The BEST CPAP Side Sleeper Masks | Sleeping on Side with CPAP

- Best masks for CPAP Side Sleepers. My top picks are the ResMed N20 and P30i, Philips DreamWear Nasal Cradle and the Fisher and Paykel Vitera.
When choosing a CPAP mask for side sleeping, consider the following factors:
Comfort and Fit: The mask should fit snugly without being too tight, and it should feel comfortable when lying on your side.
Mask Seal: It’s important that the mask maintains a good seal against your face to prevent air leaks, which can compromise the effectiveness of the therapy.
Adjustability: Look for masks with adjustable straps to ensure a secure fit that can accommodate movement during sleep.
Hose Positioning: Consider where the hose attaches to the mask. Some masks are designed with top-of-head hose connections that can be more comfortable and less intrusive for side sleepers.

Tristian, I'm very new at using CPAP, my 12th night . I had a lot of questions, didn't really know who to ask. Then I found your videos Yor have helped me tremendously with a lot if different aspects of using and cleaning my CPAP.. Thank You Very Much for posting these.
GREAT!!! Thank you for posting this!!! I am new to the world of CPAP, and this was the video I needed to see!!!
incredibly informative. Thank you so much.
I have the Vitera full face mask and it is perfect for me. I may have to adjust just a bit on my side but it is easy to do just moving my head a bit.
Side sleeper only here. I have used the ResMed F30i the entire time I’ve been on PAP therapy. I am a mouth breather so have to do full face and LOVE the F30i.
How do you get those nostril pieces to line up? I got a medium one and can't get them to line up well. Not enough air thru nose and pressure builds up APAP.
is the 30i capable of having a full face mask? That would seem to me to be the best of both worlds for me but I am just doing recon as my resmed is on order.
Great review. Ty😊
Agree on the F&P full mask.
Regarding the Vitara mask, I have it's predecessor the Simplus, I am a back and side sleeper, I'm forced to use a full face mask due to mouth leaks and jam drop syndrome, (had give up my Resmed N20), love this mask, score 100% every night on Resmed "my Air". I see the improvements on the Vitara so that will be my
next full face mask.
Good stuff!!

My problem with my sinus cushion (P30i) is that as a side sleeper, the exhaust air blasts me in the eyes and makes for a frequently puffy face in the morning. So your top picks help prevent this?
Thank you
I would like a nasal mask that does press on the bridge of my nose like the resmed n20 any ideas?
Is there a better headgear for P10 nasal pillow mask. I have the cable tie top that loosens while I sleep.
Any recommendations for best mask for reading in bed? I use my Kindle to fall asleep, and I'm new to cpap so I haven't started yet!
For me as a side sleeper I really like Airtouch F20 for her. The air leakage is extremely minimal I’m getting a much better nights sleep. I’ve tried nasal pillows and under the nose cradle did not work for me. IMO cpap masks are a little absurd but are much needed
I can only hope that in the future they will come up with a better design for us CPAPer
I have used the airtouch N20 cushion and not once ever had a leak,very cozy and goodnites sleep on a consistent nightly basis .its a excellent non leaking nasal mask ,one of the best I have ever tryed and I have tryed all kinds of masks .
The N20 got a flow of air blowing through the front. I feel like I’m not getting enough air.
I have the N20 and find the cushion itself to fit extremely well. I have an issue with the frame being too large for my head though. It seems extremely tall. They also don't have women's headgear. The frame already goes to where the end of the headgear is. So I have to attach the velcro to the strap that goes across the back. I also have to slightly bow the frame otherwise where the top strap connects is way at the top of my head. If they only had a women's size frame and headgear, this would be an excellent mask. The cushion itself is so great that it is worth putting up with the frame and headgear being too large.
I have the Resmed N20 For Her. Fits me well. ❤
Interesting..why the p30i over Dreamwear pillows?
i'm a side open mouth sleeper, what do you recommend ?
😂 bit extreme to push what you think is the best. P10 I only sleep on my side, works for me 🤷♂️
whats wrong with F30i or dream wear version
For over 5 years I used Resmed Airfit nasal masks with magnets but can’t use them anymore as I have a cochlea implant by left ear. I am side sleeper keep Resmed S10 in night table below bed and pull hose over a flexible pole above head to help prevent hose tangling in moves. My best ahi readings were consistently with Airfit N20 but cannot find a good option mask to replace without magnets? Velcro does not last well and hard to adjust. Tristan can you make a video to address options to replace the magnets with best masks? Thank you.
I will look into this issue for you, stay tuned!
I'm a side sleeper with a 95% APAP pressure of about 14. Would that be too high a pressure for the P30i pillow mask (ie, force of air going directly into the nostrils)?? Also my hose management system hangs above my head . . . would the non-rotating N20 hose work in my system since it is aimed downward? Thanks. Love your videos!
I’m at 17 cmH2O and have no issues with the P30i. I’m a side sleeper who has tried LOTS of different masks. The P30i is what I’ve stayed with for quite some time. It’s the first mask I’ve used that rarely wakes me up because it’s leaking (the N20 leaked for me). I sleep with the side of my face almost buried in my pillow. I like that this system vents on the mask and on the hose attachment. I like that the hose is on top and totally out of the way. Some people have issues with dry nostrils. I found that the dry nostril issue dissipated over time. The high pressure is not a problem for me. Oh…if you try it make sure you get the right size. Use the measuring guide (get the Fit Pack with 3 sizes at first) Also be patient finding the right adjustment for the Velcro strap. It did take some experimenting getting everything just right, but now I’m a happy side sleeper!
@@tatochip Thanks so much for your reply . . . I'm encouraged and will give the P30i a try. I haven't used pillow masks for many years, so I will probably need to use Lasinoh for a while until my nostrils get adapted!
F30i is for European nose types. If you got a button nose or flat nose - nose part sucks, will leak under nose since hole is too big.
I toss, I use the N 20 and I wish it was more comfortable.
I purchased the F & P Vitera. I love the fit, but it wakes me up at high pressures because it makes a lot of weird noises! The ResMed F20 does not fit me as well, but it doesn’t wake me up.
Do you think you may have to go down in your humidity level? Maybe there is too much moisture accumulating in the hose?
For me, resmed n20 by far
I totally agree N20 nasal mask is number 1 in CPAP I love it 😅
Just a suggestion, I'd really like to see masks that use another material material other than silicone. Silicone irritates my skin really bad.
I bought the P10 as it looked so unobtrusive but i found it caused me considerable pain just above my top lip/below my nose. I paid over £100 and am going throw it in the bin as it's unusable for me
What if I’m a mouth breather?
I don't like silicone, it irritates my skin. I use the P10 it's good but leaks when you sleep on your side. I haven't found one I love yet.
I'm surprised the silicone causes irritation. Are you perhaps using some sort of medicated or scented cream or lotion prior to applying the mask? It could be full contact with the cream on your face without your skin being able to breathe for 8 hours. Perhaps something very gentle like aveeno or no lotion?
Every time I use the n20 I get a massive amount of rainout
This may be a dumb question, so apologies in advance: what do you mean exactly by “side sleeping?” Or to put it another way, side-sleeping as opposed to what? Back sleeping? I use a p-10 and sleep “stomach down” with my head turned to the side. Do you consider that to be side sleeping? The p-10 isn’t ideal, but the only success I have had has been with nasal pillows - I can’t get a good seal with the under-nose masks.
Hi there, side sleepers will sleep on their shoulders and often alternate sides throughout the night. Stomach Sleeping (you), is similar to side sleeping, so this video still applies. A top mounted mask (if you find it comfortable), such as the P30i with a tube hook, would likely yield the best results for you.
What is a Tube Hook - Video: ruclips.net/video/385CsGDfRIg/видео.html
See my reply to Joyfulknitter above. I’m a side sleeper who had issues with the P10. No issues at all with p30i
@@thecpapstore Thank you for your response and explanation. The P30i looks like my next “try”. And thank you for the link to the tube hook video. I’m relatively new to CPAP gear and wasn’t aware these were available. I certainly appreciate your help!
@@tatochip Thank you for your response to me and to the other poster. It was very kind of you. As you can see in my comment to the CPAP store guy, I think the p30i mask is in my future. And from your other comment, thank you for the “fitting” information.
I also made a (long) comment to Joyfulknitter’s post about a pillow that has really worked out great for me if you are interested. All this CPAP stuff is a lot of trial and error with lots of frustration thrown in for good measure! I think that, for now anyway, I’ve got things set up and working in a way I can live with. Good luck and hang in there
I use the ResMed N20. I don't sleep on my side though. I sleep on my back all night. I like the ResMed N20.
Hi. Im new to the world of CPAP machines and masks. Anyone got any advice to get used to it , is there someone who never gets used to it?
Havent got any equipment yet, just wondered if anyone has any experiences :) ?
Got used to mine quite quick managed to keep mask on all night on night 3 these modern masks are so comfortable the silicone really is very soft just need the right mask for your sleeping position and you'll be fine
I am petite. I started with the P10. Cannot side sleep. Also the clip moves. I taped near the clip with medical tape so it doesn’t move. Still slips. So I put hair in pony tail and rest elastic on pony tail and than clip the other end of the pony tail above the clasp. I can’t move to my side without it being pushed off. Then I tried the resmed n30i top mount. It was
enormous on me and I could get
a seal no matter what I did.
Please tell me any mask that can work for a small face. I even have a problem getting glasses due to my small face. Please help.
Hi there, were you using the "For Her" P10 or regular. And were using a size small frame of the N30i?
At last, just to confirm you are a side sleeper?
From the sounds of it, I would try the N20 For Her Mask or ensure you have the size small in the N30i.
I was actually using the N30 ( ponytail/medical tape). The recd N30i/way too big, then the N20 for her which has super comfortable head set that fits and is secure but the nosepiece has a i s hard plastic part which cuts into my nose. So I am back to the N30 w ponytail etc.
is it really true that some companies allow a 30 day trial period and if returned money returned and you try another? Do medical supply shops of Cpap stuff to look at?
What about the f&p Evora hybrid for side sleepers?
I personally found that the lower cushion portion was too wide and caused leaks for me around my nose, however I'm sure it works well for many others!
It's good for flat nose more, but the elephant tube hang not great for running to bathroom or frequent moving. You need to buy a CPAP tub holder over your head to reduce your chance of wrapping around tube.
@@adila2442 what’s so hard about the tube if you have too piss in middle of nite just unplug it ,I never had any issues with front nose tube hookups on my CPAP .
I have the evora hybrid it works at any angle just fine .i have. NEVER NOT ONCE had a hose get wrapped around my head or mask during the nite ,a person would have too be rolling a lot too have that happen,it’s Ridiclous and hilarious😂
I was wondering which mask you think would be good to prevent hair loss from traction alopecia? I love the air 10 but it’s causing hair loss despite using a bonnet
are you looking for a full face mask or nasal? Also what type of nose do you have flat/soft/wide or pointed/structured/narrow?
@@thecpapstore hello I have been using nasal until now although I’ve recently discovered I’m having leaks and thinking it could be mouth breathing so going to move away from the nasal inserts to cushions or other nasal types. My nose is like average size and not too soft or hard
I think the air 10 strap is too tight perhaps I have a larger head, the 30i caused me leaks at the top when I slept on my back and I think the silicone wasn’t good for the hair loss. I usually start sleeping on my side then roll on to my back when I’m asleep. You would think the air 10 would be good because its a thin strap but i have lost a lot of hair. curius your thoughts on this issue
Thank you
Somebody comment on mask for people with deviated septum. Have a tendency for mouth breathing
I'm about to go into our local supplier who did the test for me that said I need to start using a CPAP...I'm assuming there will be some high pressure sales tactics, including the whole "you need us to set the machine up for you"...is this true? Seems to me these new fancy machines like the resmet 11 are kinda self explanitory.
They don’t really try to sell you anything, you’re already paying for the machine. The tech just sets up basic settings to auto and your prescription settings which you can’t change when you get home I suggest you check the settings on auto some people like some in manual
Hi, I couldn’t find your fb group.
Let me know if this link works! Its a VERY new group... facebook.com/groups/338669365661970/
@@thecpapstore yes it works, thanks.
none of them work for bipap
Not a remotely credible review. The n20 frame rigidity will push the mask away from your nose and cause severe leaks and noise. Likewise n30 and dreamwear variants also dislodge as soon as you lay your head on the side, and start leaking heavily. I was hoping I’d get some sensible advice from this video but clearly yet another sales pitch bought and paid for by the manufacturers :-(
I started out with the N20 and was awful. It was great for sleeping on my back, but when I would try sleeping on my side, it would shift around and would start blowing cold air up into my eyes. It just drove me nuts.
Yes is true, happen the same thing to me! Any recommendations I sleep must of the time in side ways plus w the open mouth?
@MrEcm51 exactly happen with me!
@@user-ls3hf8xo8i I switched to the P10 mask with the nasal pillows going into my nostrils, and it’s much much better for me.
I experimented with all three sizes of nasal pillows that come with the P10, and large has worked out fantastic.
I can sleep in any position, and they stay in my nostrils. I don’t have any issues with my mouth being open that I know of. You might try the P10, or I think it’s the N30i with the nose cradle. I’m not sure if the n30i comes with a chin strap or not.
Keep experimenting, and you’ll find the right mask, but I do know that the N20 definitely wasn’t for me.
Good luck. 😃
I'm a side sleeper, and finally found the N20 after trying like 6 other masks. Including the N30i that I thought would love. But when laying my head on the pillow, the cradle moved just enough so it's no longer aligned to my nose....so I end up not being able to breathe without holding the thing in place.
The N20 is perfect. No matter how I toss and turn, it never moves from where I put it.
LOL, you didn't include Eclipse or DreamPort? You left out the best side sleeping mask on the market; let's you sleep on your side with NO headgear or straps, and won't leak if you put them on correctly. Really missed the mark on this. I propose a LIVE STREAM where we face roll on the pillow, but we add in a pressure of straight 25. Let's see you bring any your masks to that.
"really missed the mark" wtf. how original, a mask company says their masks are the best. who would have thought...
@@BartHugo Not just saying. Willing to prove on a live stream at a pressure of 25. Let's go.
@@BleepSleep cool, send me the link to the livestream. i've never seen it before. do you sell in canada
What mask do you think is the best?
Hey Bleep! Thanks for your comment and supporting the channel! We would love to review the Eclipse and DreamPort masks. However, we have reached out to you multiple times in the past and never heard back. Please contact us on our website thecpapstore.ca so we can get your products in hand.
I admit to being vain but I don't want to have a bad hair day everyday for the rest of my life, it there anything that you don't have to wrap around olyour head like a bad ortho headgear from the the 80's.
Try BLEEP masks. They do not need headgear and are amazing. We can not sell them in Canada, but we will be coming out with a review soon.
