Hi,
I have been side and (barely) stomach sleeping, wearing my ResMed Airfit F10 mask, It has been leaking a bit more on the last two nights. Last night, it leaked under my chin, and on the sides, and the night before, it leaked on the bridge of my nose. I now have a pressure sore on the left side of the bridge of my nose. I've purchased some mask liners from cpap.com, and I'm hoping they help.
Is there a better pillow option for this, should I change masks, or do both? Are there any stomach sleepers here who use an ffm? Pugsy recommended that I buy a memory foam pillow and cut a hole out on the side, which I may still do.
Stomach and side sleeping in an FFM? Please help.

I sleep on my side with the Quattro FF mask without a problem....I use the buckwheat hull pillow, but, I'll bet it's not your pillow.....It's the mask or the way you are wearing it.

How do you like the F&P mask? I forgot to look at your profile during our PM.
