If you are considering a nasal mask (instead of pillows), Respironics is marketing a fairly new mask called True Blue which has an accordion type cushion which they claim moves with you, especially good for side sleepers.

I haven't tried it but the RT at my DME tried to sell it to me, so I saw it close up.

I haven't tried the " True Blue", but the Activa does the "accordion" thing as well, which I think is part of the reason my DME sent me (side sleeper) home with that as my 2nd mask. I did find it worked well for leaks and stayed on pretty good, but I found the movement of the mask when I'd breathe in and out (I have APAP relief) a little distracting.RandyJ wrote:If you are considering a nasal mask (instead of pillows), Respironics is marketing a fairly new mask called True Blue which has an accordion type cushion which they claim moves with you, especially good for side sleepers.
When I slept on my back I didn't notice the movement so much, but if the mask was in contact with the pillow, I did.
I did find the accordion style worked pretty well though and I slept with it for about a month, but I'm trying to find something else as the motion did wake me up sometimes.
Looking at the reviews, some people do really like these "live" accordion masks.
If you are struggling with congestion, it helped me to add Alkalol to my daily sinus rinse. This reduced my congestion and allows me to breathe freely with my CPAP mask. CPAPtalk post about Alkalol use here: viewtopic.php?p=665255#p665255
