Hi all
I just found this website which is great.
I use a Mirage Quatro full face mask and it work ok but the problems i am having is a sore bridge of the nose and the cushion jams up and pushes into my eyes around the tearducts. The problem seens to be that i sleep on by side and on my stomach. With the top of the headgear resting on the pillow when my head moves the mask does not.
Has anyone else had this problem and solved it. I am thinking of a mask like the Quatro FX without the bridge support.
I have read the post on this mask and it seems to be favorable.
Any other thoughts.

Re: Mask suggestions for a stomach sleeper
Welcome, Do you have to use a full face? Have you tried other masks?
I use nasal pillows. Swift FX and I can sleep on my stomach... while it's not as easy as other positions.
But if you are a mouth breather, someone will post with pointers.

Re: Mask suggestions for a stomach sleeper
If you are a dedicated mouth breather and need the full face mask you might take a look at the Innomed Hybrid.
Nasal pillows and mouth covered. Nothing on forehead. ResMed Liberty is very similar.
If not mouth breather, then nasal pillow mask is the least intrusive and I can sleep on my stomach if I wish very comfortably. I use the Swift FX. Link to its picture is at the bottom of my post.
When you have time fill in your Profile equipment page with your equipment so we can easily see what you are using and won't have to ask each time should you have questions about something. Welcome to the forum.

I sleep on my tummy and use the Innomed Hybrid mask (not ResMed Liberty!) with excellent results. The Innomed Hybrid, https://www.cpap.com/productpage/RespCa ... -Mask.html , does not touch the bridge of the nose.
