also work.

Re: Nasal pillow mask and side sleepers
My wife and I both use the P30i. It is similar time the P10 but with the hose on top of your head like the Dreamwear.
I sleep on my side almost all the time. My wife rolls between he back and side all night.
