Generally, nasal pillows, nasal masks and cradle masks are more suitable for side sleepers as they allow for greater freedom during sleep.
The four main questions to ask when buying a CPAP mask for a side sleeper include:
- Does it provide you with a comfortable sleeping experience?
- Is the mask small and lightweight or large and bulky?
- Is the mask going to stay still during sleep or will it move as you adjust positon?
- Does the mask provide you with freedom even while lying on your side?
