Tips for Side Sleepers?

Post by Jason S. » Mon Feb 16, 2009 6:08 pm

Any recommendations on how to keep my FFM mask from moving and subsequently leaking everytime I change positions with my head on the pillow?

I use the papillow and it helps no matter what mask I'm using. The mask sort of hangs over the side of the pillow. I LOVE it!

I use a memory foam pillow and sleep towards the edge of the pillow. They are smaller than the queen size or regular size pillow I used to use.
