The usual advice for CPAP users who side sleep is to sleep on the edge of our pillow (to prevent pushing the mask off your face) and draping the CPAP hose over the bed head. Although these can help, there are a number of CPAP masks and products that can improve it further.
Nasal Pillow Masks
First of all, it is worthwhile trying a nasal pillow mask. Both the Swift FX and AirFit P10 from ResMed incorporate ResMed’s unique ‘cone shaped’ double walled cushion nasal pillows. Both the Swift FX and AirFit P10 feature a low profile, cheek hugging headgear that barely moves when side sleeping. In addition, the low profile of these masks, as well as the cone shaped pillows, reduce the likelihood of the silicone pillows being pushed out of position.
Nasal CPaP Masks
If your are a nasal mask wearer, it may be worthwhile considering the Mirage Activa LT. Despite being a few years old now, the Mirage Activa LT is still one of the best masks for side sleepers. The reason? When fitted correctly, the Mirage Activa’s Active Cell technology allows the mask frame to shift without moving the cushion. For side sleepers, this allows the mask to be pushed by the pillow (a bit more than other nasal masks) without disturbing the mask seal. The trick with the Activa LT is to fit it loose enough so the air fills the side pockets; this is what allows the mask frame and cushion to move independently.
