Re: Side sleepers please chime in
Still a fan of the Sleepweaver mask (side and facedown sleeper) - works for me, really don't like the hard plastic masks.

Re: Side sleepers please chime in
Mac, any tips of the sleepweaver? I'm a side sleeper who has had good luck with swift fx, but looking for a nasal mask to give my nares a break from time to time. . . my sleepweaver (pink but only because my DME didn't have the leopard print) just won't seal.

I am a side sleeper. I had success with the Quattro but have used the Swift FX for several months now and it works very well for me.

Am a side sleeper, started out on a quattro FX, but after 3 months switched to a F&P 432 which chewed up the bridge of my nose but now use a mirage liberty with good success.

Affirmed side sleeper here -- after running through a variety of mask I've become attached to a Sleepweaver. Works wonderful for me.

Re: Side sleepers please chime in
I am a side sleeper. I've tried a lot of masks, of every type, and the nasal mask that works best for me is the ResMed Activa LT. I'm currently using the AEIOMed Headrest nasal pillow mask, and I have zero leaks almost every night. I also use a small buckwheat hull bed pillow.

Only been a week now with the Quattro FX but hardly a leak and very comfortable for me. First mask I have slept with for 8 hours for consecutive nights.

Re: Side sleepers please chime in
I am thinking about trying the Mirage softgel nasal next
Re: Side sleepers please chime in
The Mirage Activa LT uses the same frame as the Mirage SoftGel, so if you buy the SoftGel and want to try the Activa LT later, all you'd need to buy is the Activa LT cushion.Sparky223 wrote:I am thinking about trying the Mirage softgel nasal next

I'm a side and belly sleeper. I use a Resmed Swift LT for her. No problems and I use regular pillows. I have about 6 of them on the bed..which I arrange.

Re: Side sleepers please chime in
Give the Resmed Softgel a try. I have very few leaks on my side. Just make sure you keep the sheets away from the vent and it is very quiet.
