Hello,
I am new to this forum. It looks like there are a lot of good people with good help here.
I had my first sleep study last month and had an AHI of 27.1 (mostly hypopneas, no centrals). Also diagnosed with hypoxia.
I started out on my side and slept mostly on my stomach with my head turned sideways. I never sleep on my back.
I am scheduled for titration next week so I don't have any equipment yet.
Anybody know of, or uses a mask that works for stomach sleeping, or will I need to change how I sleep?
Also I had no stage 3 sleep. Can CPAP reestablish stage 3?
Thanks!

Sleepweaver masks are cloth so they work very well for stomach sleepers.

I also am new, but I have found that the Swift FX nasal pillows allow me to sleep just about any way I choose. I sleep a little on my side, some on my back, and even on my belly with this mask. I barely have to mess with it at all when I switch positions.
Re: Mask for Stomach Sleeper?
Thanks for your quick reply Stormynights. I'll look into Sleepweaver masks.
